Geometry, Semester B
Credits: 0.5
Course Overview and Goals

Geometry is a branch of mathematics that uses logic and formal thinking to establish
relationships among points, lines, angles, plane figures, and solids, as well as define their
properties. In Geometry, Semester B, you will explore right triangles, trigonometry, and
properties of circles and apply geometric concepts to probability. You will also investigate and
measure surface area and volume of geometric solids, applying what you learn to model and
solve real-world problems.
By the end of this course, you will be able to do the following:

 Prove the converse of the Pythagorean theorem and the laws of sines and cosines.
 Prove and apply circle properties and relationships.
 Construct inscribed and circumscribed circles and tangent lines.
 Derive the equation of a circle or parabola on the coordinate plane.
 Measure and describe plane and solid figures using perimeter, area, surface area, and
volume.
 Calculate probabilities and apply probability concepts to establish independence and
make decisions.
 Apply geometric and trigonometric concepts to solve real-world and mathematical
problems.
