It's so cute. After redrawing my first monkey by resizing it, the second monkey is smaller but definitely similar. If two figures are similar, they are the same shape but may be different sizes. Shapes can be made smaller or larger through dilation, a transformation using a scale factor to create a similar image. This is what I have done with my monkey (on the graph paper). My original image, Figure 1, has been shrunk to a smaller and similar image by using a scale factor of ½, as shown in Figure 2, after the dilation. My two monkeys are similar because the ratio of their lengths compared to that of the areas fits the Proportional Perimeters and Areas Theorem. Also, their corresponding angles are congruent and their corresponding lengths are proportional, proving that they are similar by definition. I can create a dilation by multiplying each coordinate with the scale factor of ½, so that the ratio of the images is 1 to 2. For example, my original monkey’s tail tip is at point 75 (62, 16). By multiplying both x- and y- values by ½ as shown: (62 * ½, 16 * ½), we get (31,8). (x, y) →...
One way this is shown is studies on twins. Twins are much alike clones as in the way that they
The intricacy of a simple time telling device has sparked controversy about the creation of the universe. In William Paley’s “The Analogical Teleological Argument” he argues that the universe must have been created by a universe maker, God, due to its complexity. However, David Hume, provides an empiricist objection by arguing that one cannot prove the existence of a universe maker due to lack of experience regarding the creation of a universe. Ultimately, I will argue that Paley’s argument by design is not sufficient for proving God 's existence because, as individuals, we cannot assume that the world works the way we wish it.
Bicycles. A seemingly endless world of possiblilites. Yet, so singular. People. Some many different types, and separated from everything else. Who would ever say that two things couldn't be much different? But could they actually be similar?
Being in kindergarten I was too young to understand a moment so tragic. My grandma told me that I had just come home from a half day of school, and she had turned the television on to try and sort through the bits and pieces of information that she had heard. Nobody really knew what was happening in the moment, but it was a sad day in American history. The day 9/11 occurred. Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close written by Jonathan Safran Foer, tells a story of a socially unstable boy who lost his dad, who was working in the twin towers when the planes crashed. The movie written by Eric Roth and directed by Stephen Daldry did a good job of capturing the emotions the book described. Although both the book and movie Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close are similar, I prefer the book.
The two structures above are similar in a few ways. To begin with, both sets of pyramids were built in similar fashions, and both the Pyramid of Khufu and the Pyramid of the Sun are nearly rivaled for tallest pyramid in the
You are more likely to be genetically like someone who looks like you more than someone who does not, because some traits such as skin color and height are determined genetically. Therefore, people who share similar genes look more alike than people with completely different genetic makeups.
What would it be like to have a twin? This is a question people often ponder. People often say that they see someone that resembles someone they already know. It is almost like dejavu. “Twin” comes from the German word “twine” meaning “two together” (Nagy 1). Most people automatically think of two people who look just alike when they hear the word “twin”. However, there is a lot more to twins than just looking alike. Twins are the most common type of multiple births. Many think there are only two types of twins, identical and fraternal; they often leave out conjoined twins. Twins are very unique and fascinating individuals because of their similarities biologically, physically, and psychologically.
The stories Remembering My Childhood on the Continent of Africa and Self-Discovery and the Danish Way of Life are easily comparable. The narrators of both stories write about a time in which they are experiencing a different culture. They also write about their yearnings for self-discovery through exotic experiences. The viewpoints, however, of each writer are at opposite ends of the spectrum. In Self-Discovery and the Danish Way of Life, the narrator writes about his international experiences while studying abroad in Denmark. On the other hand, in Remembering My Childhood on the Continent of Africa, the narrator never actually visits Africa. Instead, he figuratively visits the continent through the experiences of another person. These stories may appear to be similar because of the comparable aspirations of the narrators. However, they are also different with respect the narrators’ unique viewpoints on life.
Using a square, both the length & the width are equal. I am using a
American authors thrived in the 19th century more than any other time in history. Two central figures of this American Renaissance were Emily Dickinson and Edgar Allen Poe. These two authors primarily wrote dark fiction about the subjects of death, love, and nature. Not only is the general subject matter between Dickinson and Poe similar, but there are also parallels between their speakers. Many of their works contain a first-person narrator who displays drastic psychological states and is aware of an overwhelming presence of death. This is most notable in Dickinson’s “I Felt a Funeral” when her speaker implies with the internal funeral that she is becoming mad and how in “Because I could not stop for Death” she shows mortality as imminent;
A lot of people assume that identical twins are alike in every aspect. “For a long time identical twins were believed to be identical to a ridiculous degree. In early German folklore it was said that identical twins had the same number of hairs on their heads, though no mathematician is quoted as having made the count! Still, everyone believed that such a thing was possible, and these beliefs have a way of persisting today” (Gaddis, Vincent & Margaret, 1972 pp. 11). That would be astonishing if someone took time out of their day just to count if twins had the same a...
People can look alike, yet be very different. One of the best examples from literature of people who look almost alike, but are very different are Charles Darnay and Sydney Carton from “A Tale of Two Cities” by Charles Dickens. Although Sydney Carton looks nothing but a worthless person than Charles Darnay, as the book progresses, Carton seems to be changing.
For centuries blacks have suffered discrimination from the white society. They were thought to be uncivilized because of their dark skin color. Today, discrimination against skin color no longer exists legally in the United States. Public schools and workplaces are mixed with a variety colors and races from different countries. Though, it may seem that skin color doesn’t matter in society, the majority of society only make close friends or marry someone from their own race. Most of these feelings towards another of a different skin color are deeply rooted in our minds from previous generations. Their mentality prevents them from behaving the same. Difference in behavior from a multicolored society is evident in schools, in society, and in television.
Care and education have become a part of children’s daily lives in Ireland and England outside the home in childcare services. The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) is the statutory curriculum framework for children up to the age of five in England. It was first introduced in 2008 and on the 1st of September 2012 a new revised document was published. Aistear, published in 2009, is Ireland’s first early year’s curriculum framework for children from birth to six years of age. A curriculum framework is a scaffold or support for the development of a curriculum that can be used in childcare settings. A curriculum framework can also be used in partnership with parents when developing a curriculum. This paper will compare and contrast these two curriculum frameworks in relation to philosophy, content, pedagogical practices and expected/targeted outcomes for children. Due to the limits of this paper, it will only be possible to develop an overview of the similarities and differences.
The Golden Ratio is also known as the golden rectangle. The Golden Rectangle has the property that when a square is removed a smaller rectangle of the same shape remains, a smaller square can be removed and so on, resulting in a spiral pattern.
