W11E01 Monday -Applied Math in the AM. Shop in the PM

0.707 Constant
More work with right angle triangle and all the relationships between angle and sides. We know that, in a right angle triangle with 45 degree fittings the relationship between the offset and the travel is 1 to 1.414. The same arrangement works in reverse, if we know the travel and want to figure out the offset, multiply travel times .707.

We also reviewed the formula and constants for equal spread offsets that you will need to work on the soldered copper assignments in the shop. Check out the Pipe Trades Handbook p.263.

Instead of a quiz this Friday afternoon we will meet one on one in the AM to review your quiz results and figure out where you stand. If I owe you any points on quizzes, show me and I will adjust your grades accordingly.

Also this week on Friday, we will have the apprenticeship audit where a group of people from Manitoba Apprenticeship will be here checking out the program to determine if we can be accredited to offer Level 1 Apprenticeship. They will be checking out all of the tools, the shops, the classroom and curriculum. No classes in the PM.
