Segment Bisector

Segment Bisector

 
 
This is a dartboard which contains many different types of angles. The segment bisector breaks the actual segment. Segment bisectors could be used in the real world by architects or construction builders. 

Supplementary Angles that are not a Linear Pair

Supplementary Angles that are not a Linear Pair

 
This is the parthenon and it was built by the greeks. They put tons of angles into affect while building the parthenon such as supplementary angles that are not a linear pair. People could use this in the real world by measuring objects or making sure 2 objects are in their right place in comparison to eachother.

Skew Lines

Skew Lines

 
This photo that I took is of the intersection of two walls that can be represented as different planes. This is a form of skew lines. These lines are in different planes and don't intersect. This could be used in the world because builders work with blocks such as bricks, cinderblocks, and planks because they all contain skew lines. 

Non-Congruent Alternate Interior Angles

Non-Congruent Alternate Interior Angles


This is a map overview of the streets in Manhattan. Angles 4 and 5 represent non-congruent alternate interior angles because they are on the inside of two intersections but are on the opposite sides. Maps are used everyday in the world and it is used by people that are in a foreign place.

Adjacent Non-Supplementary Angles

 

Adjacent Non-Supplementary Angles

 
 
This is the leaning tower of Pisa and it represents adjacent supplementary angles. This might be used in real life to show how two objects balance in comparison to eachother. An architect might use this idea to make sure two objects are straight in comparison.

Vertical Angles

Vertical Angles

 
In this picture that I took, is an example of vertical angles. These are vertical angles because each angle is the same measure and there are two bisecting lines. Vertical angles can be used with scissors and prongs because they can adjust size by either increasing or decreasing the measure of one of the angles. 

Angle Bisector

Angle Bisector

 
I took this photo to resemble an angle bisector. This is an angle bisector because there is an angle and then another line splits that angle directly in half to create two new angles. People use bisectors everyday and they come in forms of protractors. 

Congruent Acute Angles

Congruent Acute Angles

 
 
This is a photo that I took of two scissors that are acute and congruent. Congruent angles could be used in the world for balance purposes for almost anything trying to stand such as a bridge so that it can evenly distribute its pressure. 


Line Perpindicular to a Plane

Line Perpindicular to a Plane

 

 
This is a green glass building. As you can see by the yellow perpindicular line on the building, it shows a right angle consisted of in a plane. People use perpindicular lines in a plane to make sure that objects are squared off perfectly. A carpenter could use it in the real world to make sure that wooden planks will fit together correctly.

Coplanar Parallel Lines




                                     Coplanar Parallel Lines






This is the Arch de Triumph and it is used as a national monument for the country of France. Two sides of the Arch can be seen as planes and with parallel lines. Architects could use this by making sure two objects are parallel to eachother on a building or house etc.
