Math 10 Tessellation Project
In my project I used a lot of triangles so I decided to talk about what how we can prove two triangles are similar. So triangles are scaled versions of them self's. The angels are the same of each other. The ratio of two sides on a triangle are corresponding angels. Some triangles share all angles so they are equal.
so the next thing i want is Describe the concept of area and volume in terms of efficiency. What is the most efficient shape and why? How can we measure efficiency? so what we did is get a piece of construction paper and build a box and try to fit as many little Pisces of rice crispy treat cearial in there. and the one that won was a silo. and its because In most silos, gravity causes grain to flow from the top of the silo and out through an opening at the bottom near the center. At that opening, a machine called an auger transports the grain to a vehicle or another grain storage facility. As grain flows through the auger, it forms a funnel shape at the top of the silo.
so the couple of challenges I ran in to was trying to figure out what I was going to use in the 4 fold i made. I overthink it and tried making a new 4-fold and then that didn't work so then i went back to my original 4-fold and then I had to do it digitally because i wouldn't have enough time to do it on paper. But those challenges just made me ask questions and get a better understanding of what to do. So in conclusion i feel like i have grown in understanding in geometry. I have made my own tessellation and learned some things such as efficient shapes don't have any empty spaces. so i would most definitely say i have grown.
