Question

Write a three sentence paragraph describing the room you are currently in. Your paragraph must include the three undefined terms of Geometry

Answer 1

Do you know what those three terms are?

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

point,line,plane

Answer 4

Ok, then pick out some points, lines, and planes in the room you are in and talk about them. Points are locations so you talk about the point where something is. Lines usually refer to straight lines - do you see any? Where? Describe it. There must be planes everywhere. What are forming planes in that room?

Answer 5

can u help me with am in a room with books as points and a desk i see a book shelf with stright lines in my house in the diner room its dark brown with lines on it.

Answer 6

Hmm, pretty good start. We can revise that a little bit.

Answer 7

Anything you want to describe as a 'plane?'

Answer 9

my table or my laptop

Answer 10

Tables make great planes! Maybe you can say something like, "My laptop is sitting on the plane of my table."

Answer 11

ok

Answer 12

..."am in a room with books as points and a desk i see a book shelf with stright lines in my house in the diner room its dark brown with lines on it."

This is good starting material, but let's clean it up a bit and make it more descriptive. You want the person reading it to imagine seeing almost the same thing you are seeing.

Answer 13

Are the books also on the table?

Answer 14

yes and thanks for helping me

Answer 15

You're welcome! This is a fun question. I like using geometry to describe things.
Are the books in a single stack (at one point) or are they scattered about (at many different points)?

Answer 16

single stack

Answer 17

Cool. Then maybe after mentioning the "plane of the table," you can say that there is a stack of books at one point on the table.

Answer 18

As for the book shelf, I think it would be more clear if you said that the edges (or sides) of the book shelf (where is the bookshelf? along the wall? in the corner?) are straight lines.

Answer 19

along the wall

Answer 20

Go ahead and mention that too. And I like that you described the color too, so keep that "dark brown" in there.
I think all together, that makes a very descriptive paragraph.

Answer 21

thanks :)

Answer 22

No prob'
Would you show me your whole paragraph here after you write it? If you're typing it somewhere else, you can copy-and-paste it, so you don't have to type it all out again.
I'd like to see it.

Answer 23

yes or do u want to write it togethere since u helped me i wouldnt want to take all the credit.

Answer 24

I have Am in aroom with books as points and a desk I see a as a plane with my laptop. But, at the edge of my table i see a stacks of books and behide the books i see my bookshelf its dark brown with striaght lines on it, along the wall.

Answer 25

a room

Answer 26

How about the first sentence be about the laptop being on the plane of the table, then the second sentence can describe the stack of books at a point on the table, and I like how you describe the bookshelf as "behind" the stack of books.

Answer 27

I still prefer saying that the sides of the bookshelf are straight lines than the bookshelf has "straight lines on it." That could sound like the straight lines are drawn on it (which might be true), but if you want to talk about the shape of the bookshelf (and geometry is all about shapes), then you can say that its sides/or edges are straight lines.

Answer 28

Also, a great way to start would be with, "In the room I am currently in, . . . " then your answer is in the same form as the question.

Answer 29

"My room is enclosed by 2 pairs of parallel planes that are opaque and no windows. The final pair of parallel planes is made up 1 plane being similar to the others but is parallel to a plane consisting of perpendicular lines made of solid steel. I can only go out of my room at certain times of the day."

Answer 30

"It was a dark night, raining. A hard rain. Hard enough to wash the slime off the street, but not the kind of people I deal with. My name is Mac, and I'm a private dic.

A blonde walked in with gams like two parallel lines stretching halfway up to heaven.

"You Mac?" she asked, eyeing me with eyes like two points of light so bright I thought I was looking into the face of eternity.

I took a drag on my cigarette and a wisp of smoke stretched up towards the plane of the ceiling. "Yeah. That's me."

Answer 31

As I strolled through the dark alley of the night, I guy suddenly held me at gun point. It was a cop who caught me switching lines too quickly and dangerously. I told him that next time I would fly a plane through his roof.
