ACE 1.1: Similarity, Perimeter, & Area

This week we reviewed perimeter and area formulas for rectangles, triangles, parallelograms, and circles. We also discussed similarity, and solved a problem in which a picture of a person with magazines of known size allow us to determine the size of the person in real life. Similarity in geometry means objects that are the same shape but different sizes.

Notes from class for this week are available to download here.

All students should have received a letter describing this new geometry unit to give to their parents. The letter is available to download here.

The assignment is complete the ACE 1.1 homework problems 1-2 and 8-12 on the handout, which can be downloaded here.

Due Monday, November 9.
