Problem statement:
What you are trying to find is how many rebounds and in what corner will a pool ball land. Each shot will start at the lower left corners and will always start moving at a 45 degree angle. The table is a rectangle with pockets in each of the four corners.The pool table has whole number dimensions. I am trying to figure out the patterns or formulas for the pool table.
Process:
I first started making squares and rectangles on a graph paper, and did this in a group of three. Then I started drawing lines at a 45 degree angle, if they hit one of the sides of the wall then I would keep on drawing the lines at a 45 degree angle until the ball would go into one of the pockets. If you wouldn’t keep on drawing lines until

But the one thing that I didn’t quite get to is the super solution but all of my mini solutions work for all sorts of rectangles. My solutions were two of the same numbers always equal zero. I know that this works because if you do a 6 by 6 you would get 0 rebounds. A number and one are always the number subtracted by one. If you do a 4 by 1 you would get 3 rebounds. If the dimensions can be reduced to ½ then the rebound will be one. For example, an 8 by 4 has one rebound. If the dimensions have a two in it, then the other number is the number of rebounds that you have. For example, If you had a 7 by 2 there would be 7 rebounds. You take the first dimension and add it to the second dimension and subtract it by 2. This one works for most of them but not all of them. For example, if you had a 9 by 7 then there would be 14 rebounds. The ball never lands in the corner, it was shot from. I looked at all the pictures that I drew to figure out the formulas and noticed that the corner the ball was hit from, never ever landed in the corner that it was hit from. Finally, if there are 0 rebounds then the ball will land in the corner diagonal from the corner it was shot. I figured this out by looking at the rebounds and pictures that I drew for the 0 rebounds. Those were all of the formulas and patterns that I found. This is a one by one which has 0
I break the stillness of the gym as I begin to pound the ball into the hardwood floor knowing that it will not go any where except back to my hand. When it does, I hear the impact of the basketball meeting my fingertips, and feel the smooth, bumpy surface of the basketball sending a shock from my fingertips to my hand. Each bounce of the ball makes a sound heard distinctively in the silent stillness. I then begin to dribble the ball to the end of the court. I quickly moved toward the far
There's fifteen seconds left in the game, and we're down one. It’s summer league game, but there is a large crowd of red and black screaming their support. The crowd is nervously sitting on the edge of their seats, waiting to see the outcome. The tall, player from the other team, with sweaty hair matted to her forehead shoots the ball, and it clangs off of the rim into Brooke's awaiting hands. With lightening speed the orange ball hits Ally's open hands before finally landing in mine. I pound the bright ball up the floor and towards the waiting basket. Planting my right foot I push off the ground for a layup. As my body connects with the opposing player, knee to knee, I hear the high-pitched sound of the referee's whistle. With a sickening
Rules of the game of basketball. Basketball is a team sport. Two teams of five players each try to score by shooting a ball through a hoop elevated 10 feet above the ground. The game is played on a rectangular floor called the court, and there is a hoop at each end. The court is divided into two main sections by the mid-court line. If the offensive team puts the ball into play behind the mid-court line, it has ten seconds to get the ball over the mid-court line. If it doesn 't, then the defense gets the ball. Once the offensive team gets the ball over the mid-court line, it can no longer have possession of the ball in the area in back of the
To begin, we were introduced to the question, “Where on the court can you make a shot from?”. In order to solve this question, we plugged our equation into Desmos, examined where our equation could be shot from, and found an area on the court where we could continuously make the shot. The solution we came to was, if we stand 15 feet away from the hoop and shoot at a height of 21 feet, then we will be successful with every shot made.
To start our project we sketched out our design, and we wrote a description of how we thought it was going to work. In our description we explained how we wanted our design to work. First, we taped a long piece of foam to the wall, an inclined plane. The ball was then going to roll down a PVC pipe. A bouncy ball was then placed
After a bit of thinking, we realized that shapes that were a scale factor of another have the same number of bounces, so for this to work, you need to reduce the numbers as if they were a fraction. 9/6 would be reduced to 3/2. Using this, we were able to create a formula that works for everything as long as they are reduced. Here it is: N + X - 2.This works for all reduced
We used cardstock of different colors for the hexagons and pentagons. We used 5 cm for the length of each polygon side because that is the approximate length of the polygons in my soccer ball. To draw the polygons in the cardstock we used a ruler, a compass, a pencil to draw the lines, and scissors to cut out the polygons. The 3 main steps
Once we got the material the following day we gathered up and started working on our project. We had to trace letters in the board and after we traced the words we had to paint the words. and make sure everything was good. We had to wait a day and let the paint dry
Retrieve the Kings and insert them as a face-up block into the center of the deck. As you square, your right hand grasps the deck by the ends. This frees your left hand to pinch the inner left corner as in Photo. Show the deck and gesture momentarily with your right hand. Now, place the deck into your right hand in dealing grip.
The ball gain speed and accelerates as it goes does the second track. It changes its direction to the right. The ball stops for a second as it hits the clothes pins clipped to the third cardboard track which acts like a barrier so that the ball does not descend continuously to the right and hit the floor. It decelerates for a second then gain speed.
The next day I’m back at the rec and I reserved a pool table. It had been a while since I played and i still wasn’t very good at it. I forgot how to set up the spheres in the right order. There has to be a pattern: stripes,
ball would roll and how many rebounds it would take to roll in a pocket for
block, my size, place and way facing block to make sure the game doesn’t break when it starts.
Set 10 nickels and pennies for each side on the 2 lines at the end of each side, and each player keep 4 nickels and pennies to resurrect if need.
For an instance, a player wanted to get the ball on the other side of the court, in which they have distance of 94 ft (distance between the ball and the person or the length of the court), in order for him to get the ball, he must take the half distance which is 47 ft, before he take the 47 ft, he must travel the half of it which is 23.5. But before you travel this, you must take first the 11.75 ft distance. In order to reach the 11.75 ft, you must take the half of it which is 5.88. Before you reach this distance, you must take 2.94 ft of
