Hexagon

page 82) Upon further research I found that Glock barrels use the polygonal rifling which is designed to optimize performance for jacketed bullets with inconsistencies. From what I understand if you look down a Glock barrel its in the shape of a hexagon. The polygonal rifling is not your typical rifling there are no grooves…

Soccer is a game played by two teams of eleven players with a round ball that cannot be touched with the hands and arms by any players except the goal keepers. Soccer is a beautiful game of skill, teamwork and strategy. You may be surprised that there’s math in soccer but almost all of soccer is based on math. Soccer captures the attention of many people throughout the world. Almost all sports have math in it. The playing field is the built up of the game. The longer sides of the field, called…

M.C Escher was more than just an artist. He created art using patterns of identical shapes, that fit together with no gaps, and did not overlap, also known as tessellations. He went through many stages throughout his art, but his most lasting legacy are the tessellations he made and the mathematical impact they had. By using mathematical reasoning he was able to create the tessellations, but he had to look beyond just mathematics to dig deep into his tessellated optical illusions. M.C Escher…

Ryan- Hello and welcome to X+Y math news at 9:30!!!! Our top story - during a fight, 5 and 6 divided. The whole problem is negative 5/6k=12. to help find what k= our mathematicians have done the following steps. To solve this problem first they found the multiplicative inverse of -⅚ which is -6/5. next they changed 12 into a fraction which is 12/1 then finally they along with cross cancel. Finally they found the answer which is k=-72/5!!!!! As well as another problem has showed up in…

Quadrant one consists of the head and neck region of the mural. In this quadrant you see half of a face. The face only goes up as far to see the nostrils of the man. The man’s head is tilted backwards and there are blue and white hexagons coming out of the top half of the head. The face of the man is muscle and if you look at the next you see the muscle striations in the neck. Lastly you’ll notice that the muscles on the neck go into as much detail as showing us the muscle striations…

Students with special needs often struggle with attention and memory. Students who struggle with attention are often unable to focus on what is being taught or they simply get too tired to pay attention. Students with memory issues are unable to remember how to do things, or facts and concepts they have been taught. For both vital skills I have developed a lesson plan that will assist my students with both attention and memory building. The lesson I chose is teaching my students about shapes…

The next in sequence would be the hexagon, and we would have 2*6*10*(24-10), or 2*6*10*14/5! Which equals 1680/120 =14. The pattern is contained in the formula. When you carry out numerator you find that the next number in sequence is always an increase of 4. This seems to work for all…

Child negligence may result in the perpetrator feeling a great amount of regret. In “The Farmer’s Children,” by Elizabeth Bishop, two brothers, Emerson and Cato experience torturous neglect from their stepmother. During one very cold night, Emerson and Cato are banished by their stepmother into the frigid temperatures outside the comforts of their own home. They attempt to take refuge from the cold in a nearby barn. However, the brothers end up freezing to death under mounds of hay, that they…

When reading The Handmaid’s Tale, Margaret Atwood capitalizes on the uses and misuses of language in Gilead, as well as our society. In the book, she demonstrates that language is vital for any form of power, whether in the privacy of a bedroom, or in the public streets of the republic. Atwood demonstrates how language can undermine the human condition, namely self identity, community and self expression. However, the use of language that can enrich lives, can revitalize memories or communities…

answers to problems with a degree of accuracy, while stating the limits this is known as the method of exhaustion and he used it to approximate the value of pi. For measurement of a circle he did it by drawing a larger regular hexagon outside a circle and a smaller regular hexagon inside it. And he did this by doubling the number of sides of each polygon calculating the length of each at each step. As the number goes up it becomes more accurate of a circle. He also proved that pi equals to the…
