I certainly have to credit Professor Simon Blackburn, University of London, for his original work which sparked my interest in the subject.[br][url=https://www.ma.rhul.ac.uk/SRBparking]https://www.ma.rhul.ac.uk/SRBparking[/url][br][br]Even though Geogebra was never mentioned by name in any of the news articles, it was central to my being able to visualize the problem better and test/confirm my equations.[br]Created by Jerome White
This exercise is intended to find the minimal distance required for a parallel parking spot (beyond the length of the car itself). Adjust the sliders to see how the various parameters affect the outcome. [br]1. Work with a partner to determine what each of the slider variables control. Define each variable and label on the recording diagram.[br]2. What assumptions about this situation did Mr. White make when creating this model of parallel parking?[br]3. What are 3 interesting things you NOTICE about this model of parallel parking?[br]4. What are 3 things you WONDER about this model of parallel parking?[br]5. Determine the values
