In this image a composite solid is shown demonstrated by a house. A composite solid is a solid formed by two more solids. In this image the roof(in red) of the house is acting as one solid, which is a triangular prism. The base(in blue) is acting as the other solid, which is a rectangular prism. These two solids form together to make one composite solid. The picture was taken of my neighbors house in my community after school.

Regular Polygon:
In this picture there is a select club soccer ball. This object is important because on the outside of the ball there is several pentagons surrounding the outer foam. A pentagon is a polygon with 5 congruent sides, that creates 5 triangles inside the polygon. This image is significant because it portrays a pentagon on the front of the soccer ball. Each side of the pentagon is congruent on the soccer ball. These pentagons help the design of the soccer ball because when a soccer player kicks the ball, the foam pentagons help elevate and project the shot farther. The pentagons act as a puzzle on the ball, all matching up with each other like bee hives. I took this picture at my house yesterday. This object is used in the sport soccer and also as a ball to play around with.

Supplementary Angles that are not a linear pair:
In this Image, the object shown is a Sony Television. This TV is significant because it portrays two supplementary angles that are not a linear pair. The opposite corners of the TV create the supplemmentry angles. Angle 1 and angle 2 are both 90 degrees, making them congruent. Both angles add up to 180 degrees creating supplementary angles. What makes them non linear, is the fact that they are not on the same line or adjacent to eachother. The picture was taken in my house over the weekend and shows my Sony TV in my family room. This object is used to watch movies and television with your family.

Non-Congruent Alternate Interior Angles
The object in the picture is an Exxon gas station sign. This object is significant because it portrays non-congruent alternate interior angles within the "X" on the sign. The "X" has three lines that intersect at two points, which creates the alternate interior angles. These angles are non congruent, as angles 1 is acute and angle 2 is obtuse. The two lines that intersect are slightly slanted in different directions. This is what makes the angles non congruent. This sign is used to represent that gas prices for Exxon's station. They are looking a bit pricy today! I took this image over Easter weekend as I was driving down the road.

Skew Lines
This image shows a corner of my family room. This corner portrays the corner of a box or cube. The skew lines are marked in red, showing that the lines never intersect. I decided to use this photo to represent skew lines because it was the perfect corner to show non-intersecting lines. With the two walls adjacent to eachother I could show the skew lines in this image. This picture was taken in my house in my family room. Skew lines are non intersecting lines. I felt as if this corner of the room could best portray a real life image of skew lines.

Congruent isosceles Triangles
The two object shown in the picture are candle holders. Both of these objects are identical, they are just different colors. The candle holders have a sail/Triangle in front of them to protect the flame. This object relates to and exhibits properties of the geometric idea by having congruent lengths of the sail/triangle. In the picture below, the lengths and angles are labled to show the congruency of the triangles. The candle holders were found at my friends house over the weekend. They were sitting on a table near his front door. This object is used as a candle holder today. The object could also be used as decoration for the house. When I found these two objects they looked perfect for the blog!
