This activity focuses on a real-world application of geometry: a sculptor’s use of math to plan the scale and orientation of her work. In this segment, the artist explains how she uses a protractor to measure the position and angle at which components of the sculpture should be placed in relation to surrounding structures. The module reviews concepts related to calculating the interior angles of a triangle and offers opportunities to practice and self-check.
