Domain - Expressing Geometric Properties with Equations
Cluster - Use coordinates to prove simple geometric theorems algebraically.
[GEO.G-GPE.B.4] - Use coordinates to prove simple geometric theorems algebraically, including the distance formula and its relationship to the Pythagorean Theorem. For example, prove or disprove that a figure defined by four given points in the coordinate plane is a rectangle; prove or disprove that the point (1, √3) lies on the circle centered at the origin and containing the point (0, 2).
- Pythagorean Theorem
For any right triangle, the sum of the squares of the measures of the legs equals the square of the measure of the hypotenuse.
[AI.A-REI.C.7] -
Solve a simple system consisting of a linear equation and a quadratic equation in two variables algebraically and graphically. For example, find the points of intersection between the line y = –3x and the circle x2 + y2 = 3.
[GEO.G-GPE.A.1] -
Derive the equation of a circle of given center and radius using the Pythagorean Theorem; complete the square to find the center and radius of a circle given by an equation.
[GEO.G-MG.A.1] -
Use geometric shapes, their measures, and their properties to describe objects (e.g., modeling a tree trunk or a human torso as a cylinder).*
