Apply trigonometry to problem situations involving triangles
There are formulas for calculating the surface areas and volumes of regular
shapes. When the linear size of a shape changes by some factor, its area
and volume change disproportionately: area in proportion to the square
of the factor, and volume in proportion to its cube. Properties of an object
that depend on its area or volume also change disproportionately. (2 of

Deduce properties of, and relationships between, figures from given
assumptions
Geometric shapes and relationships can be described in terms of symbols
and numbers -and vice versa. For example, the position of any point on
a surface can be specified by two numbers; a graph represents all the values
that satisfy an equation; and if two equations have to be satisfied at
the same time, the values that satisfy them both will be found where their
graphs intersect. (3 of 4)

Identify congruent and similar figures using transformations
Different ways to map a curved surface (like the earth's) onto a flat surface
have different advantages. (4 of 4)
