You should be able to calculate circumference
and also be able to find the arc length
of a quarter circle. You will also need to apply the Pythagorean theorem and use trigonometry
functions or in a 30-60-90 triangle.
While preparing the milling instructions for this base plate
to be produced, you will demonstrate your ability to perform the
following mathematical skills:
1.) To graph and label points on the Cartesian coordinate
system
In order to help you to better
understand the Cartesian coordinate system, please download and try
this
Microsoft Excel program created by
Ed Malczewski from the
MSTE office.
2.) To describe, in terms of circles and lines, the path of a
figure on the Cartesian coordinate system
3.) To calculate the slope of a line and to write equations
for vertical and horizontal lines
4.) To apply the Pythagorean
Theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle
and/or use trig functions to find the missing sides of a right triangle
5.) To find the center, radius,
diameter, circumference, and arc length of a circle
