Question

You have worked with figures that are similar and have learned how to calculate angles inside length identify similarity, put these skills together to plan a design for a scale. Model show how these concepts effectively work in the real world involves clear communication, and the ability to defend your conclusions to others.

First state, the real world figure, you will model and the scale factor you will use identify at least two different, but significant items on your model. Explain how you will determine the calculations and dimensions for these items to make them mathematically similar to the actual items describe the special mathematical skills. You will need to create the design and give examples describe some outside sources you may need for the calculations, explain in 3-4 sentences

Answer 1

I will model a blueprint of a house, using a scale factor of 1 inch representing 10 feet. Two significant items on my blueprint will be the roof pitch and the window dimensions. To make these items mathematically similar to the actual house, I will calculate the angles for the roof pitch using trigonometry and determine the dimensions of the windows using proportional reasoning based on the scale factor. I may need outside sources such as a protractor for measuring angles accurately and architectural specifications for window dimensions.
