Area of basic shapes

Today in maths we are learning about the area of basic shapes.

The area can be defined as the space occupied by a flat shape or the surface of an object.


- Rectangle

the area is measured with the formula w x h 
w = width
h = Height

- Circle

The area of a circle is measured with a formula PI x R2 

Circumference = 2 x pi x r

r = Radius

PI = 22/7 or 3.141

- Triangle

The area of a circle is measured with a formula 1/2 x b x h

b = base

h = verticle height

Circles


How do I calc the circumference of a circle? Formular based

Using radiance

Circumference 2 PI Radius

Using diameter PI Diameter

 

These are the units of calculating a circle.


PI = 22/7

What is the perimeter or circumference of the circles?

- Diameter = 40 meters
- Radius = 20 meters
- PI = 22/7 or 3.141

To calc the perimeter or circumference of the circles I can use 2 PI Radius or PI Diameter.

Cir = 2 x 3.141 x 20 m
= 125.66 meters
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Radius - 15 meters
PI = 22/7 or 3.141

To calc the perimeter or circumference of the circles I can use 2 PI Radius or PI Diameter.

Cir 2x 3.141 x 15m
= 94.28m
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Diameter = 22.5 meters
Radius 11.25 meter
PI = 22/7 or 3.141

To calc the perimeter or the circumference, I am going to use PIdeiamter

Cir 3.141 x 22.5m
= 70.71 meter
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Radius = 26cm
Diameter = 52 cm 
PI = 22/7 or 3.141

To convert the radius from cm to M I am going to divide it by 100

Radius
26
------- = 0.26m
100

Diameter
52
------- = 0.52m
100

To calc the perimeter of the circumference, I am doing to use 2PI x r

Cir 2 x  PI x 0.26m 
= 1.63362817987m

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Radius = 26000mm
Diameter = 520000
PI = 22/7 or 3.141

To convert the radius from cm to M I am going to divide it by 100

26000
------------ = 260 m
100

Cir 2 x PI x 260
=1633.62817987

5 Common tools in a workshop

Carpenter pencils:

Carpenter pencils are created to be rectangle so then when they are put down on an angled surface they don't roll away



Marking blade:
A marking blade is a handle with a blade at the end. you use a marking blade when you don't have a pencil or if you prefer the indent.



Sliding bevel:
A sliding bevel is an adjustable gauge that used for setting and transferring a 90-degree angle


Rip saw:
A rip saw, or tooth saw, is an all-purpose tool for woodworking when you want to make rough cuts. 




Chisel:
A chisel is used for carving or cutting a hard material such as wood, stone, or metal by hand, struck with a mallet

Timber- VOT

Explain the different parts of a tree


Trees have three main parts - the leaves, the trunk, and the roots. The upper part of the tree with the branches is called the crown.

Outer bark

The outer bark is the tree's protection from the outside world. Continually renewed from within, it helps keep out moisture in the rain and prevents the tree from losing moisture when the air is dry. It insulates against cold and heat and wards off insect enemies.

 

Phloem

Phloem transports carbohydrates, produced by photosynthesis and hydrolysis of reserve compounds, to sink tissues for growth, respiration, and storage. At photosynthetic tissues, carbohydrates are loaded into the phloem.

 

Cambium

The cambium cell layer is the growing part of the trunk. It annually produces new bark and new wood in response to hormones that pass down through the phloem with food from the leaves. These hormones, called “auxins”, stimulate growth in cells.


Xylem

Xylem, plant vascular tissue that conveys water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant and also provides physical support. Xylem tissue consists of a variety of specialized, water-conducting cells known as tracheary elements.


Heartwood

The heartwood functions as long-term storage of biochemicals, which vary from species to species. These chemicals are known collectively as extractives.



Describe how trees become timber.

The trees get cut to a set length Then the log gets picked up by a timber lorry, which transports the timber to a processing site such as, sawmill, paper mill, pallet fencing, or construction producer, AT the chosen site the log gets debarked or bucked, Drys out, Cut to length than dressed.

Processes of timber 

Defects of tree


Defects in timber.

Defects are visible signs that a tree is failing to grow or live. These are the seven main types of tree defects dead. Wood, cracks, weak branch unions, decay, cankers, root problems, and poor tree form. These seven main types of tree defects are described below.


Different types of cut,
There are three different types of cuts in timber. Quartersaw, Riftsaw, and Plain saw
Quartersaw
- This reveals a different face for the board, giving straight grain, and the end of a board shows growth rings 60-90 degrees to the face of the board.
Riftsaw
-riftsawn wood is the least effective and most expensive means by converting a log. But it is the most stable.
Plain saw
-plain saw is just a straight cut wood. it is the most common type of cut due to it being the most inexpensive and easiest way to cut the wood.
















In New Zealand, we use four main timbers Kauri, Matai, and Rewarewa, and Rimu These timbers are chosen on the basis of their colors, grain patterns, and workability, which lend them to be creatively used.

Home Economics China Dish



 For the past seven weeks we have been researching about one country per group and then on the last week we had to cook that dish. Cole and I were in a group and we decided to make Sweet and Sour Pork representing China. The day we cooked the meal. I didn't't come because he was sick so I cole had to get help from other students. At the end of the period, he had cooked the pork and he said  it was tasty.

An inspector calls

1910-Jack Johnson beats Tommy Burns, Jack Johnson became the first black boxer to win the Heavyweight Boxing Championship was when he knocked out the reigning champion Tommy Burns on December 26th, 1910. His victory had stirred up a lot of controversy as well as the desire for a white man to reclaim the title.

1911-First Auto Electric Start, The First Electric Self Start was installed in a Cadillac By GM. Up until this time, all cars needed to be started by cranking a starting handle which was hard work and caused multiple minor injuries when the car backfired during the starting process.

1912-Sinking of the Titanic, The Titanic sets sail on her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York. The Titanic had been described as the worlds most luxurious floating hotel which is unsinkable, and was only 5 days out when she hit an iceberg and sank in the Atlantic with the loss of many lives. The Titanic was built in Belfast (between 1909 and 1911) and registered in Liverpool in 1912. Liverpool was the home port, although she never entered it. The White Star Liner left Belfast on April 2nd, 1912 and arrived in Southampton on April 4th. The crew had boarded before dawn on April 10th, and the passengers between 9.30 and 11.30 a.m. She left port at around 2 p.m. and arrived in Queenstown, Ireland before crossing the Atlantic. She struck an iceberg on Sunday, April 14th, and the ship's distress signal gave her position as Latitude 41º 46' N and Longitude 50º 14 W.

1913-First Cross Word Puzzle, The first crossword puzzle was published and created by Arthur Wynne, a Liverpool journalist. It was first published as a "word-cross" puzzle in the New York World.

1914-Federal Trade Commission, The Federal Trade Commission was organized following the Federal Trade Commission Act in 1914. Its principal mission is the promotion of "consumer protection" and the elimination and prevention of what regulators perceive to be "anti-competitive" business practices. One of its roles is to enforce antitrust laws.

1915-World War I Zeppelin raids, Zeppelin raids had started in England, the zeppelins and were able to fly at a higher altitude than the defenders' planes. They had been developed by the Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin, and were used by the German military since 1909. The German army's balloons had suffered from ground fire, but they were put to use over England: targeting the coastal towns of Yarmouth and King's Lynn in January before moving on to attack on London in May. It took a while before the British pilots had the skills and means to successfully defeat the incoming raids.

1916-Pancho Villa Attacks Columbus New Mexico, Several hundred Mexican guerrillas under the command of Francisco "Pancho" Villa cross the U.S.-Mexican border and attack the small border town of Columbus, New Mexico. Additionally, the center of the town was burned. Villa was also influential in various attacks made during the Mexican Revolution. Following his massacre of 16 U.S. citizens at Santa Isabel in Northern Mexico and 17 American Citizens in Columbus, New Mexico President Wilson had sent US forces into Mexico with orders to capture Villa dead or alive. US forces are sent to capture Villa dead or alive but give up searching for the Mexican revolutionary after nearly one year.

1917-Russian Revolution, The beginning of the Russian Revolution (Often Called The February Revolution) against Czarist Rule. It began in February 1917 following the lack of food in Petrograd and lead to the abdication by Nicholas II in March 1917 and the beginning of the Communist Party rule in Russia. After 300 years of rule by the Romanov Dynasty, Czar Nicholas II is forced to abdicate following declining popularity due to the "Bloody Sunday" massacre when palace guards shot and killed defenseless demonstrators marching on the Winter Palace.

1918-Brest-Litovsk and the Armistice, The Treaty of Brest-Litovsk ended Russia's part in the First World War, and the previous year's October Revolution had started what would become the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The Bolsheviks had promised that they would not intervene on foreign soil, and the Russian Civil War was looming. Trotsky had been made foreign minister. The fighting of the War to End All Wars had ended in the Armistice on the eleventh hour of of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918. With the Romanian army joining the Allies in 1916 the Armistice had meant that Hungary was required to give Transylvania to Romania.

1919-Creation Of The Italian National Fascist Party, Benito Mussolini establishes the Fascist Party in 1919.

What are the symbols and motifs in narrative?

Symbols are images, ideas, sounds, or words that represent something else, and help to understand an idea or a thing. Motifs, on the other hand, are images, ideas, sounds, or words that help to explain the central idea of a literary work – the theme.

What was life like in England in 1910's

The Poor, 

had few luxuries. ate food they could afford to buy worked long hours lived in damp, filthy conditions. Many children died of disease.
