scenery, but they all have the same setup. Every range is a little bit different, Singles is where one shooter will shoot one target at a time on the 16 yard square. As shotgun shells come in boxes of 25, the shooter will shoot 5 shots at each post and move one post to the right. There can be up to five shooters on the line at one time, and any number less can be spread across the 16 yard posts at their will. If there is more than one person on the line, the shooter who starts on the farthest post to the
Growing Squares I have decided to find a formula to find the nth term. To help me find the nth term I shall compose a table including all the results I know. Pattern Number Number of Squares 1st Difference 2nd Difference 1 1 4 4 2 5 8 3 13 4 12 4 25 The 2nd difference is constant; therefore the equations will be quadratic. The general formula for a quadratic equation is an2 + bn +c. The coefficient of n2 is half that of the second
Consecutive Numbers Task 1 Problem 1 Write down 3 consecutive numbers. Square the middle one. Multiply the first and the third number. Compare the two numbers, what do you notice? Problem 2 ========= Write down two consecutive numbers. Square both of the numbers and find the difference between the squares. What do you notice? Problem 1 ========= I am going to investigate several sets of three consecutive numbers to see if the square of the middle is related to
Counting Squares Method The first method I will use to find the area is the counting squares method. For this method I will draw the graph on cm paper and estimate the amount of squares that the area under the curve takes up. To do this I will first count all the whole squares, and then count all the half squares and divide that number by two to give a rough estimate of the area under the curve. Altogether I counted 10 whole squares and 14 half squares. When the half squares were divided
made from a sheet of card. Identical squares are cut off the four corners of the card as shown in figure 1. Figure 1: [IMAGE] The card is then folded along the dotted lines to make the box. The main aim of this activity is to determine the size of the square cut out which makes the volume of the box as large as possible for any given rectangular sheet of card. 1. For any sized square sheet of card, investigate the size of the cut out square which makes an open box of the largest
press the space bar. A small fixation dot will appear in the center of the screen, it is necessary to stare at the dot. Place your left index finger on the V key and your right index finger on the M key. A fraction of a second later a red or green square will appear to the left or the right...
shape or shapes of fencing will cover the maximum area of land using exactly 1000 metres of fencing material. Prediction I am predicting that the maximum area of land covered will be achieved by using the fencing shapes with the greatest number of sides. Method I made a list of possible different shapes to be investigated and assigned measurements to the sides of the shapes making sure that they fit in within the perimeter of 1000 metres of fencing. I then worked out the areas of
over time are considerable, and they can be somewhat controversial. Depending on the source and the location selected, the magnitude of deforestation varies. Southwick estimates that, approximately 10,000 years ago, 6.2 billion hectares (23.9 million square miles) of forest existed on earth (p. 117). That figure is equivalent to 45.5% of the earth's total land. He further estimates that, by 1990, this amount had declined 30%, with only 4.3 billion hectares of forest remaining (p. 117). Southwick also
rectangular card that has all four corners having had squares cut out of them. Firstly I will be studying the volume whilst changing the side of one length of the cut out square and the size of the original rectangle card. After I have investigated this relationship I will try to find out the formula for finding the cut size to get the largest volume for any specified original card size. Square card size I am going to begin by investigating a square card because this will give me a basic formula
asked a number of questions about the solving of magic squares. The final goal was to fill a magic square in correctly. The information I was given was about the history of magic squares and information on how they work. I did not need any extra information. Investigation: What I had to do for this investigation was to fill in a magic square correctly. I chose to do this by answering the questions given to me and using my answers to those questions to fill in the magic square. I did
prevent students from doing maths, consequently, it makes geometry appear a hard stream of mathematics. This investigation was mainly solved through observing a series of patterns and shapes. The most common formula used was A = L*B. Substituting numbers was the easiest way of solving the area problems. To understand the topic surface area better, the results could have been improved by exploring why. CONCLUSION The use of various mathematical applications within the investigation strongly determine
'a' being the shortest side, 'b' being the middle side and 'c' being the longest side of a right angled triangle. So the (smallest number)² + (middle number)² = (largest number)² The number 3, 4 and 5 satisfy this condition 3² + 4² = 5² because 3² = 3 x 3 = 9 4² = 4 x 4 = 16 5² = 5 x 5 = 25 and so 3² + 4² = 9 + 16 = 25 = 5² The numbers 5,12, 13 and 7,24,25 also work for this theorem 5² + 12² = 13² because 5² = 5 x 5 = 25 12² = 12 x 12 = 144 13²= 13 x 13 = 169
Drain Pipes Shape Investigation Introduction A builder has a sheet of plastic measuring 2m by 50cm, which he uses to make drains. The semi-circle is the best shape for a drain. Prove this. I will prove this by comparing its volume to that of other shapes. On older houses there are semi-circular drains but on newer houses there is fancier ones like pentagon shapes. Is this because they are better or is it simply for design? To find the volume of a 3D object I have to find the
cuboid using a square with smaller squares cut out from each corner to then fold it up into a cuboid. Cut out the red squares and fold inwards on the blue lines to get a cuboid. To get the maximum volume from the cuboid you need to work out the sizes of the squares you want to cut out from each corner. The formula I used to work out the volume for each cuboid was height x width x length. Height is the width or length of the cut out square. Width is the length of the square minus 2H, (2H
Yerevan of the city is Republic Square. In the centre of the square towering over it stands a magnificent building. It houses the Museum of History of Armenia and the National Art Gallery. They are all built in the style of national architecture. In front of the National Gallery there is a beautiful fountain where the townspeople like to walk in hot summer evenings. This fountain is continued by a series of fountains in the park across the square. Also, Republic Square is the hub of major avenue and
While the overall images differ considerably, the goal of implementing the Morellian method is to identify artists’ use of the same formulas to create smaller parts of works. During the production of Image 1A (1A), the artist used a (six square by three square) checkerboard pattern to separate sections of lines of approximately the same width which rimmed the outer edge of the ceramic. These boarder-lines alternate occupying negative and positive space. A repeated use of thin hatching lines - which
Senseless: A False Sense of Perception I feel as though I have no choice but to be a skeptic about our ability to know the world on the sense experience given the information that is being presented. Our senses are touching, hearing, smelling and tasting, I believe it is quite possible that a person could think they see, touch, and smell something such as a glass of bear but there be no glass of beer present, therefore their perception of this glass of beer is false. There is a good possibility
Opposite Corners on Number Grids Are Subtracted Introduction The purpose of this investigation is to explore the answer when the products of opposite corners on number grids are subtracted and to discover a formula, which will give the answer in all cases. I hope to learn some aspects of mathematics that I previously did not know. The product is when two numbers are multiplied together. There is one main rule: the product of the top left number and the bottom
Dynamic of Communication Analyzing Space Paper Space is crucial when it comes to communicating, the space that you are surrounded by will shape all aspects of the communicating you do. Space is always communicating meaning and from the spaces I observed on campus and in the Student Center I drew meaning from them which allowed me to understand what each space is communicating and what see how each space encouraged or hindered communication. In this paper I will explain my critiques as well
Ad Reinhardt Abstract Painting 19601965 Ad Reinhardt's painting, Abstract Painting 1960-65, is at first glance' a black square canvas. The subject matter seems to be just what it is, a black painting. There are no people. No event or action is taken except for the fact that Reinhardt has made the painting. The title only provides us with the information that we are looking at an abstract painting. The only other information that the artist gives you is the time period, in which it was conceived
