A real world problem could be when making a house. For example, if someone wants odd shaped windows or just standard rectangular windows, they need to be able to identify the angle measure of the window in order to be able to construct that particular size of a hole in the wall. In addition, when building the wood frame of the home, you need to make sure that the angles are exact. Suppose that you are making the frame at 90 degree angles and 45 degree angles. The constructor should be precise as to how the frame is constructed as no one wants a oddly shaped home that could potentially collapse. Therefore, angle measure is important in building a house, as it is also important in many other real life situations.

A real world problem could be during sports there are many angles to be considered. Such as in a baseball diamond the correct angle to run and the direction of your shot. In soccer and basketball the angle of your shot and movement could define if you score a goal. In tennis the angle of your ball could help you win the point and when you serve you want to catch the ball at a specific angle. So there are many sports where angles can be used in real life.

There are many ways in real life where angles have to be used. For example, when constructing a building, you need to make perferct right angles for the corners. Also, you can find angles in many famous buildings such as the Pentagon in Arlington which has 5 obtuse angles in its pentangular shape. Also, you can find several right and acute angles in the glass pyramids of the Louvre in Paris, France and in the structure of San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge. In addition, when you open a door, it could form an acute, right or obtuse angle with the door and the line where the door usually is as the sides of the angle. In the same way, the hands of a clock can make angles of different measures, acute, obtuse or right. Furthermore, planes can even form an acute angle when takeoff and landing, with the gradual increase/decrease of the plane and the ground below as the sides of the angle. These are some of the many places where angles can be found but angles can be found in literally every corner of the world and the space beyond it.

Transportation uses different angle measures all the time, whether it be a ship or plane or car or train. For example, a boat has to turn on many different angles to avoid landmasses, other ships, or just any obstacle that could be detrimental to the ship's voyage. The captain attempted to turn on a angle to avoid the iceberg on The Titanic and many modern day captains have turn the boat on an angle to have a safe voyage. A plane has to turn on different angles too, to avoid crashing into another plane and to land in the correct destination safely. A car uses different angles because it has turn onto different roads that might be at a 90 degree angle or 150 degree angle to arrive at the proper destination. A train uses different angles because it turns right and left on the train tracks in the subway or above the ground to reach the right station. The tracks have many twists and turns which will obviously result in many different angles that are being traveled on. In conclusion, many means of transportation and navigation uses different angle measures.

Different angle measures surround our everyday lives. not only are angles in everything's around, our sheer movement is composed of angle measurements. For example when walking you open your legs to a certain angle measure then you close them to form a straight line. After that you re-open your legs creating another angle. When picking up a fallen object you are bending down, creating an 90 degree arc with your back, and then also creating angles with your elbows as you move your arm to lift the object.

Even small real world scenarios require angles for example when writing the elbow forms a certain angle. When a building is being constructed builders use angles to form the base and the structure. When building a roller coaster the angles have to be exact, so it doesn't break down and injure many lives.

Angles can be used in sports such as swimming. In order to minimize water resistance, your arm has to go in at a certain angle for each stroke to make sure you are going as fast as you can without any drag.

Angles are found in many real life situations and even activities such as dancing. Most of the time, a dancer's hands and feet need to be in certain angles for the position to be executed properly. Furthermore, if body parts aren't in specific angles during particular movements, the dancer can pull a muscle or even severely injure themselves, being unable to dance for months.

While angles exist in many aspects of our lives, the most major example of this would be contruction. If you looked at the blueprints of a house, you would see the many angles that help support and add beauty to the structure. If angles did not exist, then the house would resemble nothing more than a messy heap of building materials.

A real world scenario which involves different angle measures is figure skating. When figure skaters spin on one foot, their legs create an angle. They also have to move their arms and legs gracefully. If they don't position them at a certain angle, they might not be able to spin as fast as they want to. Even when they jump their legs create an acute angle.

A real world situation that involves different angles measures is when you construct or build things. For example, when you build a glider in tech ed class, you have to fold the wings into a fifteen degree angle so that it can fly correctly. Also, when you construct a tower, you have to make sure that all the angles are equivalent or it will collapse. As you can see, angles are a big part of the real world.

Construction requires the use of many angels. For instance, when engineers are planning the design of bridges, they require carefully calculated angles to support it. This can be especially seen from a truss bridge, full of all sorts of angles.

we use angles everyday, especially in cutting diamonds. diamonds are cut at different angles in order to create the desired shape.

a real life situation that uses angles is your laptop screen. You have to adjust it to a certain angle in order to be able to read and see whats on the screen. If the angle is acute or right , you probably will not be able to see the screen correctly. You can see it the best when it is put on an obtuse angle.

There are many angle measurements which we can find in real life situations. One example, is a sheet of lined paper which we write on in class. In the corner, the edge of a paper is 90 degrees. This is a right angle. Another example, is a regular doorway. The corners of a doorway are also 90 degrees, which is also a right angle. Over all, angle measurements are used in real life situations too.

Angles are very important everyday in every building that we see. Each structure is supported by an angle such as the right angle. Triangles are the most stable and most commonly used angles. Each side supports each other making the structure stronger.

Angles are essential to our workd and many real world subjects like Geonerty circulate around it. One common example is in arcitecture when builders need to the rod and support at the right angle or else the building will collapse. Also angles are used to indentify symmertyical allignments with each rod like the idea of each support bwing at a 45 degree angle.

Suppose you put a ladder slanted in a wall to climb. To know the distance of what you need to climb, angles become a key part of the real world problem.

We see and use angle measures everyday. They're in the structures that make up our homes and buildings. They're in the roads we travel through and in everything around us... the edges on a crayon box meet to form a 90 degree angle. The design on that chapel is made up of acute angles. We are surrounded by angles all we have to do is look closer

In real life, an example of angle measure would be in a football game. A player has to judge how fast an opposing player is running so that he can calculate an angle that will intercept him.

one example can be when you sleep. sometimes, your knees can be bent in an acute angle or an obtuse angle, depending on which position is comfortable for you. If your knees are straight, it is a straight in which you are sleeping in. when your knees move, a different angle is formed.

I'm confused. Is it due Friday 11:59 PM or Sunday? Even if it is overdue, better late than never. My example is the construction of truss bridges. To maximize load and stability, certain angles must be used for the truss. (Trusses are the structures on the sides of bridges that have triangles and many steel beams)

I just saw that a lot of people are using architecture, so I don't want to use that. Instead, I'll use the example of ramps, whether in roads or just for wheelchairs. Certain angles, such as 45 deg angles, are much to steep for ramps, and right angles would be impossible unless you can "rock-climb" the wall. You need to use probably a 6 deg angle, as the gravity would pull the wheelchair much slower down the ramp than a higher measure. Comments are closed.
