Diagrams in Geometry: Circle

A diagram is a two-dimensional geometric symbolic representation of information according to some visualization technique. Sometimes, the technique uses a three-dimensional visualization which is then projected onto the two-dimensional surface. The word graph is sometimes used as a synonym for diagram. The ability to read and interpret diagrams is crucial in geometry. Diagrams are used not only to illustrate a problem. These are also used in proving theorems and describing real-life situations. Here are some examples. Example: A circle is a geometrical shape with all its points being equidistant from the center. Look at the diagram below. The distance from any point to the center is called the radius. In the circle below, OC, OA and OB are the radii (plural of radius). The distance across a circle passing through the center is called the diameter. In the circle below it’s AOB. A diameter is essentially, twice as long as the radius. The distance between any point in the circle, is called the chord. This means that the diameter, radius and any other lines connecting two points across a circle are chords. In the circle below it’s AOB, OC, OA and OB, DE and AOB. The center of this circle is O. The distance around a circle is called the circumference. In the circle below, it’s m.

Study the circle below and answer the following questions. The line AOB is 24 cm.

Cite all the chords that isn’t a diameter. Answer: All the lines connecting two points in a circle such as the AO, RO, SO, DE, AO, BO. AOB is the diameter. What is the radius measure of the circle? Answer: The diameter, AOB is 24 cm. The radius is half the diameter: 24 / 2 = 12cm Which chord is not neither a radius nor a diameter? Answer: DE because it doesn’t pass through the center. What is the circumference of the circle? Answer: m.

Linear Equations with Three Variables

We will now learn how to solve linear equations in three variables. The system of linear equations is generally in the form a1x+b1 y+c1z = d1 a2x+b2 y+c2z = d2 a3x+b3 y+c3z = d3 To solve these equations, we select a variable, either x or y or z (usually z is chosen), and eliminate it from the system of equations. We then obtain simultaneous linear equations in two variables x and y, which we solve as we did in section 2.3. After obtaining the solutions to x and y, we substitute these values in any one of the original equations to obtain the value of z. Consider these examples.

Example 1

Solve the linear equations. x+2y+2z=11         ----------- (1) 2x+y+z=7             ------------ (2) 3x+4y+z=14         ------------ (3) To eliminate z from (1), (2) and (3), we multiply equations 2 and 3 by 2. 2∗ (2x+y+z=7) 2∗ (3x+4y+z=14)    4x+2y+2z=14        ------- (4)    6z+8y+2z=28        ------- (5) Subtracting 1 from 4 and 1 from 5, we get 4x+ 2y+ 2z=14 -x ± 2y ± 2z=-11 ____________          3x= 3     ∴    x=3/3            x=1 6x+ 8y + 2z =28 -x ± 2y ± 2z =-11 ___________    5x+6y = 17 Substitute x=1 in this equation.            5∗1+6y = 17            6y =17-5            6y =12              y =12/6              y =2       Substitute x=1, y=2 in equation 1.    x+2y+2z = 11 1+2 ∗2+2z = 11      1+4+2z = 11              2z = 11-5              2z = 6                z = 6/2                z = 3 Solution set = {(1,2,3)}.

Five reasons for the growing popularity of Online Tutoring

Internet has brought about sweeping changes in almost all aspects of human life, and education is no exception. Online tutoring is a revolutionary development in the field of education. More and more students are turning to online tutoring, and the number of qualified, capable tutors showing interest in offering online tutoring services is on the rise as well. Let’s take a look at key factors contributing to the success of this new-age mode of education:
  

1.     Comfort: The topmost reason for the popularity of online tutoring is the fact that it allows students to learn from the comfort of their home, at their preferred time. In today’s competitive world where optimal utilization of time is imperative for success, online tutoring comes as a boon for students as it helps them save travel and wait time, allowing more room for studies and extra-curricular activities. Online tutoring is also equally convenient for teachers as it enables them to share their knowledge and get rewarded without having to take the pains of opening a physical tuition center. So it creates a win-win situation for students as well as educators, not to mention the parents who no longer have to pick up/drop the kids from coaching centers or worry about their safety.

2.     Cost effectiveness: Traditional classroom education has become insanely expensive in recent years. In addition to the actual tuition fees, people also need to shell out money for travel and other incidental costs. Online education is quite inexpensive compared to in-person tutoring as the student only has to pay for what he or she needs – be it an entire year’s syllabus or a single question from a specific lesson. Most companies offer flexible payment plans based on the subject and period for which the student needs tuitions. This, along with the myriad of other benefits it offers, makes online tutoring a smart choice for today’s students.

3.     Individual attention: Most online tutoring classes are 1-to-1, because of which the student gets the undivided attention of the teacher. This helps the student as well as teacher to focus better during the session(s). Statistics show that 90% of students taking online classes have shown an improvement not only in their grades but also confidence levels. Many teachers with experience in both offline and online tutoring comment that online tutoring gives them greater satisfaction as it allows them to understand the student’s needs and tailor the classes accordingly, leading to astonishing results.

4.     Technology: Online tutoring companies use advanced learning management systems that make the learning process simpler, intuitive and more effective. The virtual whiteboard creates a life-like experience while the attached chat box facilitates smooth communication between the tutors and the students. Parents periodically receive assessment reports that help them keep track of the child’s progress. The online feedback mechanism facilitates constant improvement and ensures high quality education.

5.     Expertise: One of the best things about virtual learning is its ability to transcend geographical barriers and put students in touch with the brightest minds in the business, regardless of their physical location. People transferring their knowledge through online tutoring include well-qualified individuals such as PHDs in various disciplines, teachers with proven training abilities and professionals with hands-on experience with various tools/industries. Tutors choose their assignments based on their area of expertise and interest. The companies, from their end, also verify the profiles and assign tasks based on the skill set of each tutor. Most companies even allow the student to look at the profiles of tutors and choose their tutor themselves. All these factors mean that the likelihood of finding that perfect Guru is much higher with online tutoring.
