CHAPTER 1 - MEASUREMENT
Sec. 1.1 - Imperial Measures of Length
Imperial units are commonly used in the United States. Often building trades in Canada still commonly use these units. In this section we will look at how to convert between imperial units. This means you will learn how to convert between inches, feet, yards and miles. If you get stuck on this please bring your questions to class.

Sec 1.2 - Math Lab - Measuring Length and Distance
In this section we will be conducting a lab in class to give you a better understanding of what the length of an inch, a foot, a yard and a mile would be comparable to.

Sec 1.3 - Relating SI and Imperial Units
Now that you have a good understanding of how to convert between imperial units we will now work on converting imperial units to metric units. In Canada we use metric units so it is very likely that you will have to convert between imperial and metric. At the end of this section you should have a good understanding of how to convert between meteric and imperial.

Sec. 1.4 - Surface Areas of Right Pyramids and Right Cones
After completing this section you should be proficient in calculating the surface area of right pyramids and right cones. Remember that you can always look up your formulas on your formula sheets. You will also require a review of how to calculate Pythagorous, as a lot of the problems in this unit involve being able to solve right triangles for key information to finish the problem. Good luck and may the Math Force be with you!

Sec. 1.5 - Volumes of Right Pyramids and Right Cones
After completing this section you will have a better understanding of how to calculate volume for right pyramids and right cones. It is really important to remember that the height of a cone or pyramid that you require is from the center of the shape down (NOT ON THE SIDE OF THE SHAPE!!!). It is needed and is not always given to you. This means that you need to use Pythagorous to calculate it. (You can never have enough Pythagorous in your life!!) Have fun!

Sec. 1.6 - Surface Area and Volume of a Sphere
This section will teach you how to calculate the surface area and volume of a sphere. Remember that you can use your Math Present with all the formulas on it to help you. Also remember that radius of a circle is half of the diameter. You also should make note that a hemisphere is half of a sphere. To calculate its volume, calculate as if it where a full sphere and then divide it in half. Surface area of a hemisphere means calculating the surface area for a whole sphere and then dividing it in half, then add the area of the circle to include the top. Enjoy the spherical experience!!!

Sec. 1.7 - Solving Problems Involving Objects
In this section you will learn how to calculate the surface area and volume of composite shapes. This may require you to calculate the volume of a whole shape and then dividing it in half. You will also require Pythagorous again!
