Recently while sitting on my tush in the office/exercise room
the sun was coming thru the skylight
casting wonderful shadows on my hot air balloon

I will be the first to admit Geometry was not my thing...but shadows are.
As the sun moved over the house, the title of the post popped into
My Mind's Eye. Now I will share
How to make a trapezoid
An isosceles trapezoid is a trapezoid where the sides (legs) have the same length, and the base angles have the same measure. It has reflection symmetry. This is possible for acute or right trapezoids. A parallelogram is a trapezoid with two pairs of parallel sides,

Trapezoid slowing turning back into a rectangle
and finally as the sun leaves the room a triangle
We like a bit of geometry in this household!

it's hard to believe that geometry is a kind of math... it is logical, so we have some doubts that there is really math behind hahahahaha
ReplyDeleteThe sun makes interesting patterns and does a good job of displaying geometrical shapes.
ReplyDeleteSuch interesting shadows!
ReplyDeleteWe got our math lesson for today! Love the shadows.
ReplyDeleteThat is pretty interesting how the shadows make all kinds of shapes. Great post. Have a super duper day.
ReplyDeleteyou know how much I love sun shadows. these are beautiful. I don't know how I lived 74 years and have never heard the word trapezoid.. when I was the title I thought what is a trapezoid. then you showed me all of it. and your shadows did the rest. my new thing I learned today
ReplyDeleteCool shapes!
ReplyDeleteI love your hot air balloon in sun puddles!!!! Trapezoids are so cool :)
ReplyDeleteOh no! A math lesson! BOL! We love how your skylight sun puddles move across your room. We have lots of skylights too but right now they are covered in snow so no sun is getting through them.
ReplyDeleteVery cool! Maybe if somebody would have taught me like you I wouldn't have FAILED Geometry! Your balloon is darling and I love the shots where the basket? is so distinct in the shadow. Triangle framed the light switch.
ReplyDeleteThe science geeks in my family liked this post!

ReplyDeleteA visual delight! YAM xx
Great shapes and shadows. The Dad here is good at sitting in the exercise room!
ReplyDeleteWhoa, that's actually quite deep! It's nice that you had some sunshine!
ReplyDeleteVery creative!

Very deep post. Very nicely done too.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day, Cecilia. Big hug. ♥
Very cool post!!! You know our Mom was a math teacher and she loved geometry. She said your lesson was very well done:) A+++

You can find maths everywhere.....if you're maths minded! Great lesson.
ReplyDeleteWhat an eye for shadowy shapes! My hubby would also say you can find math everywhere you look...I say you have a pawsome eye for artistic shapes!
ReplyDeletewe total lee dinna pazz math in skewl...in fax de onlee thing we aced waz LUNCH BRAKE ~~~~ but we can say we like de hot air balloonz fotoz !!! ;) ♥♥
ReplyDeleteI was never good at geometry back when I was learning it ... and now, 25 years removed ... this was a great brush up!
ReplyDeleteI love your hot air balloon. Geometry was definitely not my thing, Algebra was though :) XO
ReplyDeleteThat balloon is really cute.
ReplyDeleteLove the different shapes that the sun can make. I once has a long vertical sun line on my wall and spent quite a while trying to figure out where it was coming from. It was a puzzle

Um, yeah, Ma got a D in geometry. The only not passing grade she ever got. she was able take it again, and pass. It still makes her head hurt. Loved Algebra though! ☺
ReplyDeleteI loves your balloon! Can I have a ride???
Kisses,
Ruby ♥
I knew better than to take geometry after one year of algebra!! Our new granddaughter’s bedroom is done in hot air balloons!
ReplyDeleteYou have a great blog here! would you like to make some invite posts on my blog?
