137.5°
What polygon forms the eye of the dragonfly?
Hexagon
It states the fact that the same thing always happens in the same circumstances.
Regularity in the world
It is a discernible regularity in the world or in a man-made design.
Pattern
It means an agreement in dimensions, due proportion, and arrangement; a sense of harmonious.
Symmetry
TRUE OR FALSE?
In mathematics, symmetry means that an object is invariant to any of various transformations including the following:
a) Reflection
b) Rotating
c) Scaling
d) Spiral
TRUE
It is under symmetry transformation that refers to an object that is flipped, inverted, or mirrored.
Reflection
It is under symmetry transformation that refers to a figure that turns either clockwise or counterclockwise, having the same number of degrees in rotation.
Rotating
It is under symmetry transformation that refers to an expanding or shrinking object. Its size changes but not the shape.
Scaling
It is a curve that emanates from a point, moving farther away as it revolves around the point.
Spiral
TRUE OR FALSE?
Porifera has no symmetry.
TRUE
TRUE OR FALSE?
Radial Symmetry can be found in Arthropoda.
FALSE. Arthropoda has a Bilateral Symmetry
TRUE OR FALSE?
Cnidaria has a Radial Symmetry.
TRUE
It is one of a series of regular sinuous curves, bends, loops turns, or windings in the channel of a river, stream, or other watercourses.
Meander
It is a disturbance that transfers energy through matter or space, with little or no associated mass transport.
Wave
It consists of oscillations or vibrations of a physical medium or a field, around relatively fixed locations.
a) Meander
b) Fracture/Crack
c) Wave
c) Wave
It is the separation of an object or material into two or more pieces under the action of stress.
a) Meander
b) Fracture/Crack
c) Wave
b) Fracture/Crack
TRUE OR FALSE?
If a displacement develops perpendicular to the surface of displacement, it is called a shear crack, slip band, or dislocation.
FALSE. It is called a normal tensile crack or simply a crack
TRUE OR FALSE?
If a displacement develops tangentially to the surface of displacement, it is called a shear crack, slip band, or dislocation.
TRUE
They are made by a series of bands or strips, often of the same width and color along the length.
a) Wave
b) Stripes
c) Fractal
b) Stripes
According to them, “Math is a subject that makes students either jump for joy or rip their hair out. However, math is inescapable as you become an adult in the real world.”
Katie Kim (2015)
TRUE OR FALSE?
The importance of Mathematics includes all of the following, except?
a) Restaurant Tipping
b) Netflix Film Viewing
c) Washing Dishes
c) Washing Dishes
TRUE OR FALSE?
Calculating Bills, Doing Exercise, and Surfing Internet are under the Importance of Mathematics.
TRUE
According to them, “Mathematics relies on both logic and creativity, and it is pursued both for a variety of practical purposes and for its intrinsic interest.”
American Association for the Advancement of Science (1990)
It is the science of patterns and relationships.
Mathematics
TRUE OR FALSE?
As a theoretical discipline, Science explores the possible relationships among abstractions without concern for whether those abstractions have counterparts in the real world.
FALSE. The statement refers to Mathematics.
It refers to noticing a similarity between two or more objects or events.
Abstraction or process of abstraction
TRUE OR FALSE?
Mathematics is abstract. Its function goes along well with Science and Technology.
TRUE
TRUE OR FALSE?
The first phase of Mathematical Inquiry is representing some aspects of things abstractly.
TRUE
TRUE OR FALSE?
The second phase of Mathematical Inquiry is seeing whether the new relationships say something useful about the original things.
FALSE. The statement refers to the third phase.
TRUE OR FALSE?
The second phase of Mathematical Inquiry is manipulating the abstractions by rules of logic to find new relationships between them.
TRUE
TRUE OR FALSE?
Any mathematical relationship arrived at by manipulating abstract statements may or may not convey something truthful about the thing being modeled.
TRUE
TRUE OR FALSE?
Common sense is always not enough to enable one to decide whether the results of mathematics are appropriate.
FALSE. Sometimes, it is enough.
TRUE OR FALSE?
Katie Kim said that Accountants, Architects, Biologists, Chemists, and other professions use Mathematics in their scope and field of work.
FALSE? It was stated by Mark Karadimos (2018).
They assist businesses by working on their taxes and planning for upcoming years. They work with tax codes and forms, use formulas for calculating interest, and spend a considerable amount of energy organizing paperwork.
a) Managers
b) Lawyers
c) Accountants
c) Accountants
They design buildings for structural integrity and beauty. They must know how to calculate loads for finding acceptable materials in design which involve calculus.
a) Managers
b) Architects
c) Accountants
b) Architects
They study nature to act in concert with it since we are very closely tied to nature. They use proportions to count animals as well as use statistics or probability.
a) Medical Doctors
b) Biologists
c) Chemists
b) Biologists
They find ways to use chemicals to assist people in purifying water, dealing with waste management, researching superconductors, analyzing crime scenes, making food products, and working with biologists to study the human body.
a) Medical Doctors
b) Biologists
c) Chemists
c) Chemists
They build products, structures, and systems like automobiles, buildings, computers, machines, and planes. They cannot escape the frequent use of a variety of calculus.
a) Engineers
b) Architects
c) Politicians
a) Engineers
They argue cases using complicated lines of reason. That skill is nurtured by high-level math courses. They also spend a lot of time researching cases, which means learning relevant codes, laws, and ordinances. Building cases demands a strong sense of language with specific emphasis on hypotheses and conclusions.
a) Managers
b) Lawyers
c) Accountants
b) Lawyers
They maintain schedules, regulate worker performance, and analyze productivity.
a) Managers
b) Lawyers
c) Accountants
a) Managers
They must understand the dynamic systems of the human body. They research illnesses, carefully administer the proper amounts of medicine, read charts/tables, organize their workload and manage the duties of nurses and technicians.
a) Medical Doctors
b) Biologists
c) Chemists
a) Medical Doctors
They carry out the detailed instructions doctors give them. They adjust intravenous drip rates, take vitals, dispense medicine, and even assist in operations.
a) Medical Doctors
b) Biologists
c) Nurses
c) Nurses
They help solve the social problems of our time by making complicated decisions within the confines of the law, public opinion, and budgetary restraints.
a) Engineers
b) Architects
c) Politicians
c) Politicians
