Basketball Court Reflection

Over the past three weeks in my workshop Prove it or Lose it we have been discussing many proofs and the why as to just solving a problem. This course was very interesting and focused mainly on how to understand a problem in depth. Recently we have went over reflections in the real world and how to incorporate them in class. We played a game called Pong and this showed us an example of a real life reflection. To me this was pretty neat and I saw that I could them make a reflection with angles on my own topic. So the thing that I would want to make a reflection of is a basketball court. This will be a difficult task but I think I could do it.

What are reflections?

A reflection is a transformation in which the figure is the mirror image of the
other. Basically this means something depicted on the other side of a figure
and is reflecting. Reflection can also be called as flip.

Find a reflection based on a real life = Basketball Court

Here I made a reflection of this court on a graph going by ten. I decided to place the dots at the foul line on each court.

Coordinates

Reflected on its X axis.(-3,8.75) (-6,8.75)

(5,8.85) (3, 8.75)
I did this on GeoGebra that's how I got the x y coordinates.

For my second measurement I came to the conclusion to make an angle on the two separate court

On the left

• Acute Angle from both free throws to baseline of half court 35/40 

On the right

• Right angle from the top of the key to the free throw to the corner baseline 90 

In conclusion from this action project I have learned how to identify slope on a graph from different viewpoints and variations. I have learned some new math vocabulary words and how to problem solve. Overall this project was very frustrating and unclear on certain expectations. Also I couldn't get GeoGebra to corporate what I was thinking so my pictures were done by hand but the coordinates for the graph were from GeoGebra. Next time I will do my best to work harder and more persistent.
