Parallel & INTERSECTING LINES & ANGLES
Lines AB and CD are parallel to one another (the on the lines means parallel).
Angles a and d are vertically opposite angles. Vertically opposite angles are equal.
(b and c, e and h, f and g are also vertically opposite).
Angles g and c are corresponding angles. Corresponding angles are equal.
(h and d, f and b, e and a are also corresponding).
Angles d and e are alternate angles. Alternate angles are equal. (c and f are also alternate).
Alternate angles form a 'Z' shape and are sometimes called 'Z angles'.
a and b are adjacent angles. Adjacent angles add up to 180 degrees. (d and c, c and a, d and b, f and
e, e and g, h and g, h and f are also adjacent).
d and f are interior angles. These add up to 180 degrees (e and c are also interior).

UNIT 4: PROPORTIONS
Fractions, decimals & percents are ways we compare numbers.
Fractions compare the number of parts to the whole
3
o Joe ate of the pizza
8
Decimals compare tenths, hundredths, thousandths, etc. depending on the
number of decimal places
o Mackenzie ran 100 m in 10.149 seconds
Percents compare the number of parts out of 100
o Steph scored 96% on her math test
Fraction to Decimal

Divide the numerator by the denominator E.g.: = 5 8 = 0.625

Decimal to Fractions
0.45 = 45 *The denominator is determined by the place
100 value of the last number in the decimal.
Fraction to Percent
Set up a proportion where x is the number out of 100
13 = x
20 100 OR 13 20 = 0.65 (100) = 65%
x = 13 (100)/20 = 65% ***Cross multiply & divide***
Percent to Fraction
Always write the percent over 100, then reduce if possible
88% = ? 88 = 44 = 22
100 100 50 25
Decimal to Percent Percent to Decimal

Always multiply the decimal by 100 Always divide by 100

Level V Equation Practice
A Level V equation is made up of two fractions, one on either side of the equal sign. To solve these equations we first have to cross-multiply, this
means that we multiply the means and extremes. Then we place one result on each the right side of the equation and the other on the left side. We then
proceed to solve as if it was a Level III or Level II equation.

SITUATION
Jonathan is a Web site designer for a company called Mega.Net. He had an original
idea for a new chat site.
To determine whether this site would generate enough income, Mega.Net analyzed
the number of people who use a similar site according to the number of months of
operation.
This analysis provided the following information:
At the end of the second month of operation, the number of users was equal to
1000 more than twice the number of users at the end of the first month.
At the end of the third month of operation, the number of users was equal to
three times the total number of people who had used the site by the end of the
first two months of operation.
For the first three months of operation, the total number of users was equal to
92 000 more than the number of users at the end of the first month.
a) How many users were there each month on the site that was analyzed?
It will cost $75 000 to design this new site. Jonathan estimates that each user who
visits the site will generate $0.80 in revenue from advertisers on the site.
b) At the end of which month will the Mega.Net company be able to reimburse the cost
of designing this site? Justify your answer.

Every Saturday, the public swimming pool has an open session when anyone can
come for a swim.
The admission charge depends on the swimmer's category. The following table shows
the admission charge for different categories.
Category Admission Charge

Child $1.50
Adolescent $2.00
Adult $3.00
Senior $2.00
Last Saturday, 250 people came to the open swimming session. Listed below is some
information about how these 250 swimmers are distributed among the four
categories.
8/25 of the swimmers belonged to the Adult category
The number of swimmers in the Child category was four times the number of
swimmers in the Adolescent category
There were 20 more swimmers in the Senior Citizen category than in the
Adolescent category.
How much revenue was earned from last Saturday's open swimming session?

The International Space Agency (ISA) wants to know if four (4) astronauts (John,
Cheryl, Mike and Peter) can use the moon jeep at the same time. If not, they would
like to know which astronauts can travel together. The moon jeep can carry 75% of its
own mass. Each astronaut must travel with his or her equipment which includes the
space suit and a tool kit.
The ISA technicians have the following information:

The four (4) astronauts have a combined mass of 256 kg.
Mikes mass is 52.5 kg less than the sum of Peter and Johns masses.
Johns mass is 1.5 times Peters mass.
Cheryls mass is 58.5 kg.
John and Peter will each carry tool kit A.
Mike and Cheryl will each carry tool kit B.
Table 1: Technical information

SITUATION
Two astronauts plan on climbing Mount Hadley (a large mountain on the moon).
Mount Hadleys highest peak has an altitude of 4.6 km.
Departing from the permanent moon station at an altitude of 2200

m, the astronauts will take a two hour journey to the base of Mount
Hadley using a moon-jeep. The astronauts will then begin climbing
Mons Hadley using the moon-jeeps climbing mode until they reach
an altitude of 4000 m. It takes the moon-jeep one hour to climb an
altitude of 360 m.
Due to rough terrain, the astronauts will then leave the moon-jeep behind to
complete their remaining trip to the summit of Mons Hadley. They will be able to
climb an altitude of 50 m every half hour. Finally, upon reaching the summit of
Mons Hadley they will stop for a two hour break to collect rock samples.

The registration period for activities at the public swimming pool has just ended. The tables and graphs
below provide different information about the registration fees and the people registered for the
different activities.
The city collected $2 340 in water polo registration fees. A city official claims that the
amount collected in registration fees for synchronized swimming was less than the
amount collected for water polo because fewer people registered for synchronized
swimming.
Is the official right or wrong?

Mathew completed the first lap of the track in 70 seconds. He crossed the finish line 80 seconds
later.
Patrick completed his first lap in 100 seconds. He increased his speed during the second lap and
caught up to Mathew at the 700-m line, exactly 130 seconds into the race. Patrick won the race,
crossing the finish line 10 seconds before Mathew.
