Students will learn the roles of postulates, definitions, theorems, and precise geometric notation in the construction of more formal geometric proofs. They will apply the

Pythagorean theorem and the distance formula to calculate the perimeter and area of figures in the coordinate plane. They will use their knowledge of proportional reasoning to
