And Example of An Angle bisector:
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

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
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".
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.
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.

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

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)
