6 2 TOPIC 1. VOLUMES, ARCS, SECTORS, ANGLES AND SIMILAR SHAPES By the end of this topic, you should have identified your strengths and areas for further revision. Read through the learning points before you attempt the assessments and go back to the Course Materials unit if you need more help. You should be able to: calculate the volume of a sphere, cone, pyramid, prism; calculate an unknown dimension given the volume of a solid; calculate the volume of composite solids; calculate the length of an arc; calculate the radius, diameter or angle given the length of the arc; calculate the area of a sector; calculate the radius, diameter or angle given the area of the sector; calculate the interior angles of a polygon; use the relationship in a circle between it s centre, a chord and a perpendicular bisector; identify the relationship between a radius and a tangent to a circle; identify the angle in a semi-circle; identify similar shapes; identify enlargement and reduction scale factors; use a scale factor to find an unknown length; work with similar triangles; identify an area scale factor and use it to find an unknown area; identify a volume scale factor and use it to calculate an unknown volume.

7 TOPIC 1. VOLUMES, ARCS, SECTORS, ANGLES AND SIMILAR SHAPES Learning points Volumes of solids Volume of a cuboid = lbh Volume of a cylinder = πr 2 h Volume of a cone = 1 3 πr2 h Volume of a pyramid = 1 3 Area of the base height Volume of a sphere = 4 3 πr3 Volume of a prism = area of the constant cross-section length You may need: Area of a Triangle = 1 2 bh Area of a Square = l 2 Area of a Rectangle = lb To find an unknown dimension on a solid shape when you know its volume: put the values you know into the formula including the volume rearrange or change the subject of the formula Arcs and sectors Length of an Arc = angle 360 π Diameter Area of a Sector = angle 360 π radius 2 To find an angle, radius or diameter when the length of an arc or the area of the sector is known: put the values you know into the formula; re-arrange or change the subject of the formula. Angles in a polygon An angle at the centre of an n sided polygon = 360 n An interior angle is an angle at a vertex of a polygon. A star formed in a polygon will also have a smaller polygon within it. Angle properties Complementary angles add up to 90. Supplementary angles add up to 180.

8 4 TOPIC 1. VOLUMES, ARCS, SECTORS, ANGLES AND SIMILAR SHAPES Vertically opposite angles are equal (look for an "X" shape). Corresponding angles are equal (look for an "F" shape). Alternate angles are equal (look for a "Z" shape). Angle properties in circles A triangle formed by 2 radii and a chord is an isosceles triangle. The angle in a semi-circle is a right angle. A tangent is at right angles to the radius at the point of contact. Similar shapes Congruent shapes are an exact copy of each other. Congruent shapes have a length scale factor of 1. Similar shapes are an enlargement or reduction of each other. If two shapes are similar then: pairs of corresponding angles are equal; and the ratios of pairs of corresponding sides are equal. An enlargement scale factor is greater than 1 e.g. 5, 22 / 7. A reduction scale factor is less than 1 e.g. 1 /2, 12 / 25. If two triangles have equal angles they are equiangular. Similar triangles If two triangles are similar then: pairs of corresponding angles are equal; or the ratios of pairs of corresponding sides are equal. Triangles which are equiangular are similar. In similar triangles: corresponding sides are opposite corresponding angles; there are corresponding, alternate and/or vertically opposite angles. Area scale factor Area scale factor = (length scale factor) 2 Volume scale factor Volume scale factor = (length scale factor) 3
