What I had learned in this additional mathematics project work is the application

of coordinate geometry concept in daily life. I got experience on how to use


coordinate geometry concept and formula such as division of line segment,
distance between two points, areas of polygons and more that I had learned in
school to solve problems in everyday life. Besides, I also realized that the
concept of coordinate geometry has close connections with the linear law,
integration, vectors and simultaneous equations. For example, in worksheet 9.1
and 9.2 have shown the relations of vector and coordinate geometry concept to
find the location of student a, b and c and position of Martin, Paul and Sam
respectively. From this additional mathematics project work I had known more
deeply about a French mathematician, Rene Descartes who had contributed
knowledge in mathematics especially the Cartesian geometry. He also is the
father of modern philosophy. The concept of coordinate geometry is useful in
designing the quartz crystal to give it beautiful geometrical shape. Nowadays in
modern life, the concepts of coordinate geometry very crucial for the inventions
of technology. One of the most frequently used real life application that based on
the concept of coordinate geometry is Google Maps. When I instruct Google Maps
to show me the path from one location to other, it will show me the shortest
possible path, the distance and time. This has been proved that the concept of
coordinate geometry had been used to find the distance and location of the
place. In addition, the video games which had been popular in this century also
using the concept of geometry. Video games use geometry to help viewers
experience depth and movement. "Interactions between geometric shapes, such
as circles, squares, trapezoids and ovals, are the basic foundation of all videos
games," according to the Math Worksheet Center. Other recreational activities,
such as building kites, constructing skateboard ramps or creating Lego and
Lincoln Log structures, require geometry. Geometry allows the games creator to
determine how shapes and figures fit together to maximize efficiency and visual
appeal. From designing and construction perspective, this concept also use to
create something. Geometry allows workers to determine how much material
they need to complete a project. For example, they must calculate the
perimeter of someone yard to determine how much fencing they need or
calculate the surface area of the walls to determine how much paint they need.
Engineers, architects and builders use geometry to calculate area and volume
before they install in-ground pools or build houses and other structures.
Geometric awareness, such as the use of shapes, lines and figures, is necessary
to create layouts and designs for school projects, such as poster board displays
or electronic presentations. Overall, the concepts of coordinate geometry is a
very essential in daily life and have a closed relations with our environment.
