ACP Topics to review
The ACP Test is closed notes! Before you take the Test this week, be sure to review the following topics:
1. Make conjectures - remember when we describe what we see. Be sure to know these words and what they look like: point, line, plane, skew lines, collinear, coplanar, supplemental, linear pair, vertical lines, complementary, segment.
2. Constructions - what they look like, the order to make them, and what they do. Remember the angle bisector, segment bisector, copying angles, copying line segments, constructing perpendiculars on and off the line.
3. Patterns - how to get the equation that describes the pattern. We did this in class last Thursday and Friday.
4. Slopes and equations of lines. Look at this blog's entries on this topic. Make sure you can calculate slope, find equations of parallel and perpendicular lines.
5. Use the formulas for slope, midpoint, distance. Remember that if you get asked for length, you need to use the distance formula! And if you get a perimeter question, that you need to calculate the distance of each side and then add them up.
6. Transversal relationships - remember the corresponding angles, alternate interior angles, alternate exterior angles, consecutive interior angles, and consecutive exterior angles.
7. Triangle congruence - be sure to be able to determine which one is used: SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS.
8. Transformations - remember to multiply when you see the word "scale factor"
9. Similarity - use those proportions and ratios!
10. Proofs. Review that proofs packet.

Review on Conditional Statements
Be sure to know your conditional statements!
Each sentence can be re-written in "If __(hypothesis)_____, then ___(conclusion)_________" form.
Let's look at this sentence: "Scoring more than 70% on the test will let you pass"
First, identify the conclusion: "you pass"
Then identify the hypothesis: "scoring more than 70% on the test"
Next, put them into an If-Then statement: "If scoring more than 70% on the test Then you pass"
Note that this sentence doesn't make sense, nor does it have good English grammar. So we change and add some words for it to makes sense. Here's what it becomes:
Inverse Statement:
Each sentence can be re-written in "If __(hypothesis)_____, then ___(conclusion)_________" form.
Let's look at this sentence: "Scoring more than 70% on the test will let you pass"
First, identify the conclusion: "you pass"
Then identify the hypothesis: "scoring more than 70% on the test"
Next, put them into an If-Then statement: "If scoring more than 70% on the test Then you pass"
Note that this sentence doesn't make sense, nor does it have good English grammar. So we change and add some words for it to makes sense. Here's what it becomes:
"If you score more than 70% on the test, then you will pass."
This If-Then statement is called the Conditional Statement. We can rearrange the hypothesis and conclusion as well as negate them to have the 4 types of Logic statements in Geometry.
Conditional:
"If you score more than 70% on the test, then you will pass."
Inverse Statement:
"If you do NOT score more than 70% on the test, then you will NOT pass." <--- notice the addition of the word NOT, meaning they got negated.
Converse Statement:
"If you will pass, then you score more than 70% on the test." <--- notice the hypothesis and conclusion got swapped.
Contrapositive Statement"
"If you will NOT pass, then you will NOT score more than 70% on the test." <-- notice that the hypothesis and conclusion got swapped AND each part got negated by using the word NOT.
Be sure you can remember which is which.
Review of Parallel Lines Equations
Now you try:
Find an equation of the line that passes through (–1, –3) and is parallel
to y = 2x + 6.

8. Conditional Statements
For September 9th class
8. CONDITIONAL STATEMENTS
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LO: SWBAT will determine the validity of a conditional statement, its converse, inverse
and contrapositive.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Textbook Chapter 2-3, starting from page 91)
1. Conditional Statements
To change a statement to an If-Then statement is to make a conditional statement.
Let's look at the statement: "Rain means it's cloudy."
Changing this to a conditional means identifying the hypothesis and conclusion then adding the if-then words to it like this:
The "if" is always followed by the hypothesis and the "then" is always followed by the conclusion.
Now you try. Rewrite these advertisements into If-Then forms:
2. Converse, Inverse, and Contrapositive
Other statements based on the conditional statements are Converse, Inverse and Contrapositive. They are formed by exchanging and negating the hypothesis and conclusion of the conditional statements in various ways.
Notice that the symbols for the Conditional Statement reads as "p to q".
Now you try: using the same conditionals from the advertisements from section 1 above, write each one's converse, inverse and contrapositive.
3. Counterexample
A Counterexample is a true example to prove a statement false.
For example:
Statement: "If it has four right angles, then it's a square"
This is a false statement. We then give the counterexample: A rectangle.
The counterexample proves that the statement was false.
Now you try: for each false statement from #2 above, provide a counterexample.
4. Biconditional Statements
A conjunction of two statements where both the conditional and its converse are true is called biconditional.

7. Logical Reasoning
7. LOGICAL REASONING
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LO: SWBAT use logical reasoning to prove statements are true and find counterexamples to disprove statements that are false.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before we start, let's look at the format we will be using:
1. NEGATION
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LO: SWBAT use logical reasoning to prove statements are true and find counterexamples to disprove statements that are false.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before we start, let's look at the format we will be using:
- Lower case letters will be used to name a statement.
1. NEGATION
Negation is changing the truth value of a statement to its opposite value. We designate the negated value with the symbol "~".
Example Statement:
p: Austin is the capital city of Texas. The truth value of this statement is True.
~p: Austin is NOT the capital city of Texas. The truth value is now False.
Again, the ~p statement is the negated statement.
2. CONJUNCTION
A conjunction is a compound statement formed by joining two or more statements with the word and. We then use the statements to write a compound statement. (Compound just means mixing two things together in one).
p: Parallel lines have the same slopes
q: Vertical angles are congruent
r: The expression -5x + 11x simplifies to -6x
To write the compound statement, we use the symbol ∧.
So now we write our compound statements:
- p∧q (read as "p and q"): Parallel lines have the same slope and vertical angles are congruent.
- ~p ∧ ~q (read as "not p and not q"): Parallel lines DOES NOT have the same slope and vertical lines are NOT congruent.
- ~q ∧ r (read as "not q and r"): Vertical angles are NOT congruent and the expression -5x + 11x simplifies to -6x.
3. DISJUNCTION
A disjunction is a compound statement formed by joining two or more statements with the word or. We then use the statements to write a compound statement.
Let's use the same statements from above
p: Parallel lines have the same slopes
q: Vertical angles are congruent
r: The expression -5x + 11x simplifies to -6x
To write the compound statement, we use the symbol ˅ .
So now we write our compound statements:
So now we write our compound statements:
- p ˅ q (read as "p or q"): Parallel lines have the same slope or vertical angles are congruent.
- ~p ˅ ~q (read as "not p or not q"): Parallel lines DOES NOT have the same slope or vertical lines are NOT congruent.
- ~q ˅ r (read as "not q or r"): Vertical angles are NOT congruent or the expression -5x + 11x simplifies to -6x.
Note that the statements are identical except they are now joined by the word "OR" instead of "AND".
4. TRUTH TABLES
We will fill in this table in class and discuss it.
5. VENN Diagrams
We will examine the Venn Diagram and interpret data from it.
