Angles: Objects In The Real World

that you may have learned in an earlier course and give you an overview of what you will study this year.

What is a ratio?  What are the different ways of expressing the relationship of two amounts?  What information does a ratio provide?

rudimentary ideas about geometry and other mathematical evidences we know to be true. Ancient Greeks built some of the first planetary models while studying astronomy and trying to both understand and explain the universe and all it contains (khanacademy.org).

•What are some new topics you might want to learn about in the coming semester?

Engineering was applied by having to have precise calculations. We had to plan out the plane before even creating it. We had to use rulers and calculators in order to measure the lengths of each side on the plane and then get the area of the plane. This honed our skills

One example that is very useful today are road systems. There is a saying that “ All roads lead to Rome” (Doc. 3). The ancient Roman army used roads to move soldiers quickly from area to area. Also, traders used roads to sell

This question is similar to my mini research paper, however it involves quadrilaterals instead of triangles. Topic requires knowledge heavy in geometry and algebra, such as the properties of both a quadrilateral and a circle. Formulas for areas, angles and lengths for a quadrilaterals and circles would be heavy used throughout. To solve for this question I would need different create different cases to use solve, such as the number of tangents touching the circumference of the circle or just different length of the quadrilateral. Using brute force to solve these cases, taking away variable and adding variables if necessary in order so that I have enough to solve. I would be also try to

For closure I would like to call on students at random and ask them what we learned today, if they cannot answer I will call on another student to help them out with their answer. I will then give a quick preview of what we will learn tomorrow and then connect how we can use this information in our everyday lives

A topic that I studied at GCSE and AS Level was population. The study of population and the impacts of our ever-changing world demographics links neatly to the best adventure of my life - visiting China. Studying China's One Child Policy including the geopolitical effects of the Policy allowed me to recognise how people adapt to problems and how society shapes our world. Although, another topic that I have particularly enjoyed throughout my studies is Plate Tectonics due to frequent and recent events relating to this topic, for example the 2011 Earthquake and Tsunami in Japan which devastated this rich and wealthy nation. Geographical events, such as natural disasters dominate the news and prove that Geography enhances understanding of the

When you enter this course, you are expected to already have some knowledge on Geometry, Trigonometry, and Algebra. Geometry will be used to find the area or volume of a graph, which is its integral. In Trigonometry, you must be comfortable with sin, cos, and tan functions because they will appear often. You must also know the trigonometric identities and unit circle if you want to speed right through these sorts of problems. Out of the three, I must

The concept I believe I mastered well was derivatives. I enjoyed derivatives a lot. Even though it was challenging and it had many equations to remember, I managed to do good. For some reason, even though

Whether or not a person has obtained a job, everyone has had a first day. In the short story "Orientation" Daniel Orozco tells of the encounter of a new employee being given a tour of the business. This story has a professional narration shining a light on the ruled based environment the employee is entering. The tour does not only entail the ordinary findings in an office, but it comes with gritty details of the other employee’s personal lives. Orozco uses setting, characterization, and point of view to show how an authoritarianism styled workplace can cause a lack of individuality that would make an employee want to engage in the rumor mill.

What this all boils down to is that if you know the ratios for baking, you can whip things up easily without a recipe. And if you want to scale a recipe down, you can do that too. Let?s use cookies as an example here, because they?re so important in life. The ratio for cookies is 3:2:1, flour to sugar to fat. If you wanted to make a big batch, you would combine three cups of flour, two cups of sugar, and a cup of butter. But if you wanted to treat yourself to a ?Cookies For Dinner Tuesday,? you could still use that same 3:2:1 ratio and scale down to 3/4 cup of flour, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1/4 cup butter. And there you have it; some simple math can help you excel at baking and eating delicious cookies.

Golden Ratio is found by dividing a line into two parts so that the longer part divided by the smaller part equals the whole length divided by the longer part. Golden ratio is very similar to pi because it is an infinite number and it goes on forever. It is usually rounded to around 1.618. The formula for golden ratio is a/b = (a+b)/b. It has been around for a long time so it is not known who made up the golden ratio. Since the golden ratio is used all around the world it is known in many names such as the golden mean, phi, the divine proportion, extreme and mean proportion, etc. Golden ratio was used in arts from the beginning of people and still is used today. It has been used in architecture, math, sculptures and nature. Euclid talks about it in his book elements. Golden ratio is also used in Fibonacci numbers and Lucas numbers. Golden ratio also comes in the form of a rectangle.
