A triangle is a shape with a total of three sides. The triangle to me looks like one side of “ The Great Pyramid”. A triangle is a two dimensional figure. In a three-dimensional form, it is a pyramid. I strongly believe that the triangle is the most unique shape of all of the shapes. There are many different types of triangles. Obtuse and acute triangles are the two different types of oblique triangles, triangles in which are not right triangles because they do not have a 90 degree angle.A special right triangle is a right triangle with some regular features that make calculations on the triangle easier, or for which simple formulas exist. Knowing the relationships of angles or ratios of sides of special right triangles allows one …show more content…
Some people make triangles out of glass or wood to put on the inside or outside of their homes. Many different triangles can make many different beautiful pieces of artwork for many different things.Some things include paper, road signs, boomerangs, and or sculptures.
There is a triangle called the Heronian triangle. It has area and side lengths that are all integers. The Heronian triangle is named after the great hero of Alexandria. The term is sometimes applied more widely to triangles whose sides and area are all rational numbers. An Isosceles triangle is a triangle that has two sides of equal length. Sometimes is specified as having two and only two sides of equal length. Triangles are polygons with the least possible number of sides, which is

Figuring out problems with triangles can be hard as you can see. The three altitudes of a triangle meet at a common point. The point is called the orthocenter off the triangle. I really like the shape, triangle! If I like triangles, why wouldn’t you? Do you love triangles? I love triangles because they can not make you sick, and every one knows that being sick is not good at all. As you can see, triangles are the most unique shape that has ever been discovered or made. By the way, this was
While the studies at Governor’s School are noticeably more advanced and require more effort than at regular public schools, I see this rigor as the key to my academic success. For me, the classes I take that constantly introduce new thoughts that test my capability to “think outside the box”, are the ones that capture all my attention and interest. For example, while working with the Sierpinski Triangle at the Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth geometry camp, I was struck with a strong determination to figure out the secret to the pattern. According to the Oxford Dictionary, the Sierpinski Triangle is “a fractal based on a triangle with four equal triangles inscribed in it. The central triangle is removed and each of the other three treated as the original was, and so on, creating an infinite regression in a finite space.” By constructing a table with the number black and white triangles in each figure, I realized that it was easier to see the relations between the numbers. At Governor’s School, I expect to be provided with stimulating concepts in order to challenge my exceptional thinking.
In the story a stranger visits a family's home because he used to live there back in 1949 and wants to reminisce. While visiting he goes to what was room back in 1949. The son in the family is working on math work. The stranger notices this and shows him a drawing that represents infinity. The drawing consists of a square with triangles drawn within it that gradually get smaller. This is infinity that can’t be perceived due to the fact the triangles
To understand the roots and impacts of racial profiling and the iron triangle, it is beneficial to know exactly what racial profiling and the iron triangle entails. Racial profiling is the act when any kind of law enforcement officer forms suspicious thoughts about a person due to nothing besides their race or ethnicity. Law enforcement officers often act on these suspicious thoughts due to their training. An example of racial profiling could be made of a woman named Shoshana Hebshi, who is of Jewish and Arab descent who was jerked off of a plane and heavily searched during the ten year anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Hebshi, an American citizen, was completely innocent and was only brought under suspicion due to her race. Therefore,
The Triangle based on the Triangle Waist Company Factory fire that took place on March 21, 1911 in New York City. Unlike Out of This Furnace the Triangle a true story that focus on the work condition of female immigrant workers who worked in a sweat-house in unsafe condition. At the time of the fire, this started on the eighth floor of the building. The owners of the Triangle Shirtwaist Company locked all the exit doors to assure that the worker may not leave or enter the factory ...
A triangle has certain properties such as all of the angles. add up to 180o and even if we have never thought about it before we clearly recognise these properties ‘whether we want to or not’.

"Triangles can be defined as when two people work agianst the third or in which a third person was drawn into a problem between two others." I agee the mother and her daughter and daughter's friend Samantha are in a trangulation relationship. The relationship that the mother has with her mother is absent with her own daughter and it has caused some comfortation and mistrust between the two. The way you used the grandmother, Betty Ann, and Allison as a positive triangulation relationship in comparison to their relationship with Samantha could be a positive way to strengthen the relationship and alleveate some of the mistrust that has
He used the triangles for a wall and bricks and he combined a special technique combined between rectangles and effect linear perspective. Section III Interpretation It is really hard to tell all my opinions of this artwork by words, but by the way, this artwork is really powerful to me. The name that the artist chose to really confirm for this artwork, the
Areas of the following shapes were investigated: square, rectangle, kite, parallelogram, equilateral triangle, scalene triangle, isosceles triangle, right-angled triangle, rhombus, pentagon, hexagon, heptagon and octagon. Results The results of the analysis are shown in Table 1 and Fig 1. Table 1 showing the areas for the different shapes formed by using the
Many scholars believe that the reason why the pyramids were built in a triangular form is because it has a religious meaning to the Egyptians. The slanting side might have reminded the Egyptians of the slanting rays of the sun, that the pharaoh's soul could climb to the sky and join the gods. In the pyramids they buried the pharaoh's body.

On first thought, mathematics and art seem to be totally opposite fields of study with absolutely no connections. However, after careful consideration, the great degree of relation between these two subjects is amazing. Mathematics is the central ingredient in many artworks. Through the exploration of many artists and their works, common mathematical themes can be discovered. For instance, the art of tessellations, or tilings, relies on geometry. M.C. Escher used his knowledge of geometry, and mathematics in general, to create his tessellations, some of his most well admired works.
Imagine a world in which all of life’s problems could all just go away at the click of a button. A world where every individual on the face of planet earth is being watched 24/7, therefore eliminating any possibility of a crime being committed. Imagine, if just for a moment, a world where everyone and everything are connected by the same network, which would in essence create a full and complete circle. This is the world that serves as the setting for Dave Eggers novel The Circle. The Circle is a novel about Mae, the young and enthusiastic protagonist, who gets a job at a company known as The Circle. The Circle is a revolutionary company that is creating all sorts of new and exciting technology that appear to benefit the human race as a whole.
Named after the Polish mathematician, Waclaw Sierpinski, the Sierpinski Triangle has been the topic of much study since Sierpinski first discovered it in the early twentieth century. Although it appears simple, the Sierpinski Triangle is actually a complex and intriguing fractal. Fractals have been studied since 1905, when the Mandelbrot Set was discovered, and since then have been used in many ways. One important aspect of fractals is their self-similarity, the idea that if you zoom in on any patch of the fractal, you will see an image that is similar to the original. Because of this, fractals are infinitely detailed and have many interesting properties. Fractals also have a practical use: they can be used to measure the length of coastlines. Because fractals are broken into infinitely small, similar pieces, they prove useful when measuring the length of irregularly shaped objects. Fractals also make beautiful art.
Trigonometry (from Greek trigōnon "triangle" + metron "measure"[1]) is a branch of mathematics that studies triangles and the relationships between the lengths of their sides and the angles between those sides. Trigonometry defines the trigonometric functions, which describe those relationships and have applicability to cyclicalphenomena, such as waves. The field evolved during the third century BC as a branch of geometry used extensively for astronomical studies.[2] It is also the foundation of the practical art of surveying.
