(7)  Expressions, equations, and relationships. The student applies mathematical process standards to use geometry to solve problems. The student is expected to:

(A)  solve problems involving the volume of cylinders, cones, and spheres;

(B)  use previous knowledge of surface area to make connections to the formulas for lateral and total surface area and determine solutions for problems involving rectangular prisms, triangular prisms, and cylinders;

(C)  use the Pythagorean Theorem and its converse to solve problems; and

(D)  determine the distance between two points on a coordinate plane using the Pythagorean Theorem.
