A quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides. Opposite sides are equal in length: opposite angles are equal and measure: angles that are not opposite are supplementary to each other.

33
Q

Rhombus

A

34
Q

Circle

A

The set of all points in a plane at the same distance from a certain point, the center. A circle is labeled by it’s Center point.

35
Q

Central angle

A

An angle formed by two radii of a circle

36
Q

Chord

A

A line segment that joins two points on a circle. The longest is the diameter.

37
Q

Tangent line

A

A line that touches only one point on the circumference of a circle. It is perpendicular to the radius at the point of tangency.

38
Q

Pi

A

The ratio of the circumference of the circle to its diameter. C/d=3.14

39
Q

Arc

A

Is section of the circumference of a circle; the portion of a circle cut off by a particular central angle.
Degree of arc=measure of central angle

40
Q

Arc length

A

Same as the fraction of the arc’s measure multiplied by the circumference

=(arc n)°/360° x 2 pi r

41
Q

Sector of a circle

A

A portion of a circle’s area that is bound by two radii and an arc

42
Q

Area of a sector

A

(Measure of central angle)°/360° x pi.r^2

43
Q

Inscribed

A

Polygon inside a circle such that all the vertices of the polygon lie on the circle.

44
Q

Circumscribed

A

A circle in a polygon such that all sides of the polygon are tangent to the circle.

45
Q

The formula for number of different subgroups containing k different objects that can be selected from a group of n different objects (nCk)

A

nCk=n!/{k!(n-k)!}

n is positive
k is non-negative

0!=1

46
Q

Laws of exponents

A
  1. (a^x)^y=a^xy

Small group from a large group (order does not matter)

nCk=n!/{k!(n-k)!}

n is positive
k is non-negative

0!=1
