This online Geometry course begins by covering constructions, reasoning, and definitions. Mastering these topics form the foundation that supports the student’s progress through the remainder of this course. By understanding deductive reasoning students are able to comprehend the logical steps utilized to explain theorems, postulates and the relationship between triangles.
Students proceed to study parallel and perpendicular lines, followed by lessons on angle measurements for polygons. Angle measurements and lengths are then utilized to explain triangular congruency. Triangles are explored in detail with a focus on midsegments, bisectors, concurrent lines, medians, and altitudes. Quadrilateral properties are investigated along with special parallelograms. Ratios and proportions are introduced and then utilized to show and prove similarity between triangles.
After learning about the Pythagorean theorem, students are introduced to trigonometry followed by transformations of polygons. Area, surface area and volume of polygons, circles and 3-dimensional forms are explained. The course ends with an exploration of the circle and its chords, arcs, and inscribed angles.
Algebra 1 is a prerequisite for this course as algebra forms a part of the discussions throughout online Geometry.
This full unit course is self-contained with no additional textbook or print materials required. There are 12 examinations in this course.
