Ch 7: Quadrilaterals

This chapter really explores the properties of the "special" quadrilaterals: trapezoids, parallelograms, rectangles, rhombuses, and squares. You will need to be able to prove all the properties as well as having them mentally available to use.

Parallel Lines (Flat and Curved Surfaces)

Chapter 6 is about Parallel Lines. Chapter 16 is about non-Euclidean surfaces (ie curved surfaces) and what what happens to parallel lines if the surface isn't flat (Euclidean). We will be putting them together to compare and contrast the uber-important, as yet unproven, Parallel Lines Postulate.
