Study Packet for the June 2018 Geometry Regents Common Core Here’s the deal. You’re going to pass the Geometry Regents. I believe that through this guide and the preparation you have had up to this point, you will be ready. In this packet we will cover some basic topics that come up on every Geometry common core regent. If you can master these topics you have a good chance at passing the regent. Here’s the plan: Day Do this Monday 6/11 Pages 2-5 Tuesday 6/12 Pages 6-10 Wednesday 6/13 Pages 11-14 Thursday 6/14 Do the worksheet on Directed Line Segments (Partition Point) uploaded to Ms. Pellei’s page at foresthillshs.org. Friday 6/15 Saturday 6/16 Sunday 6/17 Completely rest one of these days, unless you are attending Geometry Regents Review on Saturday and Sunday from 9 – 12; then only do that and rest the remainder of the day. On the other days, do the “Everything in Geometry” document uploaded to Ms. Pellei’s page at foresthillshs.org. This may take you two days but, as it ties much of the entire curriculum together in a single extended problem, it is worth the time spent. Monday 6/18 The June 2015 Geometry Common Core regents. You can find a video of Mr. Estrada, Math for America Master Teacher, doing this here: https://youtu.be/dDwDcg9SPIM Tuesday 6/19 Test is scheduled to start at 8:30am. Be at FHHS by 7:45. Guidance: This almost always comes up. You can always sketch out the situation to visualize the resulting solid. However, these types of questions essentially boil down to these three things: Revolving 2-D figure to get 3-D figure Rectangle around a line ( Cylinder Right triangle around a line ( Cone Half Circle around a line ( Sphere Guidance: If you want to pass this test then you better know that 1. The slopes of parallel lines are equal 2. The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals eg : 𝑎𝑏 𝑎𝑛𝑑−𝑏𝑎 Put each of the choices in y=mx+b form and select the one that has a slope that is the negative reciprocal of -1/3 If you want to be successful in this test, you need to know these properties. Memorize this and practice their application in the questions that follow. Recall: Every member of a subset is a member of the larger set, e.g. all squares are rectangles, rhombuses, parallelograms, non-special trapezoids, and quadrilaterals. Memorize the family tree on page 3 of the formula sheet! Multiple Choice Questions: Guidance: I think the answer is obvious here via process of elimination. However, we are supposed to analyze the slopes of the diagonals and the sides (Especially if this were a Part II, III or IV question). In this case the slopes of the diagonals are Slope of AC = 0 and slope of BD=Undefined which makes the diagonals perpendicular Guidance: Remember, the diagonals of a rhombus are negative reciprocals. AC is a diagonal. What is the slope of AC? Slope of AC= Since we want to prove it’s a rhombus then we need the slope of the other diagonal to be what? Guidance: Use the provided axes to graph MT. Slope of MT = Given that MATH is a rhombus, what must be the slope of the other diagonal? Slope of AH = Now we need to write the equation of the line. Substitute below and solve for b. (Hint: (X,Y) come from the midpoint of the diagonal) x= y= m= b=? y = m x + b Guidance: Label the given congruent angles and sides. Separate the triangles: rotate RDO so that R is above, D is lower left and O is lower right. Write a proportion and solve. (This is technically SAS for congruent triangles but it still works for similarity. Guidance: Label the given sides. Separate the triangles. Write a proportion and solve. (This is AA for similarity and can be used to prove similar triangles (This is SAS for similarity and can be used to prove similar triangles Guidance: We can justify similarity by demonstrating that the sides are proportional and the angles in between those sides are congruent. Which choice gives us proportional sides For example: Choice 1: 36=412 Cross multiplying will

FAQs

What is the overall study schedule in this packet for the June 2018 Geometry Regents?

The packet lays out a daily plan from Monday 6/11 through Tuesday 6/19, assigning specific page ranges and targeted worksheets, plus a recommended rest day unless attending a review session.

How does the packet suggest handling solid-geometry questions on the exam?

It advises sketching the situation and notes that these problems reduce to revolving a 2-D figure to form a 3-D solid, with examples including cylinder, cone, and sphere.

Which slope rules does the packet emphasize for parallel and perpendicular lines?

It stresses that parallel lines have equal slopes, while perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals, with practice converting choices into y=mx+b form.
