Topic : Geometry- plane shapes
Contents:
 Perimeter of a regular polygon
 Perimeter of a square
 Perimeter of a rectangle
 Perimeter of a triangle
 Perimeter of a trapezium
 Perimeter of a parallelogram
 Perimeter of a circle

MEASURING PERIMETERS
Perimeter is the outside boundary or edge of a plane shape. For example, the boundary fence of your school compound is its perimeter. We also use the word perimeter to mean the length of the boundary. For example , if you take 200 paces to walk your school boundary, you could say its perimeter is 200 paces.

PERIMETER OF A REGULAR POLYGON
The simplest way to find a perimeter of any regular shape is to measure it directly with a ruler. Or tape measure.
Examples;
Find, in cm the perimeter of the regular hexagon ABCDEF in Fig. 1.0.

Image

Length of side AB = 1.6 cm.
There are 6 equal sides, so
Perimeter = 6 × 1.6cm
=9.6 cm
If a shape has a curved side, use a piece of thread to get the shape of the curve. Make the thread to get the shape of the curve. Make the thread straight and measure its length against a ruler.

2. Measure the Perimeter of the shape in the fig below.
Image
Straight edges: AB = 14 mm =1.4 cm

BC =14 mm =1.4 cm
Curved edge: CA =22mm approximately
=2.2cm
Perimeter (total = 50 mm approximately
= 5.0 cm

Evaluation:
Draw and Use a ruler to measure the perimeters of the shape illustrated above. Give your answer in cm.
(a)
Image

Straight edges : AB = 14 mm = 1.4 cm
BC = 14mm = 1.4 cm
Curved edge : CA = 22 mm approximately
= 2.2 cm
Perimeter (total ) = 50 mm approximately
= 5.0 cm

Image


PERIMETER OF A SQUARE
A square is a regular four- sided shape. If the length of one side of a square is l, then,
Perimeter of square = l × 4
= 4l
As perimeter of square =4l,
Length of side of square = perimeter of square
4
Example ;
(1) Calculate the perimeter of a square of side 12.3cm.
Solution
Perimeter = 12.3cm × 4
Perimeter = 49.2 cm
(2) A square assembly area has a perimeter of 56m. Find the length of the assembly area.
Solution
Length = 56
4
= 14m.
Note: The formulae for perimeters of rectangles and squares can be useful. However, if you find it difficult to remember formulae, always sketch the given shape and work from that.

Image


PERIMETER OF RECTANGLES
The longer side of a rectangle is called length , and the shorter side is calledbreadth . We use the letter l and b to stand for the length and the breath.

Image

perimeter of rectangle = l + b + l + b This formular can be use to
= (l + b) + (l + b) calculate the perimeter of
= 2 × (l + b) rectangle.
= 2(l + b)

Image

Example
Calculate the perimeter of a football field which measures 80m by 50m.
Solution
Perimeter of field = 2(l+ b)
= 2 × (80 + 50) m
= 2 × 130m
= 260m.

(3) A rectangular piece of land measures 57 m by 42m. What is the perimeter of the perimeter of the land ?
Perimeter of land = 2(l+ b)
= 2(57+ 45)m
= 2× 99m
= 198m.


AREA OF A TRIANGLES
Any diagonal of a rectangle divided it into two equal right- angled triangles. Image


Image

Thus :
Area of a right – angled triangle
= ½ × product of sides containing the right angle.
Area of triangle = ½ × base × height.

Example:
Calculate the area of the triangle shown below;


Image


The two sides containing the right angle measure 9 cm and 12cm.
Area of triangle = ½ × 9cm × 12cm
= 54cm2

(2) calculate the area of the triangle with height 5cm, base 8cm and hypotenuse 7cm.
The height is 5cm. The corresponding base is 8cm. We do not need the 7 cm side.
Solution:
Area of triangle = ½ ×base × height
= ½ × 8cm × 5cm
= 20cm2

Evaluation:

Exercise 14d 1(a) –(d) page 120.


AREA OF A TRAPEZIUMS:
Image

ABCD is a trapezium in which AB is parallel to DC. The diagonal AD divides the trapezium into two triangles. The height, h, is the same for both triangles.
area of trapezium ABCD
= area of ABD + area of BDC
½ AB × h + ½ DC × h
= ½ (AB + DC)h

Example:
Calculate the area of the trapezium ABCD in figure below;
The diagonal AC divides the trapezium into two triangles. The height of each triangle is 8 cm.
Area of ACB = ½ × 13cm × 8cm =52cm2
Area of ACD = ½ × 6cm × 8cm = 24cm2
Area of trapezium = 52cm2 + 24cm2 =76cm2

Evaluation:

Exercise : 14d no’s: 2(a) – (d).

Area of parallelograms
A parallelogram can have two bases and two corresponding heights as show below;
Image

Area (A) = base (1) × height (1)
Also area (A) =base(2) × height (2)
Therefore base (1) × height (2) × height (2)

Example:
Calculate the area of the paralellograms below. All dimensions are in centimeters.

base = 5
height = 7
(a) Area of parallelogram = base × height
= 7cm × 5 cm
= 35cm

base = 5
height = 3
(b) Area of parallelogram = base × height
= 5cm × 3cm
= 15cm.

Basic properties of cubes and cuboids
Image

The cuboid is one of the most common manufactured solids. All solids have surfaces, or faces. Most solids also also have edges

A face may be flat (plane) or curved. A cuboid has 6 plane faces. Face is in the shape of a rectangle.

Image

An edge is a line where two faces meet. it may be straight or curved. A cuboid has straight edges.

A vertex is a point or corner where three or more edges meet. The plural of vertex is vertices. A cuboid has 8 vertices.

Students should make a cuboid using a cardboard paper.


Cubes
A cube is a cuboid in which all six faces are squares.

TOPIC: Properties of Solid Shapes – Volume of cubes and cuboids
CONTENT:
3 – Dimensional shapes
Properties of solid shapes – cubes and cuboids
Volume of cubes and cuboids

3 – DIMENSIONAL SHAPES
Solid figures are often called 3 – dimensional shapes or 3 – D shapes. A solid figure is simply anything that occupies space and also has a definite shape. Most solids, or 3 – D shapes, such as stones and trees, have rough and irregular shapes. However, some solids, such as boxes, tins, football, etc. have regular shapes. These are often called geometrical solids.

Image

PROPERTIES OF SOLID SHAPES – CUBES AND CUBOIDS
A cube is a special cuboid which has all its edges equal in length (i.e all sides are equal). it has six square faces. Examples are: a cube of sugar, maggi cube, dice, etc.
Image
Image

A cuboid is a solid shape with 6 rectangular faces. It also has 12 edges and 8 vertices. Examples are matchbox, carton, box of chalks, books, etc.
Image


VOLUME OF CUBES AND CUBOIDS.
The volume of a solid is a measure of the amount of space it occupies. A solid object is called a 3 - dimensional object. The cube is used as the basic shape to estimate the volume of a solid. therefore, volume is measured in cubic units.

CUBES
If one edge of a cube is S unit long, then
Volume of a cube = side x side x side
i.e V = s x s x s
= S3

WORKED EXAMPLES
Calculate the volume of a cube of an edge 4cm.
Solution
Volume of a cube = length x height x width
= s x s x s
= 4 x 4 x 4
= 64cm3

NOTE: The above formula can be used to find the edge of a cube when the volume is given.
S3 = V
S = ∛V
e.g. A cube of volume of 27cm3 has an edge of
s = ∛s=∛27=∛(3 x 3 x 3) = 3cm

A container in the shape of a cube is used to store a liquid. One edge of the container is 25cm long. The depth of the liquid in the container is 15cm as shown in the diagram below.
calculate the volume of liquid in the container
calculate the volume of the container not filled with liquid.

Solution
Base area of the container = 25 x 25
= 625cm2
Depth of liquid in the container = 15cm
Volume of liquid in the container = 625 x 15 = 9375cm3
Volume of the cube = S3 = 25 x 25 x 25
= 15 625cm3
Volume of the container not filled liquid
= 15 625 – 9 375
= 6 250cm3

Image


CUBOIDS
A cuboid is also called a rectangular prism. It has length, width (breadth) and height (thickness).
The volume of a cuboid = length x breadth x height
V = l x b x h
The volume of the above solid is
V = 6 x 4 x 2 = 48cm3
Note: In the above formula, l x b = A. Where A = base area of the cuboid.
Hence: Volume of a cuboid = Area of base x height
= Area of any face x thickness of the face.


WORKED EXAMPLES
A box has a square base of side 9cm. Calculate the volume of the box if it is 10cm deep.
Solution
Volume of the box = Area of Square base x depth of the box
Area of Square base = 9cm x 9cm
= 81cm2
Volume of the box = 81 x 10
= 810cm3
A cuboid is 12cm long and 8cm wide as shown in the diagram below. If the volume of cuboid is 624cm3, find the height of the cuboid.


v = 624cm3
h


8cm
12cm

Solution
length x width x height = volume
i.e l x w x h = V
Substituting V =624cm3, l = 12cm and w = 8cm
12 x 8 x h = 624
96h = 624
h = 624/96 = 6.5cm
Hence, the height of the cuboid = 6.5cm.

Image

EVALUATION:
A book measures 18cm by 12cm by 3cm. Calculate its volume.
The volume of a cube is given as 512cm3
What is the length of one edge of the cube?
How many small cubes of edge 2cm can be placed together to make this cube?
The base of a cuboid has one side equal to 10cm, and the other side is 5cm longer. If the height of the cuboid is 7cm, find the volume of the cuboid.
Calculate the volume of air in a dormitory 10cm long, 5m wide and 3m high.

TOPIC:
Angles: Identification and properties of angles – vertically opposite angles, adjacent angles, alternate angles, corresponding angles.
CONTENTS
(i). Identification of angles.
(ii). Properties of angles.
Identification of angles:
When two lines meet at a point, they form an angle. An angle is defined as the amount that one line turns through to meet the other line.
Image

Image

The point B where two lines AB and CB meet is called the vertex. Lines AB and BC are called the arms of the angle. If the direction (turning) of a line is same as the direction of a clock then such rotation is called clockwise rotation. If the direction is in the opposite direction it is called as anti-clockwise or counter -clockwise rotation. In the drawing above, the angle at point B can be expressed as A(BC) ̂ or
B ̂ or ‹ABC or ‹CBA. (teacher to explain these notations ).

(ii). Properties of angles.
Definitions:
Any line drawn across set of parallel lines is referred to as a transversal.
Angles are said to be supplementary if their sum gives two right angles (〖180〗^0 )
Angles are said to be complementary if their sum gives one right angle (〖90〗^0 ).
When a transversal cuts across a set of parallel lines we have the following three principles or
laws of angles in display: Corresponding angles, Alternate angles, Co-Interior or Allied angles.
Notes: Corresponding angles are equal. Alternate angles are equal, but Co-interior or allied
angles are supplementary. These three laws require parallelism.

Vertically opposite angles
When two straight lines intersect, they form four angles; two angles opposite to each other are said to be vertically opposite.

Image

VOY.
Vertically opposite angles are equal. Hence, <XOV = <UOY; <XOU = <VOY.

CLASS ACTIVITY
Use your protractor to measure the following angles; <XOU, <XOV, <UOY and <VOY.
What do you notice?
Adjacent angles on a straight line
In the diagram below, <XOY is a straight line, <XOZ and <YOZ lie next to each other, and they
are referred to as adjacent angles on a straight line. In other words, when two angles lie beside each other and have a common vertex, we say they are adjacent to each other.
Image

Since the sum of angles on a straight line is 1800 , <XOZ + <YOZ = 1800 . i.e. a + b = 1800
The sum of adjacent angles on a straight line is 1800 .

CLASS ACTIVITY
Use your protractor to measure angles labeled a and b.
Add angles a and b. What do you notice?
NOTE: Adjacent angles are said to be supplementary.
Alternate angles
Alternate angles are equal.
Image

In the diagram drawn above a is alternate to b and r is alternate to s

CLASS ACTIVITY
Use your protractor to measure the angles labeled a, b, r and s.
What is your observation?
Corresponding angles
Corresponding angles are equal.
Image

CLASS ACTIVITY
Use your protractor to measure the angles labeled x and y and then p and q in the in the diagram above. What do you notice?

NOTE: Angles x and y are called corresponding angles. Also angles p and q are called corresponding angles.
Therefore, when a transversal cut parallel lines corresponding angles formed are equal.

TOPIC : Identification of angles at a point and angles on a straight line. Sum of angles in a triangle.
Content:
• Identification of angles at a point
• Identification of angles on a straight line
• Sum of angles in a triangle.
Identification of angles at a point
The sum of angles at a point is 3600 .
In the diagram below all the lines intersect at a point O.

Image

CLASS ACTIVITY
a. Use your protractor to measure angles labeled p, q, r and s.
b. Add angles p, q, r and s . what is your observation?
Note: From the activity above, your result should add up to 3600 .

Image

EVALUATION:
(i). what do you understand by the following principles?
• Corresponding angles
• Alternate angles
• Co-Interior or Allied angles
• Vertically opposite angles
• Sum of angles on a straight line
• Angles at a point.
(ii) Make rough sketches to explain them.

Sum of angles in a triangle
The sum of angles in a triangle is 1800 .
To show this, draw line LM through the top vertex of the triangle, parallel to the base BC. Label each angle as shown in the diagram below.
Image

From the above diagram:
b = d (alternate angles)
c = e (alternate angles)
But d + a + e = 1800 (sum of angles on a straight line)
Since d + e = b + c
Hence: a + b + c = d + a + e = 1800
Thus, the sum of angles of a triangle = 1800 .

Worked Example
Find the size of angle x in this triangle

TOPIC: Need for Statistics: Purpose of statistics. Need for collecting data for planning purposes. Need for collecting data for analysis purpose. Need for collecting data for prediction purposes.
CONTENT:
• Purpose of statistics.
• Need for collecting data for planning purposes.
• Need for collecting data for analysis purpose.
• Need for collecting data for prediction purposes.

Purpose of Statistics
Statistics is the branch of mathematics, which deals with the study of data. It involves:
a. Gathering (i.e. collecting) data
b. Sorting and tabulating data
c. Presenting data visually by means of diagrams
d. Interpreting results.

Statistics is known to provide useful information in our everyday life:
 For record keeping
 To forecast or predict future events
 For decision making
 For planning purposes
 To gather useful information this can be passed from one source to another.

CLASS ACTIVITY
1. Find out the number of students in your school. Make a table to show the number of students in each level
2. How many males and female students do you have in your school?
3. How many male and female teachers are in your school?

Need for collecting data for planning purposes
The daily export report of barrels of petrol enables the government of Nigeria to plan the budgets. This is called economic planning.

Example 1:
A shop keeper makes record of his sales for the day. The records are as shown in the table below. This is an example of statistics used for planning purpose/decision making.
Image

Which size sells more than the other?
Which size gives more profit for the day?
If you were the shop keeper, which size would you plan to buy more on the following day? Give reasons.

Need for collecting data for analysis purpose
Collection of data from time to time helps to analyze situations. For example, statistics shows that malaria is responsible for about half the deaths of African children under the age of five. The minister of health in Nigeria revealed that the number of tuberculosis in Nigeria increased from 31 264 in 2002 to 90 307 in 2008. The number of people who died of Aids in South Africa in 2007 is about 350 000. This means Aids claimed nearly 1000 lives every day.

Example 2:
The table below shows a survey of the favourite subjects of students in basic 2.
Image


Need for collecting data for prediction purposes
The statistical charts and tables we do see on television and in the newspapers (or magazines), provide useful information which can be used to make forecast and predictions for the future. For example, the number of students enrolment in secondary and post secondary schools this year can help the government plans the number of new jobs to be created in five years’ time.

Example 3:
A food seller collects the following sales data for the week.
Image

Will you support her decision to stop selling tuwo and yam? On what prediction do you think she based her decision?

EVALUATION QUESTION
1. If your village played with another village 10 times in the past, with 9 wins and 1 loss, what is your prediction for the next match?
2. Give some reasons why you think a school principal should know the number of students in the his school?

TOPIC: Data collection: collection of data in the class. Median – Determining the median of a given set of data.
CONTENT:
Collection of data in the class
Median – Determining the median of a given set of data.
Collection of data in the class
Ability to count and write or record data clearly is the basic requirement to for effective data collection.

Example 1:
In a class of 30 students seated in six rows of five students each, the class monitor records the following dates of births, row by row.
Wed. Thur. Sun. Tue Fri.
Mon. Wed. Tues. Fri. Sun.
Sun. Wed. Mon Tues. Sat.
Fri. Sat. Sun. Thur. Wed.
Mon. Sat. Sun. Fri. Mon
Dates of birth of 30 Students
How many students were born on Tuesdays?
In what date were most students born?
In what date were the least number of students born?

Solution
The above data can be collected in a very simple and better way as shown below.
Image

Examples 2:
Two students were asked to collect data about the type of vehicles, as they passed by. The data collected were presented in two different ways.
Image

The first student presented his data by listing the vehicles as they pass by. This method is not very reliable. The method adopted by the second student is the best because he cannot miss any vehicle in his recording.

Determining the Median of a given set of data
The median of a set of values or data is the middle value when the data is arranged in order of magnitude or size.

Worked example1:
Find the median of these numbers:
13, 15, 14, 12, 13, 15, 16, 10, 12, 14

Image

CLASS ACTIVITY
Obtain the weight and the height of students in your class. Then calculate the median weight.

EVALUATION QUESTIONS.
Find the median of these numbers:
5.5, 8.6, 4.8, 10.5, 6.8, 7.5, 8.2
50%, 55%, 60%, 70%, 65%
-30C, -20C, 00C, 40C, -40C, -10C, 20C, -20C, 10C, -10C. (View Correctly Below)
