End of the Year Work in Geometry and Personal Finance!

This was our chart from a discussion we had based on Purchasing a Home. 

In Geometry, we talked about CPCTC (corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent). We can find an example of CPCTC in an equilateral octagon. There sides that are parallel, sides that are equal. The octagon (as drawn) looks like a bike with spokes. All of the spokes are congruent. The triangles are isosceles. We also found the value of

After the Quiz .... CPCTC.

Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent. Watch this video ...



What six statements are important to prove CPCTC ?

Finding Equations that are Parallel and/or Perpendicular ... You Need To Know Slope!

Last Week and This Week in Geometry!

Last week, we discussed RCAT, RSSIAT, RAIAT and RAEAT. We also discussed perpendicular bisectors. Here are some pictures and a video of what we did:

Can you solve this proof?

This Week in Personal Business and Finance!

Here is a video talking the basics of auto insurance. This is important in this state; Michigan is a state that requires auto insurance .. or you could be arrested for driving without one.
