March 26, 2012

What will be covered?

• Semester 1 material• Segment addition/subtraction• Angle bisectors• Algebraic Proofs• Special Angle Pairs (i.e. corresponding, alternate interior,

alternate exterior, consecutive interior, consecutive exterior)• Triangles (properties of equilateral and isosceles)

•Chapter 5: Relationships in Triangles• Perpendicular bisectors, angle bisectors, medians, altitudes• Inequalities in triangles (relationships between angles and sides)• How to determine if three sides could make a triangle (Triangle Inequality

Theorem)

•Chapter 7: Right Triangles and Trigonometry• Pythagorean Theorem• Special Triangles• Trigonometric Ratios• Solving right triangles using trig• Angle of elevation/depression

•Chapter 6: Ratios and Proportions• Solving proportions using cross-multiplication• Similar polygons

How should I study?1. Practice, Practice, Practice!

• Do as many practice problems as possible that cover the previous topics

• Go through all examples • Cornell notes• Quiz problems• Homework problems• Test problems

2. Come to tutoring if there is a topic you are not sure about!• Will be tutoring Tuesday after school- Room 318

Test Day: Wednesday, March 28
