how important is it to know algebra to be able to do geometry?
Cindy C: how important is it to know algebra to be able to do geometry? My daughter is in 9th grade geometry and has not had algebra. She is having a difficult time. Her counselor says that you do not need algebra to do geometry. She says it is a different kind of math and that's why the 9th graders have trouble with it. Answers and … [Read more...] about how important is it to know algebra to be able to do geometry?
Should I take geometry and algebra 2 at the same time?
J L: Should I take geometry and algebra 2 at the same time? I am in 9th grade and I take algebra 1 right now. Algebra 1 very easy for me and I want to take 2 math courses in 10th grade. I am planning to take Calculas in my senior year, but I am behind so I was wondering if it a good idea to take geometry and algebra 2 next year and the same … [Read more...] about Should I take geometry and algebra 2 at the same time?
What do you define as a good understanding of algebra and geometry?
Hey Jude: What do you define as a good understanding of algebra and geometry? I’m going into algebra (pre-algebra) and I’m just getting into geometry. I wanted to know what specific things you would consider you must good at in algebra and geometry to have “a good grasp” of them so you can move on to stuff like trigonometry and calculus. I'm kind … [Read more...] about What do you define as a good understanding of algebra and geometry?
GEOMETRY ………………….?
Emily: GEOMETRY ......................? If a 650 cm ladder is placed against a building at a certain angle it just reaches a point on the building that is 520 cm above the ground. If the ladder is moved to reach a point 80 cm higher up, how much closer will the ladder be to the building? I did this on a test and I got the answer 100 cm. What I … [Read more...] about GEOMETRY ………………….?
use differentials to approximate the maximum resulting error in computing the area of a triangle?
Ryan G: use differentials to approximate the maximum resulting error in computing the area of a triangle? The two legs of the triangle are measured to be a=500ft and b=700ft, with a possible error of 1 ft in each measurement. The angle between them is measured to be 30 degrees with an error of 0.25 degrees. The area is triangular so its area is … [Read more...] about use differentials to approximate the maximum resulting error in computing the area of a triangle?
What is an example of an artist using a concept from perspective geometry?
Viva La Raza: What is an example of an artist using a concept from perspective geometry? This is the "new age" geometry that I am being currently taught. I need help on finding an example where an artist uses perspective geometry to help with his/her drawing. The example has to be very specific, as in if an artist wants to a draw a floor tiling … [Read more...] about What is an example of an artist using a concept from perspective geometry?
