Bees Lab Report

The unit we just concluded is called Bees. Bees was all about finding the area of shapes, using trigonometric functions and/or the Pythagorean theorem to find the side length(s) of a triangle, using trigonometric inverses to find the angles of a triangle, using triangles to see what polygon has the largest area when the perimeter of the polygons was 300 feet, and finding the volume, surface area, and lateral surface area of three dimensional prisms. A polygon is a two dimensional figure with at least three straight sides. Perimeter is the distance around a polygon.To find the perimeter of a shape, you need to add the lengths of all the sides of the shape. Look at Visual 1 to see an example of the perimeter of a polygon. Visual 1 Area is the number of unit squares that can be contained within a polygon. There are different area formulas for different polygons. The simplest area formula is the area formula for rectangles …show more content…

As I said in my cover letter, the Pythagorean theorem equation is a^2+b^2=c^2 and c^2 will always represent the hypotenuse which is the longest side of the right triangle while a^2 and b^2 can any of the other two sides. Look at Visual 6 to see an example of how to use Pythagorean theorem to solve for the side length of a triangle. Visual 6 Start with: a2 + b2 = c2 Put in what we know: 52 + 122 = c2 Calculate squares: 25 + 144 = c2 25+144=169: 169 = c2 Swap sides: c2 = 169 Square root of both sides: c = √169 Calculate: c = 13 The last thing that we learned about concerning right triangles were trigonometric inverses. As I mentioned in my cover letter, trigonometric inverses are used to find the angles of a right triangle. The trigonometric inverses we used were sin^-1, cos^-1, and tan^-1. Look at Visual 7 of an example of how to use a trigonometric inverse to solve for the angle of a right triangle. Visual

    Lesson 1, finding the area of different shapes, differed greatly in classifications assigned to the task outlined in the study. Consistent with all other lesson plans in the classifications A and E located in the lower-level demands, the students’ were assigned a task that required memorization of the formula used for calculating the area of a rectangle (p. 49). Unlike the previous nine lessons, the students task of “finding different ways to find the area of different rectangular-based shapes” (p. 50) involved problem-solving skills.

Finally, he used the first known form of calculus while studying curved surfaces under Euclid, not to be later worked on for 2,000 years by Isaac Newton (Source A).

  • Essay On The Secret Life Of Bees

    When Sue Monk Kidd, the author of “The Secret Life of Bees” wrote this book, you can tell she really put thought into creating all the characters and what their personalities would be like. Each and every one of the characters has an astonishing personality but out of all of them, I think my favorite would have to be August Boatwright. August Boatwright, carries so much knowledge around, she has an amazing personality, she’s kind caring, non-judgemental, and is so smart. In the time the story takes place, it was very rare that Women owned businesses, much less black women-

  • Plato's, Meno: The History Of Mathematics

    239 Words  | 1 Pages

    Plato’s, Meno, is quite significant to the history of mathematics. During the fifth century BCE Greek mathematics was more theoretical and self-conscious; it would be paired together with philosophy in their education. Although most of Plato’s piece is largely focused on Socrates and Meno struggling to define what “virtue” is, mathematics is still an extremely important role. This is quite evident when the boy is asked to find a square equivalent to double the size of the current square. The boy confidentially answers that the lines are double the size because the square is double the size, even though this is wrong since it gives four times the size.

    Introduction: I have chosen to look at a Bumble Bee’s Gas Exchange System. Their preferred habitat is in higher altitudes in the Northern hemisphere. They live in colonies of 50-500 underground with limited light. Their diet consists of eating pollen and drinking nectar. There is no need for a bee to hibernate as their life span is only 28 days long.

    Activity 21 emphasizes the different classifications of triangles. Triangles are three-sided polygons classified by the length of each side and the measurement of each angle. An Equilateral triangle has sides that are all the same length. Isosceles triangles have at least two congruent sides. The length of the sides of a Scalene triangle are incongruent.

    Compare between butterflies and bees Both are holometabolous (have hatchlings and pupae and grown-up stages), flying creepy crawlies that regularly eat plant nectar and are essential plant pollinators, however they are altogether different something else. A few honey bees are eusocial bugs, which means they have huge homes and show helpful brood mind, regenerative division of work, and covering ages. Numerous honey bees are lone, nonetheless, and don't frame these social orders, which are run of the mill of bumble bees. Butterflies and moths are never eusocial, albeit some subsocial species will remain in bunches together as caterpillars.

  • Trigonometry Relates To The Real World

    There are many different ways of how trigonometry applies to the real world. For example, some occupations that use trigonometry on an everyday basis are astronauts, physicists, architects, surveyors, crime scene investigators, and engineers. In history, trigonometry can be traced all the way back to about 4,000 years ago. Another example of how we apply trigonometry on an everyday basis is technology and music. Sound navigates through waves and this style is still not as formal as a sine or cosine capacity, but it is effective in advancing computer music.
