We will be having a quiz on Chapter 4 on Tuesday, March 6

Please review your notes and the formulas plus any Quizlets to prepare for the Quiz.

Quiz on Circumference, Radius, Diameter , Area of a Parallelogram and Area of a Triangle as well as
4.5 Area of a Circle

     Aire d’un Cercle  =   π  ×  r  ×  r           et r = radius
                 ou       Aire  =  π r ²

Section 4,6  Interpréter un diagramme Circulaire

Students need to know the formulas as well as Pi (3.14)

Please study your notes to prepare for the quiz. I have created a Quizlet to review this information:

Section 4,7: Construire un diagramme circulaire  et Tracer un diagramme circulaire sans mesures donnés.

Here is a Quizlet to review terms from section 4.6 and 4.7http://quizlet.com/10331409/math-lfi-sections-46-et-47-flash-cards/

1) La distance du centre du cercle  à un point sur le cercle est le rayon. (Symbole pour rayon est r)

2) Une droite la plus longue qui passe par le centre d’un cercle est le diamètre. (symbole pour diamètre est d).    

3) Un cercle complet mesure 360⁰ – on mesure des angles en dégrés 

4) Si   d = 2r   puis   r = d ÷ 2    ou r =  d              

                                                           2

5) La distance autour d’un cercle est la circonférence.  C’est le périmètre d’un cercle.  

    On peut trouver La circonférence, C, de n’importe quel cercle avec  

     C  =  π  ×  d      ou        C =  π d

6) Le symbole, π, est une lettre grecque qui se prononce  “pi”.  Cela représente le nombre 3,141592653589… 

*  C’est un nombre irrationnel parce que c’est un nombre décimal qui ne se répète jamais et qui ne se finit jamais. Nous estimations  π  =  3,14

7) Puisque le diamètre =  2 × rayon, on peut aussi utiliser l’équation suivante pour trouver la circonférence:   C  =  π  ×  2r   ou     C  =  2 π r

8) Parallélogramme = un quadrilatère (à 4 côtés) où les côtés opposés sont parallèles.   

9) L’Aire d’un Parallélogramme = base × hauteur 

                                    A = b × h     ou       A = bh

10) La hauteur et le base d’un parallélogramme sont perpendiculaires à 90⁰.

11) Chaque triangle est   1  l’aire d’un parallélogramme 

                                    2

12) l’Aire d’un Triangle 

                                 A =   b×h
                                            2           

13) Comme un parallélogramme, le base et la hauteur du triangle doit être perpendiculaire et l’aire aux unités carrés. ex: 78,5 cm²
