T H E M E : Architecture

Imagine that you have the opportunity to design and build a new home foryour family. How would you decide what design features to incorporate?

Your new home must be functional to meet your family’s needs. It must alsobe appealing to the eye to suit your family’s personality and complementother buildings in the community.

Architects have been using geometric principles for centuries to design andbuild homes, schools and public buildings. In the search for pleasing and usefulforms, they have explored and applied many important principles of geometry.

• Building Inspectors (page 435) ensure the safety of buildings beforeconstruction is complete. They make sure that safety guidelines andbuilding codes are strictly followed. Inspectors may stop a project ifsafety standards are not met.

• Landscape Architects(page 453) design outdoor areassuch as gardens, parks, andplaygrounds. Landscapearchitects study soil, sunlight,topography, and climate whendesigning a landscaping plan.

Chapter 10 Right Triangles and Circles

Use the table for Questions 1–4.

1. Compare the number of stories to the height in feet for eachbuilding. Which building has the least amount of height perstory? What has the greatest amount of height per story?

2. The framework for the Empire State Building rose at a rate offour-and-a-half stories per week. How many days were requiredto build the framework?

3. The Sears Tower consists of nine 75-ft square modules which riseto staggered levels. What is the combined area of the modules insquare feet?

4. Create a bar graph of the buildings’ heights with the buildingarranged according to the date they were built.

CHAPTER INVESTIGATIONOften, large cities do not have available space to build newbuildings or the means to tear down older buildings and replacethem with new ones. As a result, many cities are hiring architects togive older buildings a facelift or makeover. A new facade is attachedto the front of the building to make the building more attractive andunify design elements.

Working TogetherMake a sketch of the front of your school as it now looks. Researcharchitectural styles and select appropriate design elements. Thencreate a facade that could fit over the front of your school to give it anew look. Draw plans for your new design. Use the ChapterInvestigation icons to guide your group.

Do you think that eventually you will find a number, y, with enough decimal places so that y 2 � 2 exactly?

BUILD UNDERSTANDING

The symbol �x� means the square root of a number, x. It is the number thatmultiplied by itself equals x. For example, �4� � 2, because 22 � 4; and �144� � 12, because 122 � 144. These two examples have square roots that arerational numbers.

The number �2� is an irrational number, which means that it is not a rationalnumber. Therefore, it is a number that cannot be written as a fraction, aterminating decimal, or a repeating decimal. It can be represented by anonterminating, nonrepeating decimal, and it can be approximated to anydecimal place.

Another way to read the expression �2� is “radical 2.” The number under theradical sign is called the radicand. There are properties of radicals that allow youto simplify them.

E x a m p l e 2

Simplify each expression.

a. �32� b. �300� c. �125�

SolutionRewrite each radicand as a product of two numbers, so that one of them is aperfect square.

a. �32� � �16 � 2� � �16� � �2� or 4�2�

b. �300� � �3 � 10�0� � �3� � �100� or 10�3�

c. �125� � �25 � 5� � �25� � �5� or 5�5�

Numbers written in radical form can be multiplied together.

E x a m p l e 3

Multiply (4�10�)(� 3.1�6�).

SolutionRewrite the product so that rational factors and irrational factors are grouped separately.

(4�10�)(�3.1�6�) � (4 � �3.1)(�10� � �6�)

� �12.4�60� �10� � �6� � �10 � 6�

The product can be simplified.

�12.4�60� � �12.4(�4 � 15�)

� �12.4(2�15�)

� �24.8�15�

So, (4�10�)(�3.1�6�) � �24.8�15�.

A similar theorem about radicals applies to quotients.

Reading Math

In everyday language,words that have“rational” as one of theirparts usually relate toreasons or reasonableness.For example, rationalizingmeans to find a reason forsomething. When you saysomeone is beingirrational, you mean thathe or she is not makingsense or not beingreasonable.

In mathematics, wordswith “rational” as one oftheir parts always relateto ratio. Rational numbersare numbers that can bewritten as a ratio of twointegers. Irrationalnumbers cannot.Rationalizing thedenominator meanschanging it to a rationalnumber.

BUILD UNDERSTANDING

In a right triangle, the shorter sides are legs, and the side opposite the rightangle is the hypotenuse. The relationship between the squares of the lengths of thelegs and the square of the length of the hypotenuse is called the Pythagorean Theorem.

This proof of the Pythagorean Theorem usessimilar triangles formed by the altitude to thehypotenuse.

Given �ABC, �C is a right angle.Prove a 2 � b 2 � c 2

Construction and building inspectors make sure new structures follow building codes and ordinances, zoning

regulations, and contract specifications. They may also inspectalterations and repairs to existing structures.

Inspectors have the authority to stop projects if safety standardsand building codes are not met. To do their work, inspectors usetape measures, survey instruments, metering devices, cameras,and calculators.

1. Construct several different equilateral triangles.

2. Cut out each triangle and fold it so that one vertex matches another.

3. Draw a line segment along the fold.

4. Examine the figures formed by the triangle and the line segment you drew.Write as many different observations about the triangle and the line segmentas you can.

BUILD UNDERSTANDING

All right triangles with the same corresponding angle measures are similar. Thisfact and the Pythagorean Theorem lead to some theorems about therelationships among the sides in two types of right triangles.

In the equilateral triangles you examined above, you probably noticed that thesegment that separated one side into two congruent segments was alsoperpendicular to that segment. In this way, a right triangle is formed that has a60° angle and one leg that is half the measure of the hypotenuse.

In this 30°–60°–90° triangle,suppose the measure of theside opposite the 30° angle iss. Then the measure of thehypotenuse is 2s. You can usethe Pythagorean Theorem tofind the measure of thelonger leg of the triangle interms of s.

Let y represent the measure of theside opposite the 60° angle.

In a 30°–60°–90° triangle, the measure of the hypotenuseis two times that of the leg opposite the 30° angle. The measure of the other leg is �3� times that of the leg opposite the 30° angle.

30°–60°–90°TriangleTheorem

See additional answers.

SolutionIn a 30°–60°–90° triangle, if the leg opposite the 30° angle is s, then the other leg iss�3�, and the hypotenuse is 2s.

So, in this triangle, the leg opposite the 30° angle is 4 cm, the other leg is 4�3� cm,and the hypotenuse is 8 cm.

s�3� side opposite 60° angle s�3� � (3.5) (�3�) � 6.1

So, the missing measures of this triangle are 3.5 in. and about 6.1 in.

1. Draw a circle, mark its center, and cut the circle out. Fold the circle in half andthen in quarters. Draw line segments along the two creases to outline one-fourth of the circle. What kind of angle is formed at the center of the circle bythe two line segments?

2. Draw another circle and cut it out. Fold the circle in half and draw along thecrease to draw a diameter. Draw a line segment to connect one endpoint ofthe diameter with any point on the circle. Then draw another line segment toconnect that point with the other endpoint of the diameter. What do younotice about the angle formed?

BUILD UNDERSTANDING

In a circle, a central angle is an angle that has its vertex atthe center of the circle. The rays of the angle are said tointercept an arc. �ABC intercepts minor arc _AC as well as major arc -AXC. A minor arc is smaller than a semicircle, anda major arc is larger than a semicircle.

The degree measure of an arc is the same as the number of degrees of thecorresponding central angle. Because m�ABC � 50, m _AC � 50 and m -AXC � 360 � 50, or 310.

A circle graph is a good way to compare data that are parts of a whole.Each part of the whole can be changed to a percent of the whole. Thenthe percents are used to divide a circle into sectors.

P r o b l e m

URBAN PLANNING A cityplanner is looking at the resultsof a survey of housing types.She decides to make a circlegraph of the data to present tothe next city council meeting.

Solve the ProblemStep 1: Add all of the data to find the total.

9070 � 3023 � 756 � 2267 � 15,116

Step 2: Find what percent each number is of the total. Use a calculator and round percents to the nearest whole percent.

Step 3: Find the central angles that correspond to each percent.

Since there are 360° in a circle, use the percents found in Step 2to find corresponding central angle measures. For example,60% of 360° is 216°.

Step 4: Construct the graph using a compass, straightedge, andprotractor.

Start with the smallest angle and work around to the largestangle. Draw a circle and one radius. Place the protractor so thatthe 18° mark aligns with the radius. Make a mark at 18° anddraw a radius at that point.

Construct a polygon using a compass and a straightedge.

1. Use a compass to draw any circle.

2. Keeping the compass open to the same radius, place the compass pointanywhere on the circle and draw a small arc that intersects the circle.

3. Place the compass point on the intersection you just made and drawanother arc but not through the starting point.

4. Continue in this way around the circle. You will have drawn six points.

5. Connect each point to the one next to it with a line segment. Measure the sides and angles of the polygon you have drawn. How would youdescribe the figure?

BUILD UNDERSTANDING

Several regular polygons can be constructed using a circle. For instance, you canconstruct an equilateral triangle using steps 1 through 4 above to draw six evenlyspaced points. Then use a straightedge to connect every other point to form thetriangle. The same basic construction can be adapted to construct a regulardodecagon, a 12-sided polygon.

E x a m p l e 1

Construct a regular dodecagon.

SolutionStep 1: Begin with a circle and mark off 6 equalarcs, as you did above.

Step 2: Connect each point to the center of thecircle. You now have 6 central angles that are allcongruent.

Step 3: Bisect three consecutive central angles. Extend each bisector sothat it intersects the circle on two sides. You should now have 12 equallyspaced points on the circle.

Step 4: Connect each point to the one next to it with a straight linesegment. The resulting figure is a regular dodecagon.

E x a m p l e 2

Circumscribe a circle around this regularpentagon.

SolutionTo circumscribe a circle around any regular polygon, construct theperpendicular bisector of any two of its sides. The point ofintersection of the bisectors becomes the center of the circle. Theradius of the circle is the distance from the center to any vertex of the polygon.

An inscribed polygon has every vertex of the polygon on the samecircle. Any regular polygon can be inscribed in a circle.

LESSON 10-4 Circles, Angles, and Arcs, p. 440

� The measure of a central angle of a circle is the same as the measure of itsintercepted arc.

� The measure of an inscribed angle in a circle is one-half the measure of itsintercepted arc.

� If two secants intersect inside a circle, the measure of each angle formed isequal to one-half the sum of the measures of the intercepted arcs.

� If two secants, two tangents, or a tangent and a secant intersect outside acircle, then the measure of the angle formed is equal to one-half the differenceof the measures of the intercepted arcs.

LESSON 10-6 Circles and Segments, p. 448

� If two chords intersect inside a circle, then the product of the measures of thetwo segments of one chord is equal to the product of the measures of the twosegments of the other chord.

� If two secant segments have a common endpoint outside a circle, then theproduct of the measures of one secant segment and its external part is equal to the product of the measures of the other secant segment and itsexternal part.

� If a tangent segment and a secant segment have a common endpoint outsidea circle, then the square of the measure of the tangent segment is equal to theproduct of the measures of the secant segment and its external part.
