Princess of Parallelograms
Anne Isabella Byron was born on May 17, 1792. From an early age, it was obvious that Anne was a very smart child. To help her intelligence blossom, her parents hired a tutor for her, a man named William Frend. Frend was a former Cambridge professor, and challeged young Byron like any Cambridge student. Anne excelled in many of her classes, but esspecial enjoyed math. This love and enjoyment of math led her father to give her the title of his "ptincess of parallelograms."

careers and my questions
Many geologists and meteorologists use this kind of geometry to predict the movement of weather, the formation and placement of land masses, and to predict wave movement.
I wonder how this kind of geometry can be used to predict how light will act as is changes mediums and goes though the circle in a real world situation.

Chapter 10
Though our study of chapter ten i have learned many things. I now understand how the arcs of circles relate to the inscribed and central angles inside of a circle. I can comprehend how how tangents relate to each other i f they are tangent to the same circle and intersect. I have learned the relationships between secant lines and a circle and why they are important to finding angles exterior of a circle. Along wit these new skills I have also had the opportunity to review the implications of radii, diameters, and chords in a circle. Chapter ten has taught me a lot and allowed me to understand circles better.
