AN ADULT
EDUCATION OPPORTUNITY
If you are an adult who did not finish high school, here’s
your chance to work toward the GED certificate right in
your own home through the mini-exams and instructional
notes which are appearing in the Archer County News
each week for 12 weeks. This is the ninth in the series.
•MLL IT RIGHT!
We have arrived at lhal part ot our studies that
gives trouble to rich and poor, student and drop-
out educated and uneducated alike - spelling
There s one thing to remember about spelling in
■he English language there are a lot of rules but
there are always exceptions to these rules'
Before we look ai some rules we should be
(•miliar with rarlftin t#»ffT)$
Vowels - the letters s, e, l,0, u and sometimes v
vowels and consonants • the remaining letters of
The other sides sometimes are called legs
2 Equilateral triangle - has three equal sides
and three equal angles
the alphabet are consonants.
awniAn - tnvy aim mynauima or groups Ol
syllables added 10 ihe end ot a word to change its
meaning
preti.es - they are syllables or groups of
syllables placed al the beginning ol a word to
change ils meaning
6ms 1: It, II
! before E_
Except alter £
Or when sounded like _A
As m neighbor or weigh
Learn these demons
believe ceiling
friend conceive
mischief deceive
niece receipt
piece sleigh (pronounced slayl
relieve v*'n
view weigh (pronounced wey)
6ms X: The Fine! E
When words end in e silent £, drop the E when
you add a suflix that begins with a vowel
Example write, writing (not writetng or
writtmg) hide hiding (not hideing or hidding)
When a word ends in a silent E. keep the £
when you add a sultix beginning with a con-
sonant
Example lite lifeless (not lifless)
arrange, arrangement (not ar rang mem)
lima I: Coneenant Ending
Ol One EySable Worde
When a one-syllable word ends in a consonant
double the consonant when adding a suffix, such
as mg, ed. er eat
Example get getting (not gating) awim. swim
ming (not swimmg) tap. tapped (not taped) clap
clapper (not claper)
Rule 4: Final V
When a final _Y_ is preceded by a consonant
change the X to an J,when using any suffix except
ing
Example hurry, hurried (drop Ihe Y) hurrying
(keep the Y) lady, ladies (drop the Y)
In the exercise below, wa ve listed groups ol
words in which one is misspelled You select the
incorrect word and write it correctly Wave in-
cluded words that were not covered by the above
rules Remember that there are always exceptions
to the rules and that you must memorize these ex-
ceptions
3 Isosceles triangle - has two equal sides and
Ihe third side may be shorter or lonqer
4 Scalene triangle - has no equal sides
1 running, appreciate, greif_
2 Wensday. sugar, separata_
3 belie!, riendeer. already_
4 begmmg. freight, buried_
5. bureau, committee canidat*.
6 ninty. salary, chimney.
7 sincerely, truley. license
8 necessary, restaurant, omited_
9 puling, occurring, fierce_
10 scissors, lubricating. satislyed_
GEOMETRY
Geometry, like algebra, contains a special
language, but the terms are more easily un-
derstood. because you may have used them in
practical problem solving For example, most
geometric figure* are simply formed from lines
Lines ar* understood to be ot infinite length
They are endlee* Certain geometric figures ar*
composed ol parts ol lines that have a detinue
length A line segment it a part ol * line (For
example, line segments that make up a square
are four equal or congruent segments ) These are
called line segments
ANGLES
You will be working with angles and shapes
An male it formed by two lines extending from a
point The point where the two lines meet it
celled the vertex A right male has exactly 90
degrees |_ (Angles are measured in degrees )
•HAMS
A Trimole - a three-sided figure We will deal
with tour types ot triangles
t Right triangle - has one right mgle
The side opposite the nghi mgle it called the
hypotenuse
In solving problems dealing with shapes, you
will need to know these terms and relationships
Perimeter - the distance around the sum ol the
sides ol a geometric ligure
Area - The space inside Ihe figure - To find area
ol a triangle A* 1 /2 ab or the area (A) is equal to
112 ol the altitude (a) times the base (b) The base
is the horizontal line or the bottom line ol the
triangle and Ihe altitude is the perpendicular
distance from the base to the opposite venex
You may have heard ol the Pythagorean
Theorem It is a rule lor finding the length ot one
side ot a right mangle il the length ol Ihe oiher
two are known The rule slates the sum of the j
squares of each leg equals Ihe square ol Ihe 1
hypotenuse
You find the length ol ihe hypotenuse by
squaring both legs and adding ihe products The
square root (the two equal factors ol lhal number)
ot that sum will be ihe length ol the hypotenuse
B Rectangle - a tour sided ligure (with right
angles) whose opposite sides ar* equal
C Square - a tour-sided ligure whose sides are
all equal and whose angles are right angles
0 Circle • a closed curved line with alt points
on the curved line ihe same distance from the
center ol ihe circle
GULES OR FORMULAS
FOR RECTANGLES AND SQUARES
1 To tmd Ihe perimeier ol a square or rec-
tangle add the lour sides - or in a sqjare multiply
lour times the length ot one side since they are all
equal
2. To find Ihe area ol a square or rectangle,
multiply the length times the width The area will
be expressed in square measure (feel x leei »
square leet)
RULES OR FORMULAS FOR CIRCLES
The distance around a circle is called the cir-
cumlerenc* A line from the center ot ihe circle to
the circur ‘urence is called the radius A straight
line urawn m.ough the center ol the circle,
reaching from side to side is called the diameter
In the formulas dealing with circles use these
symbols
C means circumference
r memi radius
d means diameter
■e* is Ihe symbol called pi and is approximately
equal to 22 or 3t4t6 The radius is 1/2 ihe
7
diameter or the diameter is twice the radius .
t To tmd the circumference ol a circla c - -r d
2 Area ol a circle A » yi>
3. To find the diameter when given the er-
cumference d » C or C divided byV
M
4. To find ihe circumference when given the
radius C « 2 Vr
WORK THESE PROBLEMS:
t What i* the perimeter ol an isosceles triangle
lhal ha* two S-inch sides and on* 4-mch side?
2 Find the area ol a triangle whose attitude is
18 leet and whose base is 12 feet
3 In a right triangle the legs measure 3 leet end
4 leet What i* the length ol the hypotenuse’’
4 The diameter ol * circle is 14 inches Whai is
ihe circumference1'
5 The Brookses have a circular pool with a
center drain The distance from the dram to the
outer edge is 16 leet What is the area ol the
pool’
6 The Baileys plan to tenet their yard li it in
ihe shape ot an equilateral triangle On* side is
2S leet long How long will the entire lance be’
7. The littleHand in the park it 18 leet long by 6
leet wide The attendant plana to plant flower
seeds in the two leet which border the stand
What is the ares that will need seeding’
Study the instructional notes ana complete the exsms.
