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.
