    Types of Elliptic Geometry

    • 1680 Words
    • 7 Pages

    Elliptic geometry (sometimes known as Riemannian geometry) is a non-Euclidean geometry‚ in which‚ given a line L and a point p outside L‚ there exists no line parallel to L passing through p. Elliptic geometry‚ like hyperbolic geometry‚ violates Euclid’s parallel postulate‚ which asserts that there is exactly one line parallel to L passing through p. In elliptic geometry‚ there are no parallel lines at all. Elliptic geometry has other unusual properties. For example‚ the sum of the angles of any

    Geometric constructions involve drawing geometric shapes that satisfy certain requirements (onlinemathlearning.com). The main focus in construction is on equidistance and co-linearity. This is done through the use of certain tools namely the compass and the straight edge. It is used to construct angles‚ planes figures and segments. This mathematical skill is applicable in many fields such as architecture‚ engineering and construction just to name a few. Base on the fact that geometric construction

    Geometry Manipulatives Kedra Smith MAT/157 October 23‚ 2014 Leslie Blackerby Geometry Manipulatives The geometry manipulative activity that I have come up with is one that will be rather informative and intriguing at the same time. The concept of the game will be for children to become familiar with all of the geometry shapes there are so that when future assignments are given they will be able to identify the shape and be successful in their learning. The activity that I have created is called

    Geometry in Everyday Life Geometry in everyday life Geometry was thoroughly organized in about 300bc‚ when the Greek mathematician‚ Euclid gathered what was known at the time; added original work of his own and arranged 465 propositions into 13 books‚ called Elements.  Geometry was recognized to be not just for mathematicians. Anyone can benefit from the basic learning of geometry‚ which is to follow the lines reasoning. Geometry is one of the oldest sciences and is concerned with questions

    "The applications of geometry in real life are numerous. Nearly everyday people are faced with major and minor issues that require the use of geometry. Some of these include finding the square footage of a home‚ determining the volume a container or deciding how much tile is needed to put in a new kitchen floor. The square footage in a home is often determined by length and width of each room combined from the exterior walls. Without geometry we would never know how much square footage of paint to

In the coordinate plane‚ a point is named by an ordered pair‚ (point A)  . A 2. LINE –In geometry‚ a line has no thickness but its length extends in one dimension and goes on forever in both directions. A line is depicted to be a straight line with two arrowheads indicating that the line extends
