G6_A_(072-103)_U03_F 4/5/06 6:19 PM Page 75 Recall that you can use a protractor to draw or measure angles. On a protractor, the measures go from 0° to 180° clockwise and counterclockwise. ➤ To measure an angle using a protractor, follow these steps: Step 1 Estimate if the angle is less than or greater than 90°. I think this angle is less than 90°. Step 2 Place the protractor on top of the angle. The vertex of the angle is at the centre of the protractor. One arm of the angle lines up with the base line of the protractor. Step 3 Start at 0° on the arm along the base line. Find where the other arm of the angle meets the protractor. Recall the estimate, then read the appropriate measure. This angle measures 60°, not 120°. This angle is less than 90°.

LESSON FOCUS Make and apply generalizations about diagonals of quadrilaterals. 81 G6_A_(072-103)_U03_F 4/5/06 6:20 PM Page 82 ➤ The diagonals of a rhombus have these properties: • They are perpendicular. • They bisect each other. • They form 4 congruent right triangles. • They lie on the 2 lines of symmetry of the rhombus. • They bisect the angles of the rhombus. ➤ We can use the properties of a diagonal of a rhombus to find the measures of all angles when we measure one angle. A diagonal lies on a line of symmetry, so b = 66°. A diagonal divides the rhombus into 2 congruent isosceles triangles. In each triangle, the two equal angles add up to 180° 66° 114°.

Unit 3 Lesson 6 4/5/06 6:29 PM Page 93 Animator ld of W ork Wor G6_A_(072-103)_U03_F An animator uses artistic talent and sophisticated graphics software to make movie scenes. But while the software may be sophisticated, basic geometry is at its core. Every movement of an object within an animated scene involves one or more transformations. The animator chooses direction and speed, and the software performs the transformations to match. Animators continually adjust their instructions to make a scene more realistic or exciting. New “routines” are stored and shared with the other animators working on the project. Although everything appears three-dimensional, calculations are done using two-dimensional transformations with sizing changes. Computer animators can recreate details that would be impossible to get on film alone. Sometimes, they can make the unbelievable seem real.

Use dental floss to find how many planes of symmetry a tetrahedron has. b) Which figures make up the cross-sections of the planes of symmetry? ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ g Goals estimate, measure, and draw angles using a protractor make and apply generalizations about the sum of angles in triangles and quadrilaterals make and apply generalizations about diagonal properties of quadrilaterals sort quadrilaterals according to properties make and interpret orthographic drawings create cross-sections from solids make generalizations about the planes of symmetry of solids Unit 3 101 G6_A_(072-103)_U03_F 4/5/06 6:31 PM Page 102 It’s a Slice You will need: • Plasticine • dental floss Use the Plasticine to make a prism, a pyramid, a cone, a cylinder, and a sphere. Part 1 Try to make each cross-section by cutting the solids in different ways. • a hexagon • an octagon • a parallelogram that is not a rectangle • a circle • a square • an equilateral triangle • a rectangle that is not a square • a triangle that is not equilateral • a pentagon Record which figures you were able to create and how you created them. Which figures were impossible to make? Explain why. What conclusions might you make about the kinds of polygons that can be made from the cross-sections of a prism? A pyramid? 102 Unit 3 G6_A_(072-103)_U03_F 4/5/06 6:31 PM Page 103 ist C h e ck L Part 2 Try to make cross-sections with two or more of these properties by cutting the solids. • a triangle with at least two 60° angles • a figure with 4 lines of symmetry • a figure with perpendicular diagonals • a figure with diagonals that bisect each other • a figure whose angle sum is 360° • a figure with one pair of parallel sides • a figure with 2 lines of symmetry Your work should show illustrations of your cross-sections with figures named explanations for the cross-sections that are not possible conclusions about the cross-sections that are possible ✓ ✓ ✓ Sketch and name the types of polygons you create. Identify the properties from the list above. How are the properties of quadrilaterals related to the cross-sections and planes of symmetry of solids? Use diagrams in your explanation. Unit 3 103
