Activity 5.1 Calculating Properties Shapes
In Activity 5.1, we learned about geometric shapes and the area of said geometric shapes. After taking notes on this topic, we proceeded to do practice activities based on our notes. The main geometric shapes of which we learned about along with their areas are the circle, the ellipse, the triangle, the parallelogram, and the regular polygon. This list of geometric shapes that we learned about also includes different types of angles.
Conclusion Questions
1. What is the difference between a circle and an ellipse? The difference between a circle and an ellipse is that a circle has a perfectly round shape whereas an ellipse has a more oval shape than a circle does and ellipses have a major and minor axis instead of a diameter.
2. What is the difference between an inscribed and a circumscribed shape? The difference between an inscribed and a circumscribed shape is that an inscribed shape is made inside a circle with the points of it touching the circle whereas a circumscribed shape is made outside of a circle with the sides of it touching the circle.
3. Why is it impossible for a triangle to contain a 180° angle? It is impossible for a triangle to contain a 180 degree angle because the sum of the three interior angles of a triangle are 180 degrees so if a triangle had one 180 degree angle then it would only contain that 180 degree angle and wouldn't be a triangle anymore.
4. How is a rhombus similar to a square? A rhombus is similar to a square because it has four sides and opposite, parallel sides are of equal length.
5. What is the difference between a right, acute, and obtuse triangle? The difference between a right, acute, and obtuse triangle is that a right triangle has 1 interior right angle, an acute triangle has all interior acute angles, and an obtuse triangle has one interior obtuse angle.
