Exploration 1

1.First we construct a 120 degree angle three times2.In the first triangle, we make line AC

3.On the second triangle, we make line AC>BC and this makes no triangles because the point C isn't long enough to reach ray A so a triangle could not be formed

4.On the third triangle, we make line BC=AC and this also does not make a triangle because point A is also point C therefore it cannot connect to ray A

The rule is on an obtuse angle, when AC

Exploration 2

1.First we construct three 30 degree triangles and construct a perpendicular bisector on each triangle

2.On the first triangle, we measure the height and draw line BC, making it longer than the height which makes one triangle

3.On the second triangle, we also measure the height and make line BC same is the height which makes one triangle

4.On the third triangle, we make line BC shorter than the height which forms no triangle

The rule is in an acute triangle, when BC>AC then 1 triangle, also when BC=AC then it is also one triangle

Exploration 3

1. First, we draw a 6cm line, 7cm line, 8cm line and a 30 degree angle.

2. Then we construct a 30 triangle, making line AC 7cm (copying the line), and making 2 BC lines that are both 6m long.

3. Then we construct a perpendicular bisector as the height

4. Measure the height

Then we see that we can have 2 triangles when line AC is greater than line BC and this is all greater than the height (AC>BC>h)

Remedial College Classes cost Billions

I believe this news should tell us that we should try harder in high school while they can in order to avoid paying for it in college. This should really push students to do their best unless they want to pay later on. And all that hard work will pay off, they can achieve good grades so they can actually get in a good college and if they tried hard enough in high school then they wouldn't have to deal with it in college. Probably take AP or HP classes while you can no matter how hard they are. And you have to learn the material, not only be familiar with it. They may not know it but it will help them in the long run. All these will help you save money in the future.

Cyber Bullying

I believe this law is somewhat good and somewhat bad. Its like bitter-sweet. The penalties are pretty harsh but something does need to be done to stop this. People may not realize this but the things they write or do online is very revealing and most of the time it can be hurtful to others. I do agree that cyber bullying should stop but the consequences are too much in my opinion. It should be $500fine and 6 months in prison or something like that. Everyone expects to be safe and have their name concealed behind a computer screen but this law contradicts it all.

Chapter P, Applying Linear Equations in Two Variables

Chapter P is mainly about linear equations. A linear equation can be be represented as Ax+By+C=0 and you can use this to find the x-intercept and y-intercept. Linear equations only have one point of intersection on the x-axis and these can be found in equations such as slope-intercept form or point-slope form.
