r: The distance from the center of a circle to any point on the circle is called the radius.

d: The distance across and through the center of a circle is called the diameter.

The diameter is always equal to twice the radius.

If the radius is 3, the diameter is 2 × 3, or 6.

The circumference of a circle is the distance all the way around the outside edge of the circle. In other words, circumference is the name for a circle's perimeter.

A long time ago an Egyptian mind took a rope and cut it equal to the distance through the trunk of a tree. He cut another rope equal to the distance around the trunk of the tree. The rope that equaled the distance around the trunk was three times as long! But wait! Not exactly! It was a little over three times. This magic number is called pi or π. It has the approximate value of 3.14.

The three angles inside a triangle always add up to 180°, no matter how the triangle is drawn.

PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM 

-A right angle triangle contains one angle that equals 90°.

the sides of a right triangle are always in a particular proportion which can be expressed by the formula A^2 + B^2 = C^2, in which A and B are the two shorter sides of the triangle, and C is the longer side opposite the 90-degree angle. This longer side is called the hypotenuse.

4 Rules of exponents
An exponent is shorthand for multiplication. The large number is called the base, and the little number is called the exponent.

*When you multiply numbers that have the same base, you simply add the exponents.
*When you divide numbers that have the same base, you simply subtract the bottom exponent from the top exponent.
*Anything to the zero power is 1.
*anything to the first power equals that number.

CROSS MULTIPLICATION

MATH

When two fractions have the same exact value, multiplying the numerators by the denominators will give the same answer.

for example:
8/12= 2/3
-these two fractions have the same exact value

8×3=24
12×2=24

This proves they are identical in value

To cross multiply is to go from this:
a/b = c/d

To this:
ad = bc

Knowing this simple fact is useful. With this we can use a technique called 'cross multiplication'. Cross multiplication has two uses
1. It can tell us which of two fractions is larger
2. It can help us solve variables or the missing piece of information in an equation

WHICH IS THE GREATER FRACTION?

Cross-multiplication is a handy math skill to know. You can use it for a few different purposes. For example, you can compare fractions and find out which is greater.

For example, suppose you want to find out which of the following three fractions is the greatest:

3/5   5/9   6/11

Cross-multiplication works only with two fractions at a time, so pick the first two:

3/5 cross multiply with 5/9

3×9=27
5×5=25

Because 27 is greater than 25, you know now that 3/5 is greater than 5/9. So you can throw out 5/9.

Now do the same thing for 3/5 and 6/11:

3/5 cross multiply with 6/11

3×11=33
6×5=30

Because 33 is greater than 30, 3/5 is greater than 6/11. Pretty straightforward, right?

SOLVING VARIABLES

If a 4ft tree cast an 8ft shadow, how long of a shadow does an 8ft tree cast?

4:8 = 8:x

4x = 8×8
4x = 64
x= 16

Remember the formula?
a:b = c:d

Which is:
ad = bc

Weighted mean

MATH

before we begin let's get in some relevant Hebrew vocabulary so that we are advancing our Hebraic education in every circumstance

Weighted Mean
MMu3a7 M5uQLaL ממוצע משוקלל

The weighted mean is used when numbers in a set are not all equally important. Those with more importance are given more weight when calculating the mean, or average. Here's how.

Let's say there are 4 tests in total for a certain class: Exam A, the Midterm Exam, Exam B, and the final Exam. Exam A and B may be worth only 20% each of your final grade, while the Midterm and Final Exams may each be worth 30% of your final grade. You happen to score the following on each:

Exam A-95
Midterm Exam-90
Exam B-92
Final Exam-87

To calculate your final grade for the class, you can't just take the mean (average), since the Midterm and Final exams have more weight than Exams A and B. So you must find the weighted mean. Start by writing the weights next to each corresponding item.

Exam A-95             20%
Midterm Exam-90 30%
Exam B-92              20%
Final Exam-87        30%

Now multiply each score by its weight and write that new value off to the right.

Exam A-95             20% = 1,900
Midterm Exam-90 30% = 2,700
Exam B-92              20& = 1,840
Final Exam-87        30% = 2,610

Add up both the final column and the weights column.

Exam A-95              20% = 1,900
Midterm Exam-90 30% = 2,700
Exam B-92              20& = 1,840
Final Exam-87        30% = 2,610
                                 100%   9,050

Now divide the total value by the total of the weights to get the weighted average.

9050÷100=90.5

Your final grade in class would be 90.5

In summary, you can calculate the weighted mean by following these steps:

STEP 1. Multiply your values by their respective weights
STEP 2. Add all your weights together and all your new values together
STEP 3. Divide the total new value by the total weight.

Percent
4aCuZ אחוז

FINDING PERCENTS OF A NUMBER

To find 10% of any number, all you have to do is move the decimal point of that number over one place to the left.

What is 10% of 30?
10% of 30 = 3

So how much is 20% of 30? That's easy. It's twice as much as 10 percent, or 6.

What is 20% of 520? 
10% of 520 = 52, so 20% of 520 = 104

To find 1 percent of any number, all you have to do is move the decimal point of that number over two places to the left.

1% of 4 = 0.04
1% of 520 = 5.2

In just the same way we found 20 percent by doubling 10 percent, we can now find 2 percent by doubling 1 percent.

What is 2% of 500?
1% of 500 = 5, so 2% of 500 = 2 × 5 = 10

Now, here's the really great part. We can combine these two techniques to find any percentage test writers can invent.

Let's find 23% of 600

Well, 10% of 600 = 60
So 20% of 600 = 2 × 60 = 120
And 1% of 600 = 6, so 3% of 600 = 18

So what is 23% of 600?
20% of 600 = 120
3% of 600 =18
120 + 18 = 138

CONVERTING PERCENTS TO DECIMALS

the short way to convert from a percentage to a decimal is by removing the percentage sign and moving the decimal point 2 places to the left.

Note: A percentage is just a fraction whose denominator is always 100.

To multiply decimals

Just follow these steps:

Step 1 Multiply normally, ignoring the decimal points.
Step 2 Then put the decimal point in the answer - it will have as many decimal places as the two original numbers combined.

To divide decimal numbers:

Step 1: If the divisor is not a whole number, move decimal point to right to make it a whole number and move decimal point in dividend the same number of places.

Step 2: Divide as usual. ...

Step 3: Put decimal point directly above decimal point in the dividend.

Step 4: Check your answer.

So 6.85 ÷ .5 = 13.7

FRACTION TO DECIMAL DECIMAL TO FRACTION

Cancel method
We can save work when multiplying fractions if we cancel first. Canceling is a way to simplify fractions before we multiply. Find one numerator and one denominator that are divisible by the same number. You must always cancel diagonally, never horizontally.
Dividing fractions

To divide one fraction by another, just invert the second fraction and multiply.

2/3 ÷ 3/4 is the same as 2/3 × 4/3 = 8/9

LEAST COMMON DENOMINATOR BOWTIE TECHNIQUE

Numerator
MoNeH מונה

Denominator 
M2aNeH מכנה

The denominator is the bottom number in a fraction.

It shows how many equal parts the item is divided into

You can't add fractions with different denominators:

So what do you do? How can they be added?

Answer: You need to make the denominators the same.


Here are the steps to follow:

STEP 1. Find the Least Common Multiple of the denominators (which is called the Least Common Denominator).
STEP 2. Change each fraction (using equivalent fractions) to make their denominators the same as the least common denominator. (Involves multiplying the top and bottom numbers).
STEP 3. Then add (or subtract) the fractions, as you wish!

Example: What is 1/6 + 7/15 ?

The Denominators are 6 and 15:

multiples of 6: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, ...
multiples 15: 15, 30, 45, 60, ...

***So the Least Common Multiple of 6 and 15 is 30.

Now let's try to make the denominators the same.

Note: what you do to the bottom of the fraction,
you must also do to the top

***When you multiply 6 × 5 you get 30, and when you multiply 15 × 2 you also get 30:

***Now we can do the addition by adding the top numbers:

5/30 + 14/30 = 19/30

The fraction is already as simple as it can be, so that is the answer.

DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY

Why Turn the Fraction Upside Down?

Because dividing is the opposite of multiplying!

So instead of dividing by a fraction, it is easier to turn that fraction upside down, then do a multiply.

If you can solve this problem you can work a cash register.

Customer buys something for $6.35 and he gives you $20.25

How do you give him the correct change?

Don't do it conventionally
$20.25-6.35
On a register it is the opposite. Start with 6.35-25=$6.10+(90)=$7+(3)=10+(10)=20
Answer $13.90

EXPLANATION 2

A cashier is able to gather the change in their hands as they calculate because they start with 6.35. Just subtract the 25¢cents from 35 now you got $6.10.... Now the equation begins. Pull 90¢ from drawer and you are at 7$, pull $3 from drawer and you are at $10, lastly pull $10 from drawer and you are at $20(we subtracted ¢25 earlier).... Giving the total of 13.90 without having to stop and use paper or a calculator.
