SUMMER WISHES

2010-05-29T03:54:00.000-07:00

Students,

Wow! I can't believe the year is over. I wasn't able to say everything I wanted to say so here goes...

First, let me congratulate all of you for your success on this years TAKS exams. I know how hard everyone worked and it's good to know that it paid off. You took the tests and did your best. Hats off to each one of you. I only wish we would have hit the mark we set for class so I could have worn some liberty spikes. Can you imagine me with those? YIKES (:

Again, best wishes in H.S. No matter which one you attend, I want you to make a positive impact. If you are not in band, orchestra, choir, cheerleading, JROTC, football, basketball, volleyball, cross country, track, or any other extra curricular activity get involved in something connected to the school other than just your classes! Do it your freshman year. Don't get me wrong, classes are great. Clubs keep you motivated, for those having issues staying that way. (: Clubs keep you connected, when you're involved it really helps you to feel it's not just "the school" but "my school"(or our school). Clubs help you to be more well rounded and that looks good to college admissions boards.

Finally, a quote from John Quincy Adams: "If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader." Be Ranger Strong because Rangers lead the way!

XOXO,
Ms. Fowler

Geometry - Proof #9 from Class Discussion

2009-11-13T14:07:00.000-08:00

Describe how you could use the formulas for midpoint and slope to prove the following. Given: Triangle HJK, R is the midpoint of side HJ, S is the midpoint of side JK. Prove: segment RS is parallel to side HK.

Answer: please note your answer would NOT have to be exactly like this

Use the midpoint formula (average of the x-coordinates, average of the y-coordinates) to find the coordinates of the midpoints R & S. Using the coordinates of R, S, H, & K and the slope formula (the difference of the y-coordinates "over" the difference of the x-coordinates) find the slopes of RS and HK. If those two line segments have the same slope, then we can say they are parallel.

Diagonals of a Rectangle Proof

2009-11-10T11:48:00.001-08:00

Given: FGHI is a rectangle

Prove: The diagonals of a rectangle have equal lengths

*Using paragraph proof, until I learn how to format 2 columns*

We know that quadrialateral FGHI is a rectangle because it was given.

We can say that segments FI & GH are congruent using the definition of a rectangle. We can also say that angles I and H are rt angles by the definition of a rectangle. Because of the Right Angle Congruence Theorem, we know that angles I and H are congruent (that Thm. means all right angles are congruent to one another). Segments HI & IH are congruent by the Reflexive Prop. of congruence. So we know that Triangles FIH & GHI are congruent using the SAS postulate. Finally, we can say that segments FH & GI are congruent by CPCTC.
