Hey! My name is Jessica and i have a project due tomarrow. I really don't know what I am doing so if someone could help me out, that would be great. Also, if I don't make an A or B on this project I will not make an passing grade and I will be kicked the the pom pom squard at my high school(Whitehaven High yea yea). So please, please, help a sista out.
If you really don't understand what I am asking then here is an example: Pizza is in the shape of a triangle and or circle. The hands on a watch are angles.... This is what I need...Please!!! And Thank You!!

Hi Jessica,
by "mathematical shapes" the question probably means shapes that have regular, measurable, mathematical characteristics.
Some obvious examples:
- the circle (wheels etc.)
- the sphere (earth, ball bearings, bubbles)
- the pyramids
- the path of a thrown object (parabola)
- wave motion (sinusoidal)
- etc.
You can probably use search.yahoo.com for some more ideas.
hth; good luck.
REgards,
Chas.

Pizza and it's slices represent 1/4th the volume of area of that pizza; actually, that representation is based on the number of slices making up the one pizza.
The 3 and 9 o'clock hours on a analog (or hands) clock are set a 90 degree angles. Use a protractor to get the other angles, making the 12 the right angle. This was fun to do when I had to do this years ago.
