Geometry of 2d shapes grade 9
In Grade 9 Geometry, you will learn about 2D shapes and their properties. Here are some of the key topics you can expect to cover:
- Lines and angles:
- Types of lines: straight, curved, horizontal, vertical, diagonal, parallel and perpendicular lines
- Types of angles: acute, obtuse, right, straight, reflex and complementary angles
- Polygons:
- Definition and properties of polygons
- Types of polygons: triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, etc.
- Properties of each type of polygon: number of sides, angles, diagonals, perimeter and area
- Circles:
- Definition and properties of circles
- Parts of a circle: radius, diameter, chord, tangent, sector and arc
- Circumference and area of a circle
- Transformations:
- Translation: moving a shape from one position to another without changing its size or shape
- Reflection: flipping a shape over a line of reflection
- Rotation: turning a shape around a fixed point
- Congruent and Similar shapes:
- Definition and properties of congruent and similar shapes
- Identifying congruent and similar shapes
- Proving that shapes are congruent or similar using mathematical reasoning
