Texas Instruments: Math Today Wing Tabs Save Fuel

Curated by ACT

Using the USA TODAY Infograph, 'Wing tabs save fuel', ratios and proportions will be used to explore the concept of similarity between a drawing/model and the actual dimensions. The effects of dilation (size change) on an image and pre-image will also be explored. In addition, students will look at what happens to the corresponding sides and areas of a quadrilateral as the dilation factor increases and decreases.
