VIDEO: Geometry Applications: 3D Geometry, Antiprisms

VIDEO: Geometry Applications: 3D Geometry, Antiprisms

In 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: Quadrilaterals

VIDEO: Geometry Applications: Quadrilaterals

In 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.
