Hey there, i got a project for math due this wed. and its over geometric concepts and i picked it over football. now being brain dead since i only got 9 more days of school left, i have no idea what a geometric concept is.....could any of you give me some examples so i know what to do. thx

geometric concept?

i dunno....... a cube?

Think inside the hexahedron.

hypercube.

so say the field is a rectangle or rectangular prism? would that work?

go for it.

imho. wrong place so ask for hw help.

A field becoming a rectangle or a prism?

Just post the math question.

ya i know its a bad place to ask, but then again with all the COugh nerds around i thought it be a good place to ask.

i need 10 examples of how geometric concepts is essensital to football

I did a project like this for soccer when I was in middle school.

I'm a GEEK, not a nerd so don't look at me for anything non-computer related :p

Vectors are important for field goals.

1. sphere
2. retctangle
3. straight lines.. (wtf?)
4. angles....
5. direction vectors.
6. graphs
7. ..
8...
9.
10.

cant think of more, im le tired.

7. nets (?)
8. elipse
9. balance, centre of mass (?)
10. tangents.

cant think of more, im le tired.

(oh crap double post i need some sleep. - good luck with your project)

just in case the tangent is confusing, think of when the player hits the ball, so that it spins and while it spins it doesnt go straight. For that the player must hit the ball with the side of his foot. imagine it in 2d and the side of his foot will be the tanget to a circle which is the ball. thoretically. i think. anyway. sleep. i need.

I think he means American football

Most of those could still be applied.

he didnt specify. no more steak.

help you out?


There's no way out of here, when you come in you're in for good... There's no way out of here, when you look out you don't see in...

parabolas when the quarterback throws a pass

ya i ment american footbal btw, sorry forgot theirs people over the seas

so far i got this stuff

1 area of field
2 line segments
3 a cylinder
4 perpendicular lines
5 diameter of the football (biggest part of it)
6 lenth of football
7 angles like 180,90, and 45 for my position i play (outside linebacker) and have to run when i read the end man of line.
8 rectangle
9 trying that tangent thing but yea....i lookin in my math book and i get it but i dont think my teacher will buy it ....
10 parabolas- need to look this up but i was thinkin about doing soemthing like this but didnt know what it was but now i know thx
11 would the goal posts make like a square? or is it more of a rectangle?
12 mid point 50 yd line
13 parallel lines

so i got like 13 things to choose from only need 10, thx for the help!
