VIDEO: Geometry Applications: 3D Geometry, Antiprisms |
VIDEO: Geometry Applications: 3D Geometry, AntiprismsIn this video students learn the basics of antiprisms, in the context of New York’s Freedom Tower, which has an antiprism design. They learn the properties of antiprisms, with the focus on those with a square base. |

VIDEO: Geometry Applications: 3D Geometry, Triangular Prisms |
VIDEO: Geometry Applications: 3D Geometry, Triangular PrismsIn this video students study a real-world application of triangular prisms: The Flat Iron Building in New York City. This building is an ideal example of a real-world prism and also provides a tie-in to right triangle geometry. |

VIDEO: Geometry Applications: Quadrilaterals |
VIDEO: Geometry Applications: QuadrilateralsIn this program we explore the properties of quadrilaterals. We do this in the context of two real-world applications. In the first, we explore the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright as an application of squares and rectangles; in particular, we look at his Fallingwater house. |

VIDEO: Geometry Applications: Quadrilaterals, 3 |
VIDEO: Geometry Applications: Quadrilaterals, Segment 3: Parallelograms and TrapezoidsThe Puerta de Europa towers in Madrid bring parallelograms front and center. These tilted towers, looking like modern-day towers of Pisa seem to defy gravity, but rely on the stability brought about by its quadrilateral structure. |
