Chalk Lines

     <1 Equals 90º and <2 Equals 90º so <1 is congruent to <2


      <1 and <2 are supplementary angles and are equal to each other

Non Parallel Lines vs. Skew Lines

Non Parallel Lines- Slanting or inclined in direction or course or position--neither parallel nor perpendicular nor right-angled.







Skew Lines- Two straight lines that do not lie in the same plane, are not parallel, and do not intersect, the distance between them being the unique segment perpendicular to both lines.

Perpendicular and Parallel Lines

Parallel Lines- Two lines that lie on the same plane and do not intersect.

Perpendicular Lines- Two lines that intersect to form a right angle.

Stew Lines- Two lines that do not lie on the same plane and do not intersect.

Linear Pair and Vertical Angles

Linear Pair~ linear pair is a pair of adjacent, supplementary angles. Adjacent means next to each other and supplementary means that the measures of the two angles add up to equal 180 degree.



Vertical Angles~ Each of the pairs of opposite angles made by two intersecting lines.

The Difference Between Complementary and Supplementary Angles

Complementary Angles~ Two angles are Complementary Angles if the sum of their measures is 90 degrees. Supplementary Angles~ Two angles are Supplemetary Angles if the sum of their measures is 180 degrees. The difference between the two types of angles, is that Complementary Angles add up to be 90 degrees, and Supplementary Angles add up to be 180 degrees.

Desmos Geo House

<photo.JPG> On my graph, I used an actuate angle, obtuse angle, a line segment, and a few right angles. On (9,0 and 9,-4) I had an acute angle. On (9,18 and -10,18) I had an obtuse angle. On (-9,-8 and 9,-8) I have my two right angles. And lastly on (-8) I have my line segment. My biggest challenge was trying to get my obtuse and acute angles into my graph. I have learned how to incorporate these kinds of angles into my future graphs.

How many Handshakes?

The Handshake Function Rule would be f(n)= n(n-1)/2. Ex. 1 person... 1(1-1)/2=0    Ex.3 people... 3(3-1)/2=3. The process to find out how many handshakes you can make with a certain number of people is simple if you plug it into the formula. Another way to find out how many handshakes you can make with a certain number of people can be sketched... Ex. 1 person... {  .  }= 0 handshakes. 2 people...{  .-.  }= 1 handshake. My final conclusion is that there are many ways to find out how many handshakes can be made between a certain number of people.

Why Math?

I think that the three different doorways of math are personal, practical, and spiritual. On a personal level, you can relate Math and creativity to things that are happening in your own life. On a practical level, you have to learn math, because it is the foundation for everything you do in college, and in your job in the future. On a spiritual level, you learn math to see the creativity that God has given to us in our life. You can see these three concepts through Math, and the way that we breakdown every problem. Right now, the one that stands out to me the most is the practical concept of math, because right now in my life, you really need to comprehend the idea of Math to help mold your base for the rest of your school career. In Genesis 1:1, God talks about creating the Heavens and the Earth. This shows how God had a mold of the universe before he started to work on it. You have to have a firm foundation spiritually and mentally to accomplish these things.

Hello World!

Hi, I'm Payton. Right now the four most important things to me are family, friends,school, and competition cheerleading. This year I am excited about being in High School, and learning new concepts in all of my classes. I'm defiantly anxious about exams this year. One thing you may not know about me is that my family loves to travel to the Caribbean.
