Standard 3:  The student uses geometric concepts and procedures in a variety of situations.

Benchmark 1:  The student recognizes geometric figures, and applies, compares, and justifies the properties of geometric figures in a variety of situations.

Indicator 2:  The student formulates and solves real-world problems by applying properties of geometric figures.

     For the purpose of assessing this indicator on the Kansas Assessment the student is expected to be able to:

• Recognize, explain and compare parallel line properties including angle relationships created by a transversal.
• Apply the Pythagorean theorem to determine if a triangle is a right triangle or to find a missing side of a right triangle.
• Recognize and apply properties of corresponding parts of congruent and similar figures to find missing sides.
• Apply angle and side properties of squares, rectangles, triangles, trapezoids, and parallelograms such as:  the opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal and parallel; a right triangle has one angle which is 90⁰; or the sum of the angles of a triangle equals 180^o.
• Use symbols and definitions for perpendicular, parallel, triangle, and right angle.
• Determine the radius or diameter of a circle.
