| How would fractions be used to determine the usage of this building? |
In Pre-Algebra today, students briefly reviewed 5-1: Points, Lines, Planes and Angles by going over their Weekend Practice with Mr. Giomini. In 5-2: Parallel and Perpendicular Lines, students identified alternate interior, exterior and corresponding angles when analyzing parallel lines intersected by a transversal.
Today's Learning Goals: The student will be able to...
- identify parallel lines and perpendicular lines.
- calculate the value of missing angles by using the properties of transversals to parallel lines.
For Evening Practice, it is suggested that the student...
- answer problems 11 through 21, 22, 25 and 26 - 33 on pages 230 and 231.
- post a response to the blog question below.

| How are parallel lines and transversals used in city planning or airport construction? |
Parallel lines and transversals are used in the construction of an airport because if you put non parallel lines in the construction then either the workers or the plane flyers will get confused. I know that my father is a air traffic controller and the parallel lines make it easy for him to understand where the planes are suppose to land so he nor the plane flyer will get confused and not crash into another plane.

The fairways are parallel so the plane can land on the ground and are parallel because it is hard to turn a plane. There are transversal because other planes fly down and goes to a different place.

I would say that parallel lines and transversals are used in a airport construction because if you use too hard of a concept and the construction workers might accidently make something wrong and they would have to plow and re-make the whole thing over again. Another reason that might be a problem would be the air traffic controllers would have to memorize something that might be to complex so they wouldn't be able to fly someone to the right spot and there might be a chance of there being a accident.

the usage of the building for fraction,say a boss gets 102,875 dollars per month,he has to pay an electric bill,a heating bill and grocies, the gorcies could be 5/18 of his salary,the heat could be 2/6 and the electric bill could be 10/12 of his salary.and for the Pre Algebra question it could be the highway parking lot and the runway

The parallel lines might be used for planes to take off in the air and the transversal might be used for emergency exits, for different plane brands, or for courses the other airplanes have to take.

Parallel lines are used in the different streets such as: Fay Ave. is parallel to Vineyard Rd. and Sunset Rd. Electric Ave. is transversal to all three of Fay, Vineyard, and Sunset.

Parallel lines are used in an airport because airplanes need straight lines to park and not run into the buildings. Also, transversal lines are used because other airplanes must take off without hitting other planes or people!

the parallel lines are used for storing the planes and the transversal lines are for take off

Parallel and traversal lines could be used in city planning as roads and sidewalks.

Parallel and transversal (perpendicular) lines are used in city planning because if you look at streets, telephone lines, underground pipes, etc., you can see that streets are usually perpendicular forming four 90 degree angles where they intersect. But sometimes, streets can intersect with two angles less than 90 degrees (acute), and two angles greater than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees (obtuse). The same goes for some telephone lines. But as for underground pipes, we don't know exactly know where the go, but mostly the construction people who made and looked at the blueprints know. I, probably along with most others, would think that with underground pipes, there might not be many diagonal pipes. Probably mostly horizontal and vertical pipes mostly make up the directions of the pipes.

The fractions could show how much is off the price. Also how thick the glass is.
