What is the Hubble Space Telescope used for?
Space & NavigationScientists have used Hubble to observe the most distant stars and galaxies as well as the planets in our solar system. Hubble’s launch and deployment in April 1990 marked the most significant advance in astronomy since Galileo’s telescope. What is the main purpose of the Hubble Space Telescope? Hubble was designed as a general purpose

How do you use the perpendicular bisector theorem?
Space & NavigationThe perpendicular bisector theorem states that if a point is on the perpendicular bisector of a segment, then it is equidistant from the segment’s endpoints. In other words, if we hanged laundry lines from any floor of our tower, each floor would use the same length of laundry line to reach the ground. How do

Which transformations are rigid transformations?
Space & NavigationThe rigid transformations include rotations, translations, reflections, or any sequence of these. Reflections are sometimes excluded from the definition of a rigid transformation by requiring that the transformation also preserve the handedness of objects in the Euclidean space. What types of transformations are rigid? There are four types of rigid motions that we will consider:

How do you find the perimeter of a quadrilateral?
Space & NavigationThe perimeter of a quadrilateral is the total length of its boundary. For example, the perimeter of a quadrilateral ABCD can be expressed as, Perimeter = AB + BC + CD + DA. This means if all the sides of a quadrilateral are known, we can get its perimeter by adding all its sides. How

How do you label a plane?
Space & NavigationHow do you label a plane in geometry? A plane can be named by a capital letter, often written in script, or by the letters naming three non-collinear points in the plane. For example, the plane in the diagram below could be named either plane ABC or plane P . What are four ways to

How many centimeters is the circumference of the earth?
Space & NavigationThe equitorial radius of the Earth is 6,378 kilometers (km): Therefore, 6,378 km = 637,800,000 cm. or 6.378 * 108 cm. What is the Earth’s circumference? In 200 B.C. Eratosthenes estimated Earth’s circumference at about 46,250 kilometers (28,735 miles). Today we know our planet’s circumference is roughly 40,000 kilometers (24,850 miles). How many centimeters long
