Parallel Lines

Parallel Lines: Parallel lines are two lines which lie on the same
plane but do not meet or intersect at any point.
Question: What problems would there be in your picture if
the lines were not parallel?
Answer: If the lines were not parallel, runners would then
collide with each other because at some point the lines
would intersect. Another problem could be that athletes
would have too little or too much space to run in.

Congruent Objects
Congruent Objects: Congruent objects are objects which
share the same measure and shape
Question: What problems would there be in your picture if
the objects were not congruent?
Answer: If the objects were not congruent, then the lights
would shine uneven amounts at different parts of the field
and create shadows. These shadows could then confuse players
and prevent them from playing as well as they could.

Vertical Angles
Vertical Angles: Vertical angles are angles that are created by
intersecting lines and are opposite of each other.
Question: Why do you think the person that created the
vertical angles in your picture did so?
Answer: The person who created the vertical angles in
my picture made them so that the bleacher would have
strong support. If the bleacher didnt have a strong
enough support, it could collapse if too many people sat on it.

Perpendicular Lines
Perpendicular Lines: Perpendicular lines are intersecting
lines that form a right angle.
Question: Consequence if the lines were not perpendicular?
Answer: If the lines on the goal post were not perpendicular,
then the lines could be obtuse which would make it too
easy to make goals or the lines could be acute which would
make it harder to make goals. Either way, it messes up
the number of points a team could get off of kicks.

Intersecting Lines
Intersecting Lines: Intersecting lines are two or more
lines that cross each other at one point.
Question: Why is it important that these lines intersect?
Answer: Intersecting lines are important because they
give players a clear boundary and let them know if they
are on or off the field. Without intersecting lines, players
would never be out. This would mean that people could
go anywhere and that would be unfair.

Supplementary Angles

Supplementary Angles: Angles that when added

together equal 180 degrees.

Question: State what problems there would be if these

angles were not supplementary?
Answer: The supplementary angles on the blocking
sleds are structured so that its possible for the
football players to move the sled depending on
how much power they put into it. If the angles were
not supplementary, then the weight distribution would
geared more towards the top or bottom which would
prevent players from effectively moving the sled.
It would either be too easy or too hard.

Different Proportions
Different Proportions: Objects where the dimensions
of those objects are differentiated by multiples on all sides.

Adjacent Angles
Adjacent Angles: Angles that have the same vertex, share one
common side and dont overlap.

Pentagon
Pentagon: a five-sided polygon that lies on one plane with five straight
edges. Its interior angles add up to 540 degrees.

Concentric Circles
Concentric Circles: Circles with a common center.

Cube
Cube: A three dimensional shape containing six equal squares

Corresponding Angles
Corresponding Angles: Angles that occupy the same relative position at
each intersection where a transversal crosses two parallel lines.

Obtuse Angle

Obtuse Angle: Angles that measure more than 90 degrees but less than
180 degrees.

Trapezoid
Trapezoid: A quadrilateral that only has one pair of parallel lines

Square
Square: a plane figure with four equal straight sides and four right angles
