This paper describes an experiment to determine the height of the Flagpole in front of Waterloo Collegiate Institute, a high school in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. During the experiment, we approach the task with similar triangles and their properties. Being that, we created two similar right triangles with the flagpole as one of the legs of one triangle and my partner as one of the legs of the other. Due to the fact that similar triangles are proportional in terms of side lengths, we measure the…

The Green Flag Award® scheme is the benchmark national standard for parks and green spaces in the UK. It was first launched in 1996 to recognise and reward the best green spaces in the country. The first awards were given in 1997 and, many years later, it continues to provide the benchmark against which our parks and green spaces are measured. It is also seen as a way of encouraging others to achieve high environmental standards, setting a benchmark of excellence in recreational green areas.…

were going to. Once I got ready to go, I asked my dad in a questioning tone of voice, “Where are we going anyway?” “We are going to Six Flags,” my sister said in a tone of voice as if I should know already. I was feeling excited to go there, but feeling a little bit scared to go to some of the games and rides. My family and I with my uncle were going to Six Flags, so we got into the car and started driving. The ride there was really long, there was many pit stops to go get gas and other things…

Frightening faces sat taped over the panes of glass around the porch lights, their eyes glowing as the light passed through, a red beacon rotated about, casting shadows across our lawn with each pass, and eerie music played loudly, drifting through the air into…

the park rider is attempting to beat a high score or race an opponent to the finish line, interactive rides change entertainment in amusement parks. One example of an interactive ride became known to me at a young age when our family went to Six Flags Great America. Not long after being inside the park, I found the bumper cars. This attraction allows riders to drive a small, round car throughout a confined area. The objective is to run into as many other drivers as possible within the time…

majority of the photos included the proud presentation of the Confederate flag (Chuck). The car he drove to the church that night was even proudly donned with a Confederate flag license plate, henceforth sparking the national debate about the racism of the flag and whether…

Flag Desecration Since 1777 the American flag with its stars and stripes has represented the colonies and states, and even more importantly has represented the sacrifice made to create the freedom that is given to us American citizens in the United States today. The flag is incredibly symbolic to our country, and should be treated with all the respect it deserves. However, mistreating the flag is technically protected by the First Amendment, so it must be outlawed to ensure freedom in America.…

Confederate Flag In 1860-1861 eleven southern states seceded from the United States to protect the institution of slavery, forming the Confederate States of America and precipitating the Civil War.

Organizations such as the Sons of Confederate Veterans adopted the flag as a symbol of Southern heritage but the flag also served…
