G.GMD.1: An Informal Exploration of Geometric Formulas: Circles, Cylinders, Pyramids, and Cones
Grade: Geometry
Domain: GMD: Geometric Measurement and Dimension
Standard Description
Give an informal argument for the formulas for the circumference of a circle, area of a circle, volume of a cylinder, pyramid, and cone. Use dissection arguments, Cavalieri’s principle, and informal limit arguments.
Domain Description
Present a casual explanation for the formulas determining the circumference and area of a circle, as well as the volume of a cylinder, pyramid, and cone. Utilize dissection arguments, Cavalieri's principle, and basic limit arguments in your explanations.
Similarly, explain the formulas for the volume of a sphere and other solid figures using Cavalieri’s principle. Solve issues using these volume formulas for cylinders, pyramids, cones, and spheres.
Recognize the forms of two-dimensional sections of three-dimensional objects. Also, determine the three-dimensional objects created by rotating two-dimensional objects.
