Descriptors: Geometry, Mathematical Applications, Mathematical Enrichment, Mathematical Models

Bonsangue, Martin V. – Mathematics Teacher, 1993
Geometric interpretations and derivations of the six trigonometric relationships are demonstrated. Selected for discussion are limiting values, geometric verification of trigonometric identities, a one-dimensional illustration of the Pythagorean relationships, and the geometric derivation of infinite-series relationships. (DE)
Descriptors: Geometry, Mathematical Concepts, Mathematical Models, Mathematics Education

Craig, T. W.; Kiang, D. – Physics Teacher, 1991
Presents a problem to determine conditions under which two identical masses, constrained to move along two perpendicular wires, would collide when positioned on the wires and released with no initial velocity. Offers a solution that utilizes the position of the center of mass and a computer simulation of the phenomenon. (MDH)
Descriptors: Computer Simulation, Enrichment Activities, Force, Geometry

Daniels, David S. – Mathematics Teacher, 1993
Discusses the problem of finding the amount of fence it would require for the outfield fence of a baseball field of given dimensions. Presents different solution methods for each of the levels from grades 9-12. The different methods incorporate geometry, trigonometry, analytic geometry, and calculus. (MDH)
Descriptors: Analytic Geometry, Baseball, Calculus, Geometric Concepts
