Learning Geometrywith a little help from
technology

• By John Doe

39
Are the previously mentioned solids polyhedron (a
solid figure bounded by plane polygons or faces)?

• No, because they do not have all straight sides
  and polyhedron must have all straight sides.

40
How are the 3 types of solids alike and how they
are different?

• They all have curved faces.
• They all use circles in them somehow.
• A cylinder and cone have at least one base and a
  sphere does not have any base.
• A cone is pointy on one end and a cylinder and
  sphere are round.

41
Sketch a cylinder with a height that is twice the
diameter of the base.

diameter of the base.

43
Name a common object that has the shape of a
sphere and insert a picture of that object, use
clip-art or the Internet. 

• A basketball

44
Shapes in Geometry

• Cylinder A solid bounded by two parallel planes
  and such a surface, especially such a surface
  having a circle as its directrix.
• Cone The surface generated by a straight line,
  the generator, passing through a fixed point, the
  vertex, and moving along a fixed curve, the
  directrix.
• Sphere A three-dimensional surface, all points
  of which are equidistant from a fixed point.

When, where and how was the New York Stock
Exchange (NYSE) started?

• It was started May 17, 1792 by 24 Wall Street
  brokers who made an agreement to only trade
  stocks with themselves. It was called the
  Buttonwood Agreement, because it was signed under
  a buttonwood tree at 68 Wall Street. This
  agreement would evolve into todays NYSE.

54
How important was the NYSE to the US economy in
the late 1700s as well as in todays economy?

• The NYSE first helped America to pay off their
  revolutionary war debts and made the new country
  known.
• Today, the the NYSE provides an efficient, fair,
  and secure marketplace for investors to trade
  shares of stock. It is the world largest stock
  exchange and if a company is listed in the
  exchange the it is a good way to expand and make
  money.

LEARNING GEEOMETRY THE EASY WAY

• By Jimmy Dean

99
Lets Make Learning Geometry Fun and Easy

• Standard Geometry ((M4-P2)
• CompetencyRepresent problem situations with
  geometric models and apply properties of figures
• Performance Objective (PO1) Calculate surface
  areas and volumes of three-dimensional geometric
  figures, given the required formulas

100
The purpose of this lesson is to establish the
calculation of the volume of a cylinder, a prism,
and sphere

• The formula for the volume of a cylinder is V
  pr²H where V represents the volume, r represents
  the radius of the base, and H represents the
  height of the cylinder.

• Yes, there was a difference between our first
  estimate and our second. The first on was over a
  thousand so we figured it wasnt right. After
  redoing our calculations several times, we came
  up with a more reasonable estimate.

104
11/19/03 M4-P2, PO1

• I think the most critical factor affecting our
  groups results was the measurements over all the
  cylinder and gumball. It really made it more
  accurate.
• In this project, I learned a lot more about
  volume and how to work in a team with people I
  didnt know very well.
