Parallelogram


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

Base- a side of a closed 2d figure.
- common symbol is b

Height- the perpendicular distance from the base to the opposite side.
- common symbol is h.

This is what some of the parallelograms look like.



Area of a Parallelogram.
To find the area of a parallelogram, you need to do Base x Height (b x h).


Height is the one the look likes the letter h.

How to make a perpendicular bisector

Definition of the word 'Bisect':
Bi=two
Sect=cut
Bisect=to cut on two

There are 3 way on how to make a perpendicular bisector:

Way #1:
What you'll need:
  • Paper
  • Pencil
  • Compass(math tool)
  • Ruler


  1. You first draw a line segment. Lable the ends line segment AB
  2. Place the sharp end of the compass on point A.
  3. Make an arc that is slightly larger than half of the length of the line segment.
  4. Repeat the process to point B. *REMEMBER USE THE SAME SIZE OF THE ARC USED ON POINT A!*
  5. With a ruler join the two are intersections with a straight line.




Way #2:
You will need the following...
  • Pencil
  • Right triangle
  • Paper
  • Ruler




  1. Draw a line segment. Lable the points AB
  2. Measure the line segment with a ruler.
  3. Devide the measure in half; that is now called the half way point.
  4. Use the right triangle to create a perpendicular line a the half way point.






Way #3:
You will need the following...
  • Pencil
  • Paper
  1. Draw a line segment. Lable the points EF.
  2. *Make sure you're in a well lit room.*
  3. Fold the paper so point A falls right on top of point B.
  4. This will make the crease a perpendicular bisector!

line segments

How to construct perpendicular line segments :

1. Use a ruler to draw a line segment AB
2. Place the edge of a right triangle on the line segment AB












How to construct parallel line segments :
1. use a ruler to draw line segment CD
2. use a right triangle to make a perpendicular line segment .
3.
slide the right triangle left or right along the line segment CD and draw another
perpendicular line segment lableled GH .

2.put brackets in the following expression to get the largest value possible.What problem solving strategy did you use? 3x2.8+6.4 ÷ 4
You can do it 2 ways:
(3x2.8)+6.4 ÷ 4
8.4+6.4 ÷4
8.4+ 1.6=
10
or
3x2.8+(6.4 ÷ 4)

Question 1 :

Annie has been asked to calculate 1.7 + 6/2 .

She claims the answer to be 3.85.

Do you agree ? Explain why or why not .


Answer :

Annie only got 3.85 because she didn't use BEDMASS.

She got the answer 3.85 this way :

1.7 + 6 = 7.7

7.7/2 = 3.85

The real answer should have been :

1.7+6/2

6/2 = 3

1.7 + 3 = 4.7


Question 2 :

Put the brackets in the following expression to get the largest value possible .

What problem solving strategy did you use ?


Answer :

I have put the brackets between in the question like this : ( 3 x 2.8 ) + 6.4/4 =

The answer would be 10 which is the largest value you can get !

I have used BEDMASS to solve this problem .


Question 3 :

Create a problem that could be solved using the following expression :

2.5 + 1.25 + 5 x 1.6


Answer :

John is selling pie for her class fundraiser.

One small pie is $ 2.5.

But if you buy 2 pies you can get them for $ 1.25.

And also john has a sign that says :

If you buy 3 pies you get them for $1.6.

Five people came and each got 3 pies each.

Annie has been asked to calculate 1.7 + 6 ÷ 2. She claims the answer is 3.85. Do you agree? Explain why or why not.

I don't agree because Annie added 1.7 + 6 first which would make the answer 7.7. She should have divided 6 and 2 then added 1.7 to make 4.7.

Answers for 3 Questions

1. Annie has been asked to calculate 1.7 + 6 / 2. She claims the answer is 3.85. Do you agree? Explain why or why not.

I don't agree because first you have to divide 6 into 2 which makes 3. Then you have to add 3 to 1.7 which makes 4.7.

2. Put brackets in the following expression to get the largest value possible. What problem strategy did you use? 3 x 2.8 + 6.4 / 4

I used: (3 x 2.8) + (6.4 / 4) = 10

3. Create a problem that could be solved using the following expression:
2.5 + 1.25 + 5 x 1.6

(2.5 + 1.25) + (5 x 1.6) = 11.75

BEDMAS

BEDMAS Is the sequence of operations that must be followed when solving a math sum with several different operations in it.



Brackets=( )

Exponents= a* or ^

Divisions = /

Multiplication=x

Addition=+

Subtraction=-



For eg:


Following the steps of BEDMAS
2x(4+8)/2-1=

1. Bracket..add (4+8)

2x(12/2)-1=
2. divide (12/2)

(2x6)-1
3. multiply(2x6)

12-1=11
4. subtract(12-1)




Here is some to practise:



3x(5+4)/3+3-4=

3x(9/3)+3-4=

(3x3)+3-4=

(9+3)-4=

12-4=8



4+(8/2)-4x2=

4+4-(4x2)=

(4+4)-8=

8-8=0



TIP: Insert a new bracket every time you are doing the next operation in the rule of BEDMAS.

1. Annie was asked to calculate 1.7 + 6÷2. She claims the answer is 3.85.
Do you agree?
Explain why or why not.

No, I do not agree with Annie because the first thing you had to do was divide 6 by 2, so the answer is 3.

1.7 + 3 = 4.7

Annie got the answer 3.85 by adding 1.7 to 6 to get 7.7, then divided 7.7 by 2 to get the answer 3.85.


2. Put brackets in the following expression to get the largest value possible.
What problem solving strategy did you use?

Annie has been asked to calculate 1.7+6÷2 she claims the is 3.85. Do you agree? Why or why not.

I don't think the answer is 3.85 because if you use bedmas the answer is 4.7 my proof:
1.7+6
÷2
6
÷2=3
1.7+3
4.7
She used a calculator so she put 1.7+6
÷2=3.85

Put brackets in the following expression to get the largest value possible .What problem solving strategy did you use?

3x2.8+6.4
÷4 i think the brackets go in between go the (6.4÷4) because when you do bedmas to answer it, it makes 10

    I don't agree because Annie calculated 1.7 + 6 first which would lead to the answer 7.7. She should have divided 6 and 2 then add 1.7 which will lead to the answer 4.7.
