7.1 Problem: In a plane, three points A, B, and C are collinear. How many lines can be drawn that
pass through point A and are parallel to line BC?
A B C
Ans. None.
If three points are collinear, we can draw or form one line. If a line will be drawn that passes
through point A, we can make many lines but it is not possible that it will be parallel to BC.
7.2 The perimeter of a rectangular garden is 36 meters and its length is twice its width. Find the
dimension of the garden.
Given:
Perimeter : 36 m
Length = 2 x width or L= 2W
Recall the formula in finding the perimeter of a rectangle.
P = L+L+W+W
= 2L+ 2W
36m = 2 (2W) + 2W substitute the give
36m = 4W+ 2W
36m = 6W
36m = 6W
6 6
W= 6 m
Substitute the value of or width in L= 2W to get the value of our length
L= 2 ( 6 m)
L = 12 m
Therefore the dimension of the garden is 12 m in its length and 6 m in its width.
To get the area of the rectangular garden recall the formula of finding the area of a rectangle.
We have, A= L x W
Substitute the value of the length and width,
A= 12 m x 6 m
A= 72m2
7.3 Triangle ABC is an equilateral triangle with side length 12 cm. Point D is the midpoint
of side AB. If the length of segment CD is 4 cm, find the area of triangle ABC.
B
D 12 cm
4cm
C
We are required to get the area of the triangle ABC.
From the given, since it is an equilateral triangle so, all the sides measure 12 cm.
Recall the formula in finding the area of a triangle,
A= ½ bh
= 1/2( 12cm)( 4cm) substitute the given to the formula
= 24 cm2
7.4 A cylindrical tank has a height of 10 meters and a diameter of 6 meters. Find the volume
and the surface area of the tank.
d= 6 m
h= 10 m
Given :
d= 6 m; since r is half of the diameter we have, r= 3 m
h = 10m
Recall the formula in finding the volume of the cylinder.
Volume = π r2h
= π ( 3m)2(10m) substitute the given to formula
= π ( 9m2) (10m
= π (90m3) multiply
≈ 282.6 m3 approximate volume ( since we just round of the value of our π ,
π isinfinite )
Surface area of a cylinder
Recall the formula
A= 2 π rh + 2 π r2
= 2 π (3 cm)(10cm) + 2 π (3cm)2 substitute the given to the formula
= π ( 60 cm2)+ 2 π (9cm2)
= π (60 cm2) + π (18 cm2)
= π (78cm2)
≈ 244.92 cm2
7.5 In a right triangle, the length of one leg is 4 cm, and the hypotenuse is 10 cm. Find the
measure of each acute angle in degrees.
B
10 cm
A 4 cm C
cos C= adj/ hyp
cos C = 4/10 - substitute the given to the formula
cos C= 2/5 -lowest term of 4/10
C= cos-1( 2/5) - solve for C
C= 66.4o
sin B = opp/adj
sin B = 4/10 - substitute the given to the formula
sin B = 2/5 - lowest term of 4/10
B= sin-1 ( 2.5) - solve for B
B= 23.59o -
7.6 Research and compare the characteristics and properties of Euclidean geometry and
non-Euclidean geometry. Present a real-world application where non-Euclidean geometry is
used.
Euclidean geometry is the study of geometrical figures and shapes (plane and solid) as
well as their properties. It follows the basic concepts of flat space, straight lines, angles,
squares, and other geometric figures which is why it is also known as “plane geometry”.
It examines the properties and relationships of everything. It depends on a series of
assumptions which are known as axioms.
On the other hand, non-Euclidean geometry encompasses geometries that are in
contradiction to the axioms defined by Euclid. Non-Euclidean geometry can be broken
down into two basic categories: spherical geometry and hyperbolic geometry. In
contrast to hyperbolic geometry, spherical geometry is based on the principles of
positively curved space, such as the surface of a sphere, while hyperbolic geometry is
based on the principles of negatively curved space.
An example of a real-world application of non-Euclidean geometry is provided by the
curved flight routes that are followed by airplanes when they are in the air.
When traveling lengthy distances between two points on Earth’s surface, aircraft
frequently follow great circle routes. In spherical geometry, a great circle is the shortest
path between two locations on a sphere and represents a geodesic.
7.7 Investigate and create your own fractal using recursion. Explain the process and
properties of your fractal, including its self-similarity and complexity.
This is a Sierpinski triangle. It develops by removing in a recursive manner the triangle
in the center of an equilateral triangle that is generated by joining the points in the
middle of its sides. When this method is carried out repeatedly, an infinite number of
triangles are produced.
