Math 8 Chapter 4 Lesson 1: Rectangle
1. Theoretical Summary
1.1. Rectangular
Define: A rectangular box is a space shape with 6 faces that are all rectangles.
- A rectangular box has 6 faces, 8 vertices, and 12 edges.
- The two faces facing each other are considered to be the base of the rectangular box, the other faces are called the side
1.2. Cube
A cube is a rectangular box with 6 faces that are all squares.
1.3. Plane and line
- Through three noncollinear points define one and only one plane.
- Through two intersecting lines define one and only one plane.
- If a line passes through two distinct points of a plane, then every point of that line is in the plane.
2. Illustrated exercise
2.1. Exercise 1
Observe the rectangular box \(ABCD.A’B’C’D’\). Name the faces, vertices, and sides of a rectangular box.
Solution guide
Faces: \(ABCD, A’B’C’D’, ABB’A’\), \(CDD’C’, ADD’A’, BCC’B’\).
Vertices: \(A, B, C, D, A’, B’, C’, D’\).
Edges: \(AB, BC, CD, DA, A’B’, B’C’, C’D’,\)\(\, D’A’, AA’, BB’, CC’, DD’ \).
2.2. Exercise 2
The dimensions of the rectangle \(ABCD{A_1}{B_1}{C_1}{D_1}\) are \(DC = 5cm, CB = 4cm, BB_1= 3cm\). How many centimeters are the lengths of \(DC_1\) and \(CB_1\)?
Solution guide
Since \(ABCD. {A_1}{B_1}{C_1}{D_1}\) is a rectangular box, \(DC{C_1}{D_1};CB{B_1}{C_1}\) is a rectangle.
Derive \(CC_1=BB_1=3cm\)
\(\Delta DC{C_1}\) is square at \(C\), so applying the Pythagorean theorem we have:
\(\eqalign{
& D{C_1} = \sqrt {D{C^2} + C{C_1}^2} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\; = \sqrt {{5^2} + {3^2}} = \sqrt {34} \,\,\left( {cm} \right) \cr} \)
\(∆CBB_1\) is square at \(B\), so applying the Pythagorean theorem we have:
\(\eqalign{
& C{B_1} = \sqrt {C{B^2} + B{B_1}^2} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\;\, = \sqrt {{4^2} + {3^2}} = \sqrt {25} = 5( cm) \cr} \)
