G RADE 7 M ATHEMATICS S TANDARDS Geometry Draw, construct, and describe geometrical figures and describe the relationships between them. Describe the two-dimensional figures that result from slicing three-dimensional figures, as in plane sections of right rectangular prisms and right rectangular pyramids. Solve real-life and mathematical problems involving angle measure, area, surface area, and volume.
