Math Flashcards
angles
360˚ in a circle a straight line measures 180˚ an obtuse angle must be greater than 90˚ a right angle is 90˚ an acute angle must be less than 90˚ angles that have the same measure are congruent
average / mean
a series of #s that are added together and then divided by the number of #s in the series
3, 6, 12, 26, 13 = 12 (60 / 5)
circles
Radius is the length from the center of the circle to the edge of the circle
Diameter is 2 x the Radius (2r)
Circumference is 2πr (π = 3.14)
Area is πr2
cubes
volume = side3 (s3)
distance
12 inches = 1 foot 3 feet = 1 yard 1,760 yards or 5,280 feet = 1 mile 10 millimeters = 1 centimeter 10 centimeters = 1 decimeter 100 centimeters = 1 meter 1,000 meters = 1 kilometer
median
the middle # (or #s) in a series of numbers
3, 7, 14, 17, 36
6, 9, 11, 17, 21, 33, 45, 71

parallelograms
4 sides, 2 acute angles, 2 obtuse angles, opposite sides are equal and parallelPerimeter is 2L + 2W
Area is Base x Height
percent
a number expressed based on how much of 100 it is35% (35 out of every 100)
13/25 = 52%
Pythagorean theorem
the length of the side of a right triangle that is opposite its 90˚ angle (line c) is line a2 + line b2 = line c2
a2 + b2 = c2
ratio
an amount/number expressed as a relationship between two other numbers
1:5 (one out of five)
rectangles
4 sides, 4 right angles, opposite sides are equal
Perimeter is 2L + 2W
Area is L x W
reduced fraction
a fraction that cannot be further divided to yield a ‘lower’ expression
ex. 3/15 —- 1/5
squares
4 equal sides, 4 right angles
Perimeter is 4S
Area is S2
