StudyPug Topic

CC.HSG.CO.A.1

Know precise definitions of angle, circle, perpendicular line, parallel line, and line segment, based on the undefined notions of point, line, distance along a line, and distance around a circular arc.

CC.HSG.CO.A.2

Represent transformations in the plane using, e.g., transparencies and geometry software; describe transformations as functions that take points in the plane as inputs and give other points as outputs. Compare transformations that preserve distance and angle to those that do not.

CC.HSG.CO.A.3

Given a rectangle, parallelogram, trapezoid, or regular polygon, describe the rotations and reflections that carry it onto itself.

CC.HSG.CO.B.6

Use geometric descriptions of rigid motions to transform figures and to predict the effect of a given rigid motion on a given figure; given two figures, use the definition of congruence in terms of rigid motions to decide if they are congruent.

CC.HSG.CO.B.7

Use the definition of congruence in terms of rigid motions to show that two triangles are congruent if and only if corresponding pairs of sides and corresponding pairs of angles are congruent.

CC.HSG.CO.B.8

Explain how the criteria for triangle congruence (ASA, SAS, and SSS) follow from the definition of congruence in terms of rigid motions.

CC.HSG.CO.C.10

Prove theorems about triangles.

CC.HSG.CO.C.11

Prove theorems about parallelograms.

CC.HSG.CO.D.12

Make formal geometric constructions with a variety of tools and methods.

CC.HSG.CO.D.13

Construct an equilateral triangle, a square, and a regular hexagon inscribed in a circle.

CC.HSG.SRT.A.1

Verify experimentally the properties of dilations given by a center and a scale factor.

CC.HSG.SRT.A.2

Given two figures, use the definition of similarity in terms of similarity transformations to decide if they are similar; explain using similarity transformations the meaning of similarity for triangles as the equality of all corresponding pairs of angles and the proportionality of all corresponding pairs of sides.

CC.HSG.SRT.B.5

Use congruence and similarity criteria for triangles to solve problems and to prove relationships in geometric figures.

CC.HSG.SRT.C.6

Understand that by similarity, side ratios in right triangles are properties of the angles in the triangle, leading to definitions of trigonometric ratios for acute angles.

CC.HSG.SRT.C.7

Explain and use the relationship between the sine and cosine of complementary angles.

CC.HSG.C.A.1

Prove that all circles are similar.

CC.HSG.C.A.2

Identify and describe relationships among inscribed angles, radii, and chords.

CC.HSG.C.A.3

Construct the inscribed and circumscribed circles of a triangle, and prove properties of angles for a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle.

CC.HSG.C.A.4

Construct a tangent line from a point outside a given circle to the circle.

CC.HSG.C.B.5

Derive using similarity the fact that the length of the arc intercepted by an angle is proportional to the radius, and define the radian measure of the angle as the constant of proportionality; derive the formula for the area of a sector.

CC.HSG.GPE.A.1

Derive the equation of a circle of given center and radius using the Pythagorean Theorem; complete the square to find the center and radius of a circle given by an equation.

CC.HSG.GPE.A.2

Derive the equation of a parabola given a focus and directrix.

CC.HSG.GPE.A.3

Derive the equations of ellipses and hyperbolas given the foci, using the fact that the sum or difference of distances from the foci is constant.

CC.HSG.GPE.B.5

Prove the slope criteria for parallel and perpendicular lines and use them to solve geometric problems.

CC.HSG.GPE.B.6

Find the point on a directed line segment between two given points that partitions the segment in a given ratio.

CC.HSG.GPE.B.7

Use coordinates to compute perimeters of polygons and areas of triangles and rectangles, e.g., using the distance formula.

CC.HSG.GMD.A.1

Give an informal argument for the formulas for the circumference of a circle, area of a circle, volume of a cylinder, pyramid, and cone.

CC.HSG.GMD.A.3

Use volume formulas for cylinders, pyramids, cones, and spheres to solve problems.

CC.HSG.GMD.B.4

Identify the shapes of two-dimensional cross-sections of three-dimensional objects, and identify three-dimensional objects generated by rotations of two-dimensional objects.

CC.HSG.MG.A.1

Use geometric shapes, their measures, and their properties to describe objects.

CC.HSG.MG.A.2

Apply concepts of density based on area and volume in modeling situations.

CC.HSA.SSE.A.1

Interpret expressions that represent a quantity in terms of its context.

CC.HSA.SSE.B.3

Choose and produce an equivalent form of an expression to reveal and explain properties of the quantity represented by the expression.

CC.HSA.CED.A.1

Create equations and inequalities in one variable and use them to solve problems. Include equations arising from linear and quadratic functions, and simple rational and exponential functions.

CC.HSA.CED.A.2

Create equations in two or more variables to represent relationships between quantities; graph equations on coordinate axes with labels and scales.

CC.HSA.CED.A.3

Represent constraints by equations or inequalities, and by systems of equations and/or inequalities, and interpret solutions as viable or non-viable options in a modeling context.

CC.HSA.CED.A.4

Rearrange formulas to highlight a quantity of interest, using the same reasoning as in solving equations.

CC.HSA.REI.C.7

Solve a simple system consisting of a linear equation and a quadratic equation in two variables algebraically and graphically.

CC.HSS.ID.B.6

Represent data on two quantitative variables on a scatter plot, and describe how the variables are related.

South Dakota Geometry: What Students Learn

Geometry is one of the most important high school math courses for South Dakota students. It builds logical reasoning and spatial skills that support future coursework in algebra, calculus, and science. StudyPug covers every Geometry topic aligned to South Dakota Math Standards, so students always know exactly where to find help.

Key Topics in South Dakota High School Geometry

  • Transformations: Rotations, reflections, translations, and dilations in the coordinate plane
  • Congruence and Similarity: Triangle congruence (ASA, SAS, SSS) and similarity transformations
  • Geometric Proofs: Proofs about lines, angles, triangles, and parallelograms

How StudyPug Helps South Dakota Geometry Students

Every topic in South Dakota high school Geometry is broken into short, focused video lessons. Students can watch a lesson, pause to take notes, and replay any part they find challenging. After watching, they can practice with problems that mirror what they see in class and on assessments.

Whether a student is stuck on a proof, confused about trigonometric ratios, or trying to understand circle theorems, StudyPug has a lesson ready. Parents can track progress, and students can move at their own pace — faster through topics they know, slower where they need more time.

Aligned to South Dakota Math Standards

All Geometry content on StudyPug follows South Dakota Math Standards. Topics cover the full scope of high school Geometry, from foundational definitions of points, lines, and angles all the way through conic sections, coordinate proofs, and three-dimensional modeling. Students preparing for the SBAC assessment will find every relevant concept covered.
