Geometry in the Real

World

By: Victoria Sherman

Point
A point describes
location. It has no
length, width, or depth. I
chose this picture for
point because the pupil
looks like a point.

Line
A line continues forever.
It has an infinite length. I
chose this picture
because a railroad goes
on forever like a line.

Plane
A plane is a flat surface. A
plane can be defined by 3
non-collinear point. I chose
this picture because a stop
sign is a flat surface.

Segment
A segment is a line that
has 2 endpoints. I chose
this picture because the
leaf has a line that has 2
endpoints.

Ray
A ray has 1 endpoint and
the other end goes on
infinitely. I chose this
picture because the San
Francisco bridge has an
endpoint and the other
way is going infinitely
long.

Collinear points
A collinear point is where
3 or more points lie on
the same line. I chose this
picture because the
baseball field has a plane
with 3 or more points on
it.

Acute Angle
A acute angle is an angle
less than a right angle
which is 90 degrees. I
chose this picture
because the pizza slice is
an acute angle.

Obtuse Angle
A obtuse angle is an
angle that measures
more than 90 degrees
and less than 180
degrees. I chose this
picture because the
Chinese fan looks like an
obtuse angle.

Right Angle
A right angle is
something that equals
90 degrees. I chose this
picture because the
sandwich looks like a
right angle.

Perpendicular Lines
A perpendicular line is a
line that connects at a
90 degree angle. I chose
this picture because the
sign is connecting at a
90 degree angle.

Complementary Angle
A complementary angle is
where the 2 angles sum is
90 degrees. I chose this
picture because the clock
hands is a angle and it
equals 90 degrees

Supplementary Angles
A supplementary angle is
where either one of the 2
angles sum is 180
degrees. I chose this
picture because the tree
branches has a angle that
is 180 degrees.

Vertical
Angles
A vertical angle is where
each of the opposite
pairs of opposite angles
made by two
intersecting lines. I
chosed this picture
because the dining room
chairs are opposite of
each other.

Equilateral Triangle
A equilateral triangle is
where all three sides are
congruent. I chosed this
picture because the
triangle has three equal
sides.

Scalene
Triangle
A scalene triangle is
where all the angles are
unequal. I chosed this
picture because the
little triangle is scalene
and has unequal sides.

Isosceles
Triangle
A isosceles triangle is
where it has two sides of
equal length. I chosed
this picture because it
has a isosceles triangle
with two sides of equal
length.
