What is the difference between non-parallel lines in the same plane and skew lines

The difference is  that  non-parallel lines on the same plane cross but are not perpendicular and still are on the same plane. Skew lines are lines that are not on the same plane and don't intersect at all.

What I Learned about Parallel, Perpendicular, and Skew Lines

I learned that a parallel line never intersects the other line. That a perpendicular line intersects the other line but its only declared perpendicular if it is right angle. I also learned that a skew line has two lines not on the same plane and not intersecting.

The Difference between Vertical Angles and Linear Pairs

The difference between a vertical angle and a linear pair is a vertical angle has four angles with the angle across from the other is the same. While a Linear Pair is a line that has two angles and they both added together equal 180 degrees.

The Law of Syllogism

The Law of Syllogism is satements are true then the middle term or the third term must also be true as well.

Desmos Graph House


Desmos House Graph

My Desmos house graph was not too challenging, it just took a lot of work. The house by itself without the roof was easy just long. But the roof was pretty difficult to figure out, especially with how to stop it. 
I used several right angles in the windows, door, walls, and ceiling. I used acute angles where the roof and walls met and where the satellite and roof meet. Then I used an obtuse angle where the satellite and the roof come off down to the ground. 
I learned how to put in coordinates a lot easier and faster now. I also remembered my slope formula for the roof. 

How Many Handshakes


How Many Handshakes

The question was how many handshakes it would take for everybody to shake everybody's hand. The challenge was how many times it went up for everybody to shake. We went through a process. We(5) used geometric figures. For one person there would be 0, for 2 there would be 1, for three there would be three, for four there would be six, for five there would be ten. 
1 Person
2 People
3 People
4 People
5 People
The shapes would be a line, a triangle, square with a cross inside, and an octagon with a star inside.
Line
Triangle
Square with a cross inside
Pentagon with a star inside
In conclusion you can definitely use geometry for a lot of cool and useful stuff. Just look at the triangle.

Why Math?

Why Math?

Math is used in every day life. Personally you can use it for maybe how many calories you ate yesterday or how many pound you have lost from last month. 
Overall you could use math practically by measuring how tall the building was or the surface area around a baseball field. 
Also even in scripture in Revelation 21: 15-21 the angels used had a gold sort of ruler and measured Jerusalem. 
So obviously math is really important and there is not a lot of reasons why it could not be used. 
The doorway in math that stands out to me is the practical because like I said in Revelation 21: 15-21 the angels sent from God used rods or rulers to measure the new Jerusalem temple. And I think it is so cool because even when God could just know the measurements he sent His angels to do practical doorway of math. 

Hello World


Hello World

My name is Myles Rowe and the three most important things to me are my family, my racing, and my education. 
This year I am excited about going to a big race in Las Vegas, freshman year of high school, getting sponsorships, and meeting new people. 
This year I am anxious about getting to know everybody, going to more national races, and getting stronger from weight training.
One thing you might not know about me is that I race cars nationally.
