Ship Signatures -- Angles Geometry - 21st Century Math Project
Keeping our Navy safe is a tricky proposition in today’s world. Sonar and radar systems are designed to find ships, and if an enemy finds one, it could increase the danger for those onboard. A ship’s signature is a measurement of how visible it is on radar. Right angles in a ship’s design increase its signature because it is more identifiable as a manmade object. Every aspect of the ship is designed to avoid right angles. In this 21st Century Math Project, you will be given a mapping to the Cont
