Golden Triangle

He noticed that facing him, was a wood panelled, silver door Otis elevator. On its top panel a reversed isosceles triangle direction indicator, which pointing down glowed with a soft florescent orange.The right, hand side panel. Sported a circular, black lift call button, backlit displaying a soft green halo. Before entering the elevator. Sheik Valsaud studied the

What makes up a pyramid? 12 lines, 5 faces, 4 triangles, 1 base, and 5 vertexes and in the case of the Great Pyramids of Giza about 2.3 million stone blocks that weigh an average of 2.5 to 15 tons. That according to the time it took to build them they would have had to place and set a stone every 2 to 2 and a half minutes. To put that in perspective some weigh as much or more than an armed military cargo truck. So, imagine dragging a cargo truck with nothing but some strong rope and some other people

shapes. A polyhedron is a three dimensional object composed of flat polygon sides typically connected at the edges (Wolfram 1999). The most common shape of modern soccer balls is called a truncated icosahedron. Icosahedron is a shape made up of 20 triangles. To create a more round object the icosahedron is truncated. Here, truncated applies to cutting off the edges which makes the icosahedron look more round ("Icosahedron," 2014). The truncated icosahedron has 32 total faces including 12 regular pentagons

To what extent does the globalization of drug trade benefit countries in the golden triangle and South America? The two sources I choose to evaluate was a letter to the president of Peru and a 335 page book about drug trafficking around the world. Both of these sources provide valuable information to my research question. The letter to the president of Peru was from H.E. Jose Antonio Garcia Belaunde who is the minister of foreign affairs in Peru. This letter was created at the General Debate

The building was created as a triangle since it would require less material and would be quicker to create than building a four sided building. The building stayed the same height through the sections and we felt that that would be the most stable since the building would be able to

examined several different methods, I was confused as to how a person could think of such strategies. This method was first derived by Bhaskara. I used this proof, because it best connects with the crime scene situation at hand. The use of multiple triangles and squares mimic the makeup of a room. Bhaskara’s Proof: I decided to manipulate Bhaskara’s method and make it more understandable for my usage. My interpretation

appealing which requires proportion, balance, and conjunction with its surroundings. This report looks at architecture and how trigonometry and mathematics have been used in developing St. Peter’s Basilica and the Pantheon through sectors and right triangle trigonometry. St. Peter’s Basilica is a late Renaissance church located in Vatican City built at the place of crucifixion of St. Peter the Emperor Constantine at request of pope St. Slyvester I. It was originally built from 315 A.D. – 349 A.D. but

advanced geometric constructions such as creating an equilateral triangle and a regular hexagon. I grasped the techniques quickly, and used my leisurely hours to practice. Many of the sheets of paper in my binder consist of perpendicular line bisectors, or angle copies. One eventful day, my geometry educator passed out a blank piece of paper, and told us to construct a square. Earlier in the week, we had learned to make an equilateral triangle and a regular hexagon. Prior to that lesson, we ascertained

Pythagoras of Samos is often described as the first pure mathematician. He is an extremely important figure in the development of mathematics yet we know little about his achievements. There is nothing that is truly accurate pertaining to Pythagoras's writings. Today Pythagoras is certainly a mysterious figure. Little is known of Pythagoras's childhood. Pythagoras's father was Mnesarchus, and his mother was Pythais. Mnesarchus was a merchant who came from Tyre. Pythais was a native of Samos. As

Compass and Straightedge: Basic Constructions and Limitations In Euclid’s Elements, Book 1, the very first proposition states, “To construct an equilateral triangle on a given finite straight-line.” (Heiberg, Fitzpatrick, Euclid, pg 8) This proposition is saying that it is possible to construct an equilateral triangle from a given segment. Euclid was able to perform this construction with just a straightedge and compass. As The Elements was published in 300 BC (Heiberg, Fitzpatrick, Euclid, pg 4)
