MTH 202 · Final Exam (Minimal) Review
CHAPTER 8
Be able to count the vertices, edges, and faces of 3D shapes.
Be able to determine angle measures given a diagram (straight
line 180, vertical angles, parallel postulate, triangle sum theorem).
Be able to classify the relationships between triangles and
quadrilaterals using Venn diagrams (this involves knowing the
definitions).
Know the definition of circle/sphere and be able to use them in
problems.
Be able to do basic constructions with straightedge and compass
(e.g., perpendicular bisector, angle bisector, equilateral triangle,
rhombus).
Recall the Platonic Solids.
o#3 on pg 412-413, #4 on pg 423, #14 on pg 437, #4 on pg 442-443.
CHAPTER 9
Know everything about translations, reflections, and rotations (and don’t forget
glide reflections, either).
Be comfortable with all different types of symmetry.
Understand the triangle congruence conditions, and be aware of situations that do
not guarantee triangle congruence.
Be able to prove a result using congruent triangles.
Be able to solve similarity problems (scale factor, relative sizes, set-up-a-
proportion).
o#3 on pg 467, #9a on pg 468, #4 on pg 482, #1 on pg 491, #4 on pg 509,
also practice proofs from the Extended 9.3 PDF available on the class
website.
