Scribe Post, Chapter 9, Charles 11/17/09

Sooooo because Jojo has been struck with the bubonic plague for the past few days. Our schedules have been a lil bit off-ish between the 3 classes. Ya figgadeal me? So for some of you this may be a review of the day and for others you should consider reading this post as "getting ahead". It'll almost be as if you know what Jojo will say before he says it. In 3rd period today (SHOUT TO MY ClASSMATES) we started working on Chapter 9 which revolves around finding the Volume of 3-Dimensional geometric figures. As Jojo began his lecture today on Chapter 9 he introduced us to a "term" that helps describe a certain type of 3D geometric figure. This term is known as a...Dunh...Dunh ....DUUUUUNH.... "STUBBY" (or stubbies/stubbys for plural). This term is the first cousin once removed of the infamous "Animal" you've probably heard Jojo say a couple of times in class. Well a stubby is described as, " A 3D geometric figure that has the same shape for the base as it has for the top."

This cylinder for example would be classified as a stubby because it's bases are the same shape.

But this cone cannot be classified as a stubby because even though it is a 3D geometric figure it does not have two bases that are the same shape.

In order to find the volume of the stubby you must use the formula V=AH when V=volume, A=Area and H=Height.
After all of these rules about the stubby were written down Coco Jadray caught wind of another headache due to his chronic bubonic plague therefore we sadly could not continue our lesson and we began to use what learned from the reading we did the night before and lesson we learned about our new friend the stubby and began to do our homework. This consisted of knowing all the formulas to find the volume of the geometric figures we will be studying in class. Soooooo I took the liberty of finding some brief videos that will help give us the basic idea of how to use the formulas and find the volume of the different geometric figures given on present and future homework, DQs, and tests.
