VIDEO: Geometry Applications: Transformations |
VIDEO: Geometry Applications: Transformations
In this program we look at applications of transformations. We do this in the context of three real-world applications. In the first, we look at translations and rotations in the context of roller coaster rides. |
Applications of Transformations and Definition of Transformations | |
VIDEO: Geometry Applications: Transformations, 1 |
VIDEO: Geometry Applications: Transformations, Segment 1: Translations and Rotations.
Roller coasters provide an ideal opportunity to explore translations and rotations. Displacement vectors are also introduced. |

VIDEO: Geometry Applications: Transformations, 2 |
VIDEO: Geometry Applications: Transformations, Segment 2: 3D Translations.
Cargo ships transport tons of merchandise from one country to another and accounts for most of the global economy. Loading and unloading these ships requires a great deal of organization and provides an ideal example of three-dimensional translations. |

VIDEO: Geometry Applications: Transformations, 3 |
VIDEO: Geometry Applications: Transformations, Segment 3: Rotations, Reflections, and Symmetry.
The Gemini telescope in Hawaii is an example of architecture that moves. All observatories rotate in order to follow objects in the sky. This also provides an opportunity to explore rotations, reflections, and symmetry. |

VIDEO: Geometry Applications: Triangles |
VIDEO: Geometry Applications: Triangles
In this program we explore the properties of triangles. We do this in the context of two real-world applications. In the first, we explore the triangular trusses in the Eiffel Tower and in the process learn about key properties of triangles. |

VIDEO: Geometry Applications: Triangles, 1 |
VIDEO: Geometry Applications: Triangles, Segment 1: Introduction
The Bank of China building in Hong Kong is a dramatic example of triangular support. The notion of triangular trusses is introduced, along with the key concepts developed in the rest of the program. |

VIDEO: Geometry Applications: Triangles, 2 |
VIDEO: Geometry Applications: Triangles, Segment 2: Triangles
The Eiffel Tower includes quite a number of exposed triangular trusses. The properties of triangles are used to explore and explain the frequent use of triangular trusses in many building. In particular, isosceles and equilateral triangular trusses are explored. |

VIDEO: Geometry Applications: Triangles, Segment 3: Right Triangles
The ancient port city of Corinth in Greece allows us to explore the evolution of sailing. The shapes of sails went from rectangular to triangular. The use of right-triangle-shaped sails changed the nature of sailing. |

VIDEO: TI-Nspire CX Mini-Tutorial: Graphs of Absolute Value Functions
In this Nspire CX tutorial absolute functions are graphed, including graphs centered at the origin, graphs displaced along the x-axis, and graphs displaced along the y-axis. Note: This video does not include audio. |
