Geometry Project

This is Striste-Kega-Oena, my group’s city. We decided to come up with a unique name because, well, no one else would’ve used it. Everything that a town would need, essentially of course, is there. Houses, apartments, a hospital, a doctor’s office, court house, gas station, park, Fire Department, Police Department, a lake, a creek, a school, a restaurant, and a bank. We thought that these would be the most vital structures for a city to have. Most of these things were required, of course, but it would be difficult for a town to survive without some of the things we added, like a Police Department.

 

We used lots of different angles and measurements to plan out this project. We used parallel lines, the angle at which a road was places, and several different angle types.

We used angles like:

– Vertical Angles (angles that are opposite one another where lines cross that have the same measure)

– Alternate Interior Angles (two angles on the inside of parallel lines on opposite sides of the transversel)

-Corresponding Angles (two angles of the same measure that if moved on top of one another would overlap perfectly)

 

I really enjoyed getting to help come up with the names for all the individual streets and buildings in our city, since I was the City Planner. Without counting all the buildings, our city has one line of symmetry. It would go straight down the main street in our city, Dreams Boulevard. It runs directly through the center of our city, so in the middle of that street is where that line of symmetry would be. If the line were in any other place, then our city would no longer be symmetrical. I really think that our group did really well on this project, and that we all did our best to make an original city.
