You will be asked to evaluate whether an answer is "reasonable." At times, you will need to make the determination of whether or not to round. Rounding up or down depends on what you are asked to solve, and you will have to use common sense.

In this unit, you will calculate area and perimeter of polygons and circles, and surface area of prisms, cylinders, pyramids and cones. You will dilate rectangles and predict the resulting perimeters and areas. You will explore and learn to calculate volume of rectangular prisms, dilate them and predict the resulting volume. You will determine volume of prisms, cylinders, pyramids and cones.

Terms you need to know for this unit include:

perimeter

area

dilation

scale factor

circumference

center

radius

diameter

pi

inscribed

circumscribed

polyhedron

face

edge

vertex

surface area

prism
