Types of Angles

Complementary Angles
1) What do you notice about the two angles when you slide the two sliders? What do complementary angles add up to?
Supplementary Angles
2) What do you notice about these two angles? What do supplementary angles add up to?

Vertical Angles
Vertical angles are angles that are across from each other when two lines intersect.[br][br]6) What do you notice about the angle measures of vertical angles?[br]
Transversal
A [u]transversal[/u] is a line that intersects two parallel lines.[br][br]7) First check the "Show Corresponding Angles" box. What do you notice as you slide the first slider? Corresponding angles are in the SAME SPOT on different parallel lines. On your paper write, "Corresponding angles are in the same spot on different parallel lines."[br][br]8) Now, check the "Show Alternate Interior Angles" box. What do you notice as you slide the first slider? Alternate Interior Angles show the opposite angles on the inside of parallel lines. They have the same angle measure. On your paper, write how you will remember Alternate Interior Angles.[br][br]9) Lastly, check the "Show Alternate Exterior Angles" box. What do you notice as you slide the first slider? Alternate Exterior Angles show the opposite angles on the outside of the parallel lines. They have the same angle measure. On your paper, write how you will remember the difference between Alternate Interior Angles and Alternate Exterior Angles.[br][br]
Example!
Now that you have notes on the different types of angles made by a transversal, find the missing angle measures.

Area of a Rectangle

In this worksheet you will investigate the area of a rectangle.
Investigation:[br][br]1) Move the sliders Base and Height and describe what happens to the image.[br][br] 2) What relationship does the number of squares have with the area of the rectangle?[br][br] 3) Is there a way to find the number of square with out counting them?[br][br] 4) What conjecture can you make about the formula for area of a rectangle?

Surface Area: Introductory Exercises

Take a few minutes to interact with the rectangular prism shown here. After doing so, create one that has a length = 4 units, width = 5 units, and height = 3 units.
How many square units (i.e. "squares") appear on 1 [b][color=#ff00ff]pink face[/color][/b]? [br]How many square units (i.e. "squares") appear on 1 [b][color=#bf9000]gold face[/color][/b]? [br]How many square units (i.e. "squares") appear on 1 [b]white face[/b]?
Use your answers for (1) to determine the TOTAL SURFACE AREA of this rectangular prism. [br]That is, how many square units, or squares, cover the ENTIRE SURFACE of this rectangular prism?
Now create a rectangular prism that has a length = 8 units, width = 3 units, and height = 5 units.
How many square units (i.e. "squares") appear on 1 [b][color=#ff00ff]pink face[/color][/b]? [br]How many square units (i.e. "squares") appear on 1 [b][color=#bf9000]gold face[/color][/b]? [br]How many square units (i.e. "squares") appear on 1 [b]white face[/b]?
Use your answers for (3) to determine the TOTAL SURFACE AREA of this rectangular prism. [br]That is, how many square units, or squares, cover the ENTIRE SURFACE of this rectangular prism?
Overall, how we can determine the total surface area (number of squares) that cover the entire surface of a rectangular prism? Describe.

Volumes of Rectangular Prisms

Explore.
Practise
What happens to the volume when you double the height?
