Shape and measurement

10A Pythagoras’ theoremIn a right-angled triangle the longest side (which is opposite to the right-angle) is called the hypotenuse.

For any right-angled triangle with side lengths a, b and hypotenuse c it can be proved that

a2 + b2 = c2

This is called Pythagoras’ theorem.

WORKED EXAMPLE 1

Find the value of the pronumerals to 1 decimal place.

THINK WRITE

1 In ΔABC only BC is known; therefore x should be found fi rst.

2 Use ΔADC to fi nd AC using Pythagoras’ theorem. ΔADC:x2 = 252 + 172

= 625 + 289 = 914 x = 914

≈ 30.2

3 With the added information, fi nd y.Remember that x2 = 914.

ΔABC:

( 914 )2 = y2 + 122

914 = y2 + 144y2 = 914 − 144y2 = 770

AB = 770= 27.748 873 85

4 Given that x is the side length of a triangle then its value is positive.

x = 8.94427.

5 Write the answer, correct to 1 decimal place. The height labelled x is 8.9 units.

WORKED EXAMPLE 3

WORKED EXAMPLE 4

Calculate a the area and b the perimeter of this shape.

THINK WRITE

a 1 Write the appropriate formula for the area. a A = − − −s s a s b s c( )( )( )

where s = 12 (a + b + c)

2 Identify the values of the pronumerals. a = 7, b = 8, c = 10

3 To fi nd s, substitute a, b and c values into the formula and simplify.

s = 12 (7 + 8 + 10)

= 12 × 25 = 12.5

4 Substitute the values of a, b, c, and s into the formula for the area.

A = − − −12.5(12.5 7)(12.5 8)(12.5 10)

2 Write the answer, including the appropriate units. P = 25 m

Composite figuresThe term composite means ‘made up of distinct parts’. Composite fi gures in geometry are fi gures comprising a number of distinct shapes. Depending upon the composite fi gure, to fi nd the overall area or perimeter you may need to add these individual shapes or subtract one from another.

Area of an annulusCircles are said to be concentric if they have the same centre point. The area between the two concentric circles is referred to as an annulus.

Area of annulus = area of larger circle − area of smaller circle= π R2 − π r2

= π (R2 − r2)where R = radius of the large circle

r = radius of the small circle.

WORKED EXAMPLE 5

Find the total surface area of the object shown at right.

THINK WRITE

1 Identify the shape. (Shape: rectangular prism)

2 Write the formula for the TSA of a rectangular prism.

TSA = 2(wh + lw + lh)

3 Allocate a value to the pronumerals. w = 9, h = 17, l = 19

4 Substitute the values of the pronumerals into the formula.

TSA = 2(9 × 17 + 19 × 9 + 19 × 17)

5 Evaluate (brackets fi rst, then multiply by 2). = 2(153 + 171 + 323)= 2 × 647= 1294

6 Write the answer, including units. TSA = 1294 cm2

In some situations you may know the total surface area of an object but be missing a dimension. In this case, you can use the total surface formula to fi nd the unknown dimension.

WORKED EXAMPLE 9

A tennis ball has a surface area of 154 cm2. Will it fi t through a circular hole with a diameter of 6 cm?

THINK WRITE

1 Write the formula for the TSA of a sphere. TSA = 4π r2

2 Allocate the pronumerals a value. TSA = 154 r = ?

3 Substitute known values into the formula. 154 = 4π r2

4 Evaluate. Solving 154 = 4 × π × r2 for r gives r = −3.5007 or r = 3.5007.

5 Given that r is the radius of a tennis ball, its value is positive.

Since r > 0, r = 3.5007.

390 Maths Quest 11 Standard General Mathematics

6 The question requires the diameter of the tennis ball so multiply the radius by 2.

d = 2 × r= 2 × 3.5007≈ 7.0

7 Compare the diameter of the hole with the diameter of the ball and write an answer sentence.

The tennis ball will not fi t through the circular hole because its diameter is approximately 7.0 cm, while the hole’s diameter is 6 cm.

Many buildings are composite fi gures made up of prisms and pyramids.

10F CapacityThe capacity of a container refers to the amount that it can hold. The capacity or volume of a container is usually measured in cubic units; however, when the volume of a liquid is being discussed it can be referred to in terms of millilitres, litres and kilolitres.

Recall the following facts:1000 millilitres (mL) = 1 litre (L)

1000 litres = 1 kilolitre (kL)

Cubic units are related to the fl uid capacity units as follows:

1 cm3 = 1 mL1000 cm3 = 1 L

1 m3 = 1000 L = 1 kL

WORKED EXAMPLE 14

Convert:a 400 cm3 to mL b 1200 cm3 to mL and to L c 2 kL to m3.

THINK WRITE

a Since 1 cm3 is equivalent to 1 mL, then 400 cm3 is equivalent to 400 mL.

a 400 cm3 = 400 mL

b 1 Each 1 cm3 will hold 1 mL of liquid. Therefore, 1200 cm3 will hold 1200 mL of liquid.

b 1200 cm3 = 1200 mL

2 To change mL to L, divide by 1000 (since there are 1000 mL in 1 L).

= 1.2 L

c One kL is equivalent to 1 m3. Therefore, 2 kL is equivalent to 2 m3.

c 2 kL = 2 m3

To fi nd the capacity of a container in litres, fi nd its volume in cubic units fi rst and then convert.

WORKED EXAMPLE 15

Find the capacity in mL of a rectangular container measuring 10 cm × 12 cm × 14 cm.

THINK WRITE

1 Find the volume of the container in cm3. (Since the container is rectangular, use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism.)

V = l × w × h= 10 × 12 × 14= 1680 cm3

2 Change cubic centimetres to millilitres. 1680 cm3 = 1680 mL

3 Write the answer in words. The capacity of the given container is 1680 mL.

Exercise 10F Capacity 1 WE 14 Convert the following units as indicated.

Mathematically it can be shown that if the side lengths of two similar figures are in the ratio a:b then the areas of the similar figures are in the ratio a2:b2. Squares are always similar figures. For the two squares shown:if the side length ratio = 2:6then the area ratio = 22:62

We are unable to determine whether the triangles are similar.

Being able to determine the corresponding angles in a triangle is vital to all three tests on similarity. In some cases the actual value of one of the angles is unknown, but by mathematical deduction its size can be found. This requires that you remember your angle properties. Some of these properties are shown in the following table.

10I SymmetryA 2-dimensional shape may be described as having either line symmetry and/or rotational symmetry.

Line symmetryIf it is possible to cut a 2-dimensional shape in such a way that it is divided into two mirror images, then it possesses line symmetry. The line that allows this to occur is called the axis of symmetry.

Shapes can have more than one axis of symmetry:

One axis ofsymmetry

Two axes ofsymmetry Three axes of

symmetry

Infinite numberof axes ofsymmetry

An easy way to check whether the line is an axis of symmetry of a certain shape is to fold the shape along that line. If the two parts coincide (that is, the shape folds onto itself), the line is an axis of symmetry.

1 Visualise the triangle as being folded along each dotted line. If the triangle folds onto itself the line is an axis of symmetry.

2 AB is an axis of symmetry. CD and EF are not.

E

F

AB is an axis of symmetry.

Rotational symmetryIf a shape can be rotated about its centre so that sits exactly on itself in less than one complete revolution of 360°, then it is said to have rotational symmetry. The number of times a shape sits on itself in one rotation is called its order of rotational symmetry.

For example, a square possesses rotational symmetry. By marking one corner and rotating the square in a clockwise direction around point × (its centre of rotation), it can be seen that in a turn of 90°, the square appears as it did originally.

Original Rotated onitself 90°

Rotated onitself 180°

Rotated onitself 270°

Rotated onitself 360°

With each subsequent turn of 90° the square appears as it originally did. Within the 360° revolution there were four times the square appeared as its original, so a square’s order of rotational symmetry is said to be 4.

An equilateral triangle has an order of rotational symmetry of 3.

120°120°

The principles of line and rotational symmetry can also be applied to 3-dimensional objects.

Axes of symmetryAn axis of symmetry is a line about which an object can rotate so that it assumes positions identical with those of the original. Like rotational symmetry in 2-dimensional shapes, a 3-dimensional shape can be described by its order of rotational symmetry. This is the number of times the shape assumes an appearance identical with that in the original position, within one revolution of 360° about its axis of symmetry.

A square-based pyramid has an order of rotational symmetry of 4.In a square-based pyramid there is only one axis of symmetry; however, other

3-dimensional objects can have none or many.

CHAPTER 10 Shape and measurement 409

TessellationsThere are many examples in design, art and architecture where shapes are used to cover a surface with patterns which leave no gaps. These patterns are referred to as tessellations.

Tessellations can be divided into three main categories: regular, homogeneous (or semi-regular) and non-homogeneous (irregular).1. In regular tessellations, the pattern is made by only one type of regular polygon.2. In homogeneous tessellations, the pattern is made up of different types of regular polygon.3. In non-homogeneous tessellations, any type of shape can be used.The subject of ‘tessellations’ is also presented in Chapter 6 ‘Geometry in two and three dimensions’ (pages 253–55).

Non-homogeneous (irregular) tessellationsThis category is not restricted to using regular polygons, so any shapes that will fit together to cover a plane surface can be used. The shapes still need to form a definite pattern that is repeated to cover the surface.

SummaryPythagoras’ theorem in two dimensions

In any right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides:

c2 = a2 + b2

Pythagoras’ theorem in three dimensions

Use the following steps when solving 3-dimensional problems.Step 1. Identify the length that needs to be found.Step 2. Identify the triangle that contains the unknown length.Step 3. Re-draw this triangle in two dimensions.If the triangle containing the unknown length has other measurements missing, fi nd these missing values fi rst from other triangles within the fi gure.Unless stated in the problem, do not round calculations until the very last value is calculated and then give an answer with the appropriate number of decimal places.

Perimeter and area Generally:– Unless specifi ed, do not round units until the end of the solution.– If the measurements in question include units, include them in your fi nal answer.– The perimeter is the distance around a closed 2-dimensional shape.– Area refers to the surface enclosed by the boundaries of a 2-dimensional shape.

Capacity The capacity of a container is the amount that it can hold.To fi nd the fl uid capacity of a container, fi nd its volume in cubic units fi rst and then convert, using the following rules:

1 cm3 = 1 mL, 1 m3 = 1 kL = 1000 L

Similar figures Similar fi gures have the same shape but different sizes. The corresponding angles in each similar fi gure are the same; however, the corresponding side lengths differ by a scale factor.

Similar triangles Triangles are similar if:1. all corresponding angles are equal (AAA), or2. all corresponding sides are in the same ratio (SSS), or3. two sides are in the same ratio and the included angles are equal (SAS).When comparing triangles it is best to have them drawn with the same orientation.When forming an equation to solve for a missing dimension, place the unknown value in the numerator to make the calculation steps easier.

Symmetry The line that divides a 2-dimensional shape into two parts that are mirror images of each other is called the axis of symmetry.A 2-dimensional shape can be classifi ed by the number of lines of symmetry it possesses and the number of times the shape superimposes itself when rotated around a fi xed point, called the order of rotational symmetry.A 3-dimensional shape can be classifi ed by the number of planes of symmetry it possesses and the number of times the shape superimposes itself when rotated around the chosen axis of symmetry (its order of rotational symmetry).

1 Lena and Alex are renovating their bathroom. Inspired by a creative exhibit from the recent Home Show, they decided to use various geometric shapes in their design. The ‘window wall’ is the first section to be renovated. The old window is to be replaced with two new windows as shown below and then the wall is to be tiled.

1.2 m

2.5 mThe window on the right is in the shape of an equilateral triangle, while the one on the left is in the shape of a trapezium. The shorter parallel side of the trapezium is the same length as the sides of the triangular window and the longer parallel side is equal to 2.5 m. Both windows are to be 1.2 m high.Calculate:a the perimeter of each window to the nearest centimetreb the cost of wood (to the nearest dollar) needed to frame the windows, if the wood is sold at

$13.50 per metrec the area of each windowd the total cost of the glass (to the nearest dollar), priced at $45 per m2.The ‘window wall’ is to be tiled with glass tiles in the shape of a rhombus as shown at right.e Will the tiles tessellate? Give reasons for your answer and draw

a small segment of the pattern to illustrate it.f Small spaces between the tiles are to be fi lled with a special

grout. Find the length (to the nearest centimetre) around each tile that needs to be fi lled with grout.

g Find the area of each tile.h If the ‘window wall’ is 4.6 m × 2.7 m, fi nd the total area that needs to be tiled.i The tiles are sold in boxes of 12. Use the results from parts g and h to fi nd the number of boxes that

Lena and Alex need to purchase. Add an extra 10% for breakages to the number of tiles needed.

2 After successfully coping with the ‘window wall’ (see Question 1), Alex and Lena decide to improve other parts of their bathroom. First they want to decorate other walls with mosaic features as shown at right.a Find the area of each feature to the nearest cm2.b If Lena wants 6 of each type of feature, fi nd the total

area of the mosaic needed; then add 10% extra for breakages and cutting.

c Mosaic can be purchased in square sheets 30 cm × 30 cm at $22 each. (Each sheet can then be cut as needed, but only whole sheets can be purchased.) Find the total cost of the mosaic features.

Next Alex wants to replace the old mirror with a new one as shown at right.The mirror is in the shape of a major segment, that is, a circle with a section of it cut off straight. (The ‘cut-off’ section will be complemented by small glass shelves.)d If both the radius and the length of the ‘cut-off’ edge

are 50 cm each, fi nd the total area of the mirror (to the nearest cm2).

e Alex wants to have the edges of the mirror bevelled. This can be easily done at the local glass store at a cost of $20 per metre. Find the cost of the bevelling job.

The most daring feature of the new bathroom is the extremely modern looking shower screen. It can be thought of as a section of the curved surface of a cylinder 1.4 m long. The curved edge is in the shape of an arc, subtended by a 120° angle from the

centre of a circle with a radius of 2

3 m.

f Find the length of the curved edge.g Find the total area of the glass in the

shower screen.Bela the builder advises Lena and Alex that since they want a frameless screen, it has to be made from a special toughened 10-mm-thick glass.h What fraction of a cubic metre is the volume of glass in this unusual shower screen?
