Description: This course will introduce terms, postulates, and theorems as they are applied in the study of Euclidean Geometry. Applications and justifications of those theorems will follow a detailed investigation of inductive and deductive reasoning. Coordinate geometry will be used throughout the course to solve problems and complete proofs. The geometric relationships between angles, perpendicular and parallel lines, congruent and similar polygons, and circles will be explored and defined. The trigonometric ratios are defined and then used to solve problems involving right triangles. Nets and isometric, orthogonal, and foundational drawings are used to enhance students' understanding of three-dimensional figures. |
