    Parallel Lines and Polygons, Quadrilaterals

    • Apply the properties of parallelograms.
    • Use the properties of special quadrilaterals (e.g., parallelogram, rectangles, squares, rhombus, and kite).
    • Examine the properties of trapezoids.
    • Identify different types of polygons and their components.
    • Define parallel lines, transversals, and angles.
    • Describe the characteristics of a quadrilateral.

    Review

    • Review topics and objectives from all weeks.

    Similar Polygons and the Pythagorean Theorem

    • Define ratio, proportion, and proportional segments.
    • Apply the postulates and theorems of similar polygons.
    • Construct proportional segments of polygons.
    • Demonstrate the applications of the Pythagorean Theorem.

    Circles

    • Define a circle and related terms (e.g., arcs, semi-circles, inscribed angles).
    • Describe the theorems of chords and secants of circles.
    • Construct a tangent to a circle and measure angles formed by tangents.

    Areas of Polygons and Circles

    • Determine areas of quadrilaterals.
    • Calculate circumference and area of circles.
    • Identify area and arc length of a sector.
    • Apply the area formula to regular polygons.

    Foundations of Geometry, Triangles

    • Define deductive or inductive reasoning and proofs, and axiomatic systems.
    • Identify points, lines, and planes.
    • Describe segments, rays, and angles.
    • Formulate geometric proofs.
    • Classify triangles by their sides and by their angles.
    • Prove how triangles are congruent using geometric theorems.
    • Construct a triangle congruent to a given triangle.
    • Use congruent and right triangles to prove statements and theorems.
