Parallelogram
Heres and example of an parallelogram:

A Parallelogram is a four sided Figure with opposite sides Parallelogram
and equal in length.

Angle Bisector
And Example of An Angle bisector:

(angle ABC)

This is an Angle Bisector.
And angle Bisector is a line that Divides an angle into two equal parts.
-Equal angles are marked with the same angle.

Steps To make an "Angle Bisector"
1. Compass point at the angle vertex make an arc through both arms.
2. Compass point at the vertex of your first arc and make one arm make another arm.
3.Repeat step 2. But from the other arm.
4.Draw line from arc intersecting to angle vertex

This is a picture of an perpendicular bisector
A perpendicular Bisector is a line that divides another line segment in half and meets at right angle.
-Equal line segments are hash marks.
How to make a Perpendicular Bisector
1. Open compass to just over half way of a line segment.
2. Sharp point at "A" Make an Ark
3. Sharp Point at "B" make and Ark

Area of a parallelogram

Base x Height, "b x h"

For example:

Area of a triangle

Every triangle is half of a parallelogram. We know the formula to find the area of a parallelogram is base times height. So the formula for the area of a triangle is half the area of a parallelogram. The formula for area of a triangle is base times height divided by 2.


Formula for area of a triangle is: b x h / 2



Here's a link on area of a triangle.

Base and height

Base- Any side of a closed 2 dimensional figure. Common symbol is "b". 
Height- The perpendicular distance from the base to the opposite side. Common symbol is "h". 

Area of Parallelogram

To find the area of a parallelogram you have to to use a formula. That formula is base times height. 


FORMULA: b x h


Base -any side of a closed 2 dimensional figure/shape.
         -common symbol is b.
Height -the perpendicular distance from the base to the opposite side.
            -common symbol is h. 
Here's a link for more information on the area of the parallelogram.

Central Angle

Central Angle- An angle formed by 2 radii with the vertex (2 lines meet or point) at the center of a circle. 

Parallelogram

Parallelogram- a four sided figure with opposite sides parallel and equal in length.

Perpendicular Bisector

Perpendicular- lines in the same plane that intersect at 90 degree angles.
Bisector- a line that divides another line segment in half and meets at right angle. 
-equal line segments are shown with hash marks.
Perpendicular Bisector- a line that divides another line segment in half and meets at right angle. 
-equal line segments are shown with hash marks.

How to Find The Area in a Parallelogram

Here is a video to help you!

Where The Angles Are

A Link to Help You

Central Angle

Definition- an angle formed by 2 radii with the vertex (2 lines meet or point) at the centre of a circle. 

Diameter

Definition- it's the distance across a circle through its center.

Radius

Definition- The distance from the center of a circle to its outer edge. (Plural is Radii)

Parallel Lines




Definition- lines in the same place that never cross or intersect.

What are the formulas we use to get the area and circumference of a circle?

  1. D=2r.
  2. D/2=R.
  3. C=2πr.
  4. A=πr(squared).
  5. C=πd

Definition of 'Height'

Height: -The perpendicular distance from the base to the opposite side.
             -Common symbol is 'h'.

Definition of 'Base'

Base: -Is any side of a closed two-dimensional figure (or shape).
         -It's common symbol is 'b'.

How to find the Area in a Circle

As an example to show you step-by-step, we'll use r(adius)=12 cm. There is one formula to find the area.
1) A(rea of circle)=πr2 (Always write the formula your using as your first line)
2)A=3.14 x (122) (Write out the second line like so. It will usually specify whether or not you substitute π for 3.14, in this case it does. Put r2 into brackets, meaning in the next line, you will do this first)
3)A=3.14 x 144 ('2' means to square. Meaning you have to multiply the number by itself not by 2, lots of people get confused by this. Your third line should look like this)
4)A=452.2 cm2 (You then multiply 3.14 by your radius squared. There you have it! your answer! Don't forget to add what it's measured in plus squared)

Hope this helped you!

How to find the Circumference

As an example to show you step-by-step, we'll use the number r(adius)=4.6 cm. I'll show you how to find the circumference if you have the radius.


1) C(ircumference)=2πr (This is the formula we use to find the circumference, always write this down first when beginning)
2) C=2 x π x 4.6 (Write out the second line like so but, substitute r for whatever your radius is)
3) C=6.28 x 4.6 (Multiply 2 x π (in most cases it will say to use 3.14 for π), you should get the answer of 6.28. Write that in the place of 2 x π like so)
4) C=28.8 cm (Multiply 6.28 x whatever your radius is and there you have it! the circumference. It will specify if you should round your answer or not, I've rounded the answer to the nearest tenth. Don't forget to include what it's measured in if it said)

I hope this helped you! 

Common terms in Circles

Diameter: Is the distance across a circle through it's circle.
Radius (or 'radii' for plural): Is the distance from the centre of a circle to its outer edge (sort of like a spoke in a wheel).








Circumference: Is the perimeter of a circle, or the distance around the circle.








Area: Is the inside of the perimeter (circumference), or what's inside the circle.
