c = b = g = f
a = d, e = h, c = b, and g = f because they are vertical angles.
d = e and c = f because they are opposite interior angles.
a = e, d = h, c = g and b = f because they are corresponding angles.
Now you're ready to tackle any geometry questions asking about parallel angles and lines.

Directions: Use your computer and projector to launch the Vec-->Touring web site. Use the projector to show the students how to use the controls using an easy example. Point out the controls on the left including the volume adjustment (very handy). The controls for entering vectors are a little strange. For example, to... | 677.169 | 1 |
Given any parallelogram, construct on its sides four squares external to the parallelogram. The quadrilateral formed by joining the centers of those four squares is a square.

What is a Composite Figure?
Note:
Ever notice that some figures look like a combination of multiple other figures? These types of figures are called composite figures. This tutorial introduces you to composite figures and shows you how to break up a composite figure into multiple shapes. Take a look!

Euclidean geometry, the study of plane and solid figures on the basis of axioms and theorems employed by the Greek mathematician Euclid (c. 300 bce). In its rough outline, Euclidean geometry is the plane and solid geometry commonly taught in secondary schools. Indeed, until the second half of the 19th century, when non... | 677.169 | 1 |
The fifth axiom became known as the "parallel postulate," since it provided a basis for the uniqueness of parallel lines. (It also attracted great interest because it seemed less intuitive or self-evident than the others. In the 19th century, Carl Friedrich Gauss, János Bolyai, and Nikolay Lobachevsky all began to expe... | 677.169 | 1 |
The angles being: obtuse (bigger than 90 degrees), accute (smaller than 90 degrees), and right (90 degrees exactly). The triangles being equilateral (all 3 sides are equal in length), isosceles (2 sides are equal in length), and scalene (no sides equal in length). We also covered right triangles…the special kind of pol... | 677.169 | 1 |
The Modern Day High School Geometry Course: A Lesson in Illogic

Conic Sections
Conics or conic sections are the curves corresponding to various plane sections of a right circular cone by cutting that cone in different ways.
Each point lying on these curves satisfies a special condition, which actually leads us towards the mathematical definition of conic sections.

With this virtual manipulative, students arrange sides and angles to construct congruent triangles. They drag line segments and angles to form triangles and flip the triangles as needed to show congruence.
