We review measuration, with the focus on:

  • Areas of parallelogram and trapezium;
  • Volume and surface area of a prism;
  • Volume and surface area of a cylinder;
  • Volume and surface area of a pyramid;
  • Volume and surface area of a cone;
  • Volume and surface area of a sphere;
  • Length of an arc, area of a sector in a circle

We go over the application of vectors, particularly in geometry. Last week the substitute teacher did not get to go over this section.

Notice when vector AB = vector DC, it means line AB is parallel to line DC and AB = DC.

If you have not done your homework last week because you have some questions on certain problems, please do them now:

We continue our study of vectors.

We can simplify the position of a point P on a plane by the vector OP where O is a reference point on the plane. The vector OP is called the position vector of P with respect to the reference point O. That is, every point on the plane can be represented by its position vector wrt the reference point O.

Then vector PQ = vector OQ – vector OP.

Furthermore, when we look at the coordinate plane for a point P (x, y), we can use its coordinates x and y to represent its position vector with respect to the origin O. We introduce column vector notation. A column vector is like a special form of a matrix (2 rows, 1 column). All matrix operations apply to column vectors.

We can apply what we have learned about vectors to help us solve geometry problems.

Notice when vector AB = vector DC, it means line AB is parallel to line DC and AB = DC.
