Week of September 20th

Algebra 2H pds 1,4
After going over the hw on equations, we also went over the 3 word problems on the hw paper. We will return to word problems in the future in more detail.
Today's lesson was on Solving Absolute Value Equations. If the absolute value = a positive answer, there are two equations to set up. If the absolute value= a negative answer, there is NO SOLUTION, and no work to show!
HW Worksheet # 1-15 ALL- Show all work!!!
EC problem--The width of a rectangle is 12 cm less than twice its length. If the perimeter of the rectangle = 102 cm, find the length and width of the rectangle.

Geometry H pds 2,5- Tomorrow's quiz is postponed due to our construction unit!!!
Today, we used our compass and straightedge to construct a segment = to another segment, and to construct a segment bisector (divides the segment into 2 equal parts). WE also constructed a Daisy Design.
HW Worksheet-Do ALL construction problems.
EC problem... Draw a segment on your paper of 12 cm. Call it segment QR. Construct the bisector of segment QR. Label the point of intersection M, and the segment bisector line JK.

Trig pd 6
Today was the review for tomorrow's quiz. There will be many questions on finding the sides of the special right triangles. Other problems will be similar to the review sheet.
EC question- What part of tomorrow's quiz is most difficult for you to remember? Why?
