Geometry
Ch. 3: Parallel and Perpendicular Lines
Objective- Your goal is to work together with the members of your Design Firm to accurately create a city design plan in the form of a map. As a group you need to create a name for your city.
Things to keep in mind that will make you project more creative: Street signs, animals, landscaping (trees, shrubbery, ponds, etc.), or fencing. The possibilities are endless as the imagination. Please keep it school appropriate. Remember the idea is to be visually appealing as well as geometrically correct.
Directions-
No two buildings can occupy the exact same space. Use a ruler to draw straight lines, please no freehand-drawing.
City Designers must accurately draw parallel, perpendicular, and transversal lines to create your city map design.
__________ City Name placed somewhere on your design.
__________ At least 5 parallel Streets (each must be named)
__________ At least 2 transversal streets that are NOT parallel to each other (each street must be named)
__________ At least 2 street that are perpendicular (each street must be named)
All buildings must be given names using signs either on or near the building
_____ Sketch a house and a school of a pair of consecutive interior angles
_____ Sketch a bank and a post office on a pair of corresponding angles
_____ Sketch a grocery store (or general store) and an electronics store on a pair of alternate interior angles
_____ Sketch a movie theater and a pet shop on a pair of alternate exterior angles
_____ Sketch a sheriffs office/courthouse halfway between the bank and post office
