Geometry Connecting Earth's Orbit and the Inner Planets Geometry - Connecting Earth's Orbit and the Inner Planets Student will be able to (SWBAT) explore through the use of geometry equations that were learned this semester /(quarter) like quadratic equation, sine law, cosine law, but not limited to these, to determine: arc angles, arc lengths, secant angles, tangent, radii, chords, diameter of a circle, circumference of a circle, and the equation of a circle. Geometry - Connecting Earth's Orbit and the Inner Planets Objective: Analyze each of the four sketches for the following calculations: 1. What can we find in the relationship of Earth's orbit throughout the year at four given times connect to Geometry? 2. Can we find the Geometry related to Earth's orbit and the two inner planets and Mars outside the Earth's orbit? Things we are looking for: a. Chords, connecting Venus and Mercury to Earth's orbit, lengths and diameters b. Inscribed angles from Earth orbit through Venus and Mercury c. Inscribe angle theorem d. Inscribe polygon between Earth, Venus and Mercury e. Angle measure of arcs (minor/major) between Venus and Mercury out to Earth's orbit (Central angles) f. Arc length (minor/major) between Venus and Mercury g. Tangent segment from Mars to Earth's orbit h. Equation of Earth's orbit using exponential data (not AU data numbers) i. Secants from Mars through Venus and Mercury j.

There are 4 Drawing Representing the 4 Seasons of the Year on Earth 2. There are 10 Geometric Functional Calculations previously provided. 3. Each seasonal model must be have no less than _5_ functional calculation used on that Model 4. Each mathematical geometric function must be used at least _1_ times on one of the 4 seasonal models 5. Each geometric function must be accurate/correct for full credit on the specific function and not used more than _3_ times throughout the project. 6. This project must be submitted by May 31st 2020
