Building Bridges Instructional Overview Launch Question

Beam, arch, truss, and suspension are all types of bridges. The type chosen for a specific span depends on many factors, including the length of the bridge and how it handles tension and compression. What mathematical concepts are involved in the complexities of building bridges?

Summary

This task applies basic geometric concepts included in the chapter to the construction of different types of bridges.

Teacher Notes

Students apply basic geometric concepts to the real world. To further explore the connection between geometry and the real world, have students research actual bridges, such as the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, California, and how they are constructed.

Supplies

Handouts, Internet

Mathematical Discourse

What geometric shapes do you see in the bridges pictured throughout this task?

Writing/Discussion Prompts

What are the components engineers need to keep track of when they are designing a bridge? What are the benefits of using a suspension bridge rather than a beam bridge over a large span?

Curriculum Content Content Objectives

• Use the Segment Addition Postulate. • Find segment lengths using midpoints. • Use the Ruler Postulate. • Use the Midpoint Formula. • Use the Distance Formula. • Find perimeters of polygons in the coordinate plane. • Identify complementary and supplementary angles. • Use the Angle Addition Postulate to find angle measures. • Identify congruent angles.

Mathematical Processes

Mathematically proficient students apply the basic geometric concepts they know to find distances and angle measures used in the construction of different bridges.

Performance Task (continued)

Building Bridges Beam, arch, truss, and suspension are all types of bridges. The type chosen for a specific span depends on many factors, including the length of the bridge and how it handles tension and compression. What mathematical concepts are involved in the complexities of building bridges? 1. The span of a bridge is the length of the bridge between supports. Find each distance. a. A footbridge has a span of 54 feet. A sign is

to be placed exactly halfway across the bridge. How far will the center of the sign be from each end of the bridge?

b. A beam bridge has a total length of

168 yards. The bridge is supported at both ends and has three additional supports in the water. What is the span between any two consecutive supports?

c. A suspension bridge has two support towers.

Each tower is 1152 feet from the end of the bridge. The total length of the bridge is 4036 feet. What is the span between the towers?

d. An arch bridge crosses a river. The bridge

is supported at each end and has seven additional supports in the water. The span of each arch is 86 meters. What is the distance across the river?
