Case Based Questions:

1. A tiling or tessellation of a flat surface is the covering of a plane using one or more
geometric shapes, called tiles, with no overlaps and no gaps. Historically,
tessellations were used in ancient Rome and in Islamic art. You may find
tessellation patterns on floors, walls, paintings etc. Shown below is a tiled floor in
the archaeological Museum of Seville, made using squares, triangles and hexagons.
A craftsman thought of making a floor pattern after being inspired by the above
design. To ensure accuracy in his work, he made the pattern on the Cartesian
plane. He used regular octagons, squares and triangles for his floor tessellation
pattern

6. Carpooling: It is the sharing of car journeys so that more than one person travels
in a car, and prevents the need for others to have to drive to a location themselves.
By having more people using one vehicle, carpooling reduces each person’s travel
costs such as: fuel costs, tolls, and the stress of driving. Carpooling is also a more
environmentally friendly and sustainable way to travel as sharing journeys reduces
air pollution, carbon emissions, traffic congestion on the roads, and the need for
parking spaces.

3. We all have seen the airplanes flying in the sky but might have not thought of how
they actually reach the correct destination. Air Traffic Control (ATC) is a service
provided by ground-based air traffic controllers who direct aircraft on the ground
and through a given section of controlled airspace, and can provide advisory
services to aircraft in non-controlled airspace. Actually, all this air traffic is
managed and regulated by using various concepts based on coordinate geometry
and trigonometry.

At a given instance, ATC finds that the angle of elevation of an airplane from a
point on the ground is 60°. After a flight of 30 seconds, it is observed that the angle
of elevation changes to 30°. The height of the plane remains constantly as 3000√3𝑚.
