Archimedes is regarded as one of greatest mathematicians and inventors of his time. He was born in Syracuse‚ Sicily around the year 287BC. Archimedes acquired his education in Alexandria‚ Egypt‚ but spent most of his life in Sicily. When in Sicily‚ he stayed in or near Syracuse and did nothing but experiment and research. Archimedes made many contributions to mathematics. One of the more important discoveries Archimedes made was he found a way to measure the areas and volumes of objects that are

Rhetorical Triangle Discussion Board PSP111-1001B-03 Presentation Essentials Rhetorical Triangle is the active correlation between the speaker‚ the audience‚ and the situation of a presentation or speech. The rhetorical triangle determines the success of a presentation or speech. When a speech executes the three primary elements of the speaker‚ the audience‚ and the situation in balance the Rhetorical Triangle is effectively complete. It is important for a speaker to give equal relevance to

IA Task I Introduction and purpose of task: The purpose of this task is to investigate the positions of points in intersecting circles and to discover the various relationships between said circles. Circle C1 has center O and radius r. Circle C2 has center P and radius OP. Let A be one of the points of intersection of C1 and C2. Circle C3 has center A and radius r (therefore circles C1 and C3 are the same size). The point P’ (written P prime) is the intersection of C3 with OP. This is shown in

Best Rubik’s Cube I know what you’re thinking… “Are there different kinds of Rubik’s Cube?” The answer to that question is a resounding YES! There is a variety of Rubik’s Cube of different sizes. Apart from the usual 3 x 3 x 3 Rubik’s Cube‚ there’s a 2 x 2 x 2‚ 4 x 4 x 4‚ 5x 5 x 5‚ 6 x 6 x 6‚ 7 x 7 x 7 Rubik’s Cube as well. Heck‚ there’s even a pyramid and dodecahedron shaped Rubik’s Cube. However‚ if you can’t solve the regular Rubik’s cube‚ you might have a headache trying to solve the other Rubik’s

. Exercise: Week Six Concept Check The theorem works In any right triangle. A key observation is that a and b are at right angles. Movement in one direction has no impact on the other. The Pythagorean Theorem can be used with any shape and for any formula that squares a number. The Pythagorean Theorem lets you use find the shortest path distance between orthogonal directions. So it’s not really about right triangles — it’s about comparing “things” moving at right angles. The

Introduction to Geographical Information Systems 1. Intro to GIS 1.1 What is a map? A map is a two dimensional model of the real world. It can be regarded as a statistic geographical database printed on paper. real world. 1.2 What is the most important entity in a GIS? Link. A link is required to connect attribute date to geometrical data. Without this the system will not operate properly 1.3 What is the difference between “spatial data” and “none spatial data”?

Treasure Hunt: Finding the Values of Right Angle Triangles This final weeks course asks us to find a treasure with two pieces of a map. Now this may not be a common use of the Pythagorean Theorem to solve the distances for a right angled triangle but it is a fun exercise to find the values of the right angle triangle. Buried treasure: Ahmed has half of a treasure map‚which indicates that the treasure is buried in the desert 2x + 6 paces from Castle Rock. Vanessa has the other half of the map

Shapes Everything around us is made of shapes‚ from the smallest type of micro-organisms to the biggest structure you will ever see in your life. They are the faces of the 3D solids we see around us‚ either being there in its own‚ or being a mix between two or more polygons. Shapes resemble different things and delivers different thoughts when looking or passing by them through the day. Putting these shapes or joining the to form volumes gives as a huge number of volume‚ they could be in the form
