Supersize Me (Pizza Blog) 11.6

Pizza, Pizza, Pizza! How incredibile, but it can be quite the rip off. (But that is another rant.) In this blog, I found whether a 12 inch pizza for 9 bucks, is a better deal (or nah) than a 22 inch pizza for 20$. I found that $1 for the 12 inch pizza bought you 13 square inches, while 1$ for the 22 inch pizza bought you 19 square inches, making the bigger pizza the better deal.


Final Reflection

Nate's Point of View on Geometry.

This year in geometry was a great experience filled with learning and shape drawing. My geometer became my best friend, but I will hopefully never have to talk to it again after finals. I feel as if I have learned a lot through all the units, and I knew I grew because the doctor said I have grown 3.5 inches this year. I still feel like I could polish my skills of finding surface area, but I feel as if my volume skills are quite impressive. My favorite blog post was the math safari. I am proud of how I have done on tests this year, but feel as if I could have paid more attention sometimes. The nicest thing I did for someone was when I didn't bully Liam and when I didn't thrown paper airplanes at Marco; however, I was sick that day. I think the best advice to give to incoming ninth graders for geometry would be to make sure to draw as many shapes as possible as often as possible.


He hates these cans! This image really captures the year in math because we created cans and cans are cylinders and cylinders are prisms and prisms can have there volume and surface discovered, and i V and SA can be discovered, then it was made of shapes, and if it was made of shapes, it can be drawn as shapes, and if it can be drawn as shapes, it is geometry, and if it is geometry it is a chain of reasoning.

Surface Area and Volukulele











I will be finding the surface area and volume of my homemade Cigar Box Ukulele.


SA: Box
Length: 21 cm
Height: 7
Width: 16cm


TA= (74 7) + (16 21) + (336 - 24)
TA Box = 1165 cm2


Base 1: 16x21
Base 2: 16x21 - (circles)


SA: Neck
Length: 27 cm
Height: 2 cm
Width: 3 cm


TA = (60 2) + 2(3 27)
TA Neck = 282 cm2


SA: Head
Length: 9 cm
Height: 1 cm
Width: 6 cm


TA = (30 1) + 2(54)
TA Head = 138


SA of Nate's Ukulele = 1585 cm2


Volume of Body


21716 =
Volume = 2352cm3


Volume of Neck
27 2 3
Volume of Neck = 162cm3


Volume of Head
916
V = 54cm3


Total Volume of Nate’s Ukulele = 2568cm3


I will probably need to know the surface area and volume of my instrument because if i plan to sell them the measurements will be useful. Customers will be interested to know the measurements and scale of my instruments.

Arcs!



For this blog I created a circle and used a slider for the central angle. The central angle changes the arc length by moving the central angle.

If the radius is 4.35 and the measure of the arc is 90, then the arc length is 6.15. If the radius is 1.94 and the measure is 250, then the arc length is 3.19. If the radius is 2.69 and the measure is 250, then the arc length is 4.41.

Arc length = measure of central angle/360 x 2Pi x r

The Adventures of 00π

The Adventures of 00π #1: Live and Let Geometry

00π is left in a dire situation as the plane he is flying breaks down mid-flight.

After the plane crash (which 00π amazingly survives), he is left in an altered universe. 

The plane crash is followed by the inevitable, car chase. 00π chases down both Dr. Cat and Dr. Dog.
00π is very curious of this altered universe where Cats and Dogs drive cars and people are much smaller

00π continues his search to little discovery until

The Adventures of 00π #2: Rhombi are Forever

00π is realizing the power he has been given.
 Our hero now has the ability to see everything in Geometrical terms

The first thing he notices is a simple set of congruent lines. He realized that if two lines have the same measure, then they are congruent.  He had the ability to see things around him that no one else could. 00π had The Shining.

He now had flashes of the future show in his geometric visions.
He knew that if two segments form a 90 degree angle, then they formed a right angle,
 but he didn't know what it all meant.



REDRUM. Each letter was made of lines. The door had four rectangular panels.
 The lipstick was cylindrical.




As 00π continued his ventures he came across a deadly circle. After narrowly avoiding its deadly jaws,
 he realized that if radii were in the same circle, then they are congruent.

As he continued looking at the same circle, he realized something else. 
If an angle of a circle is a central angle, then it is congruent with the corresponding arc.


He continues his journey. His Shining is growing stronger
He notices more complex theorems.
If a parallelogram is inscribed in a circle, then it must be a…


 ELGNATCER.
4 SIDES.
2 PAIRS OF PARALLEL CONGRUENT SIDES.
ELGNATCER.
what does it mean?

00π was able to push ELGNATCER out of his mind in order to strengthen his shining
If chords are equidistant from the center of the circle, then they are congruent.
CONGRUENT CHORDS.
ELGNATCER.


If circles have congruent diameters, then they are congruent.

ELGNATCER.

The triangles. ELGNATCER. The triangles…

If triangles have two congruent angles, then they are similar.

The Adventures of 00π #3: He Gives Up

Our hero could not figure out what ELGNATCER meant… he got too scared. 
The Shining would not leave him. He gave up his job, but could not escape his past.


No matter where he fled to, he was made fun of for his failure.


His professional golf career never took off...


…nor his dancing career…


or his bowling and dancing career.

He ended up begging for food.

The Adventures of 00π #4: The Emπre Strikes Back

The Shine was coming back to him stronger than ever now. 


He saw triangle measurements now.
If a right triangle has a 30/60 degree angle in it, then it is a 30-60-90 triangle.

ELGNATCER.

If a triangle is a 30-60-90 triangle, then it has measures of x, 2x, and x root 3.

Parallel. ELGNATCER.

If lines are parallel, alternate interior angles are congruent.
Alternate exterior angles are congruent.
Corresponding Angles.

Super Duper Circle Inscribing with Fun and Geogebra and Math YAY it wasalso considered HW 91 MATH FUN FUN YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYA FUN WITH MATHIS FUN geogebra is like that villain with a dark past which redeemsitself at the end of the film YAY GEODEMPTIONYAYAYAYAYAYAYYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYHW 91


I created this beautiful shape using the newly redeemed Geogebra. It was quite a fun experience. I drew a circle with a rectangle inscribed in it.




If a quad has 2 pairs of parallel sides, then it is a parallelogram.
If a parallelogram has a right angle, then it is a rectangle.
If a parallelogram is inscribed in a circle, then it is a rectangle.
