Week 7 math blog post
This week I learned how to find a side length of a right angle triangle if all I knew was a angle and one other side length. In this equation I knew an angle and the opposite side length so I used SOH CAH TOA to figure out that this triangle was a tan question. You want the X in this question to be the numerator in order to do this you recipicate but what you do to one side you must to to the other so once you have recipicated both you are left with 1/tan 8 = x/5 then you divide 5 by tan 8 the answer to that is 35.6 which is the answer to x.
Solving trig equations
You use sin when you have two of these measurements= a angle, the hypotenuse length, or the opposite side length. SOH stands for Sin, Opposite, Hypotenuse. In the equation we are looking for the angle or x so the equation is Sin x = 3/10. Since we need to figure out x we use the button on our calculator that says sin-1 then times it by 3/10 to get our answer of x.
You use cos when you have two of these measurements= a angle, the adjacent side length, or the hypotenuse side length. CAH stands for Cos, Adjacent, Hypotenuse. In the equation we are looking for the angle or x so the equation is Cos x = 12/19. Since we need to figure out x we use the button on our calculator that says cos-1 then times it by 12/19 to get our answer of x.
You use Tan when you have two of these measurements= a angle, the adjacent side length, or the opposite side length. TOA stands for Tan, Opposite, Adjacent. In the equation we are looking for the angle or x so the equation is Tan x = 6/9. Since we need to figure out x we use the button on our calculator that says Tan-1 then times it by 6/9 to get our answer of x.

2. “I have hired a place to work on, and have bought two acres of land”. This quote explains how land in Canada was available and a lot easier to get.
“A man can get more information in Canada about slavery, than he can in the South.” This quote explains how Canada was more open and knoledgable then the south.

Math 10 – week 5
This week I learned how to covert a measurement when the unit has an exponent. What you do is write the last conversion multiple times. If the exponent is a 2 you would repeat it twice, if it is a three you would repeat it three times and so on.
Irish Immigration
I see a English man talking to an Irish pig. At this time lots of Irish people were being evicted from there homes. I think that they made the man a pig to represents him pleading to stay and show that the English did not think of them very highly. I think the author was trying to represent how the Irish was not respected by the British. The English mans hat makes me think he is the English Prime Minister and he is evicting the Irish pig because he failed to pay rent. This would have been drawn to show the Famine.
Expectation of Women in 1800s
1.
| Urban | Rural |
|
-knitting, dress making, making clothes -cooking – make bread, cheese, butter, curing meat -decision to move would be up to the man, therefore the women is expected to listin -spend as little as possible (man makes the money) – women expected to take care of domestic responsibilities – can’t marry lower class |
– Mostly First Nations or Metis – expected to be married – First Nations family marry off daughters in exchange for gifts – First Nations will get access to supplies at Forts – Fur trader gets company – trader gets a connection to fur supplies – Women helped fur traders navigate the land – make snow shoes, repair canoes, make soap, candles – helped traders find food and cook – interpreters for fur traders |

In the 1800s woman were treated very poorly. Men’s health, opinion, and needs always came before the women’s. Woman were expected to know how to make clothes for her family and cook things like bread, cheese, butter, and curing meat. Woman are told to spend little amounts of money so the man does not have to work as much. Woman were told to do a lot of things back then with very little say in what they were doing, when men were thinking of emigrating to Canada the woman didn’t even get to state their opinion on the move all that mattered was the mans decision. Now a days women have come a long way in terms of equality. There are still stereotypes that women cook and clean but is not necessarily expected of them. Women deffinitly have the right to an opinion these days. Women are no longer told what to do. Although equality has come a long way we still have a while to go before women and men are treated equally for example the wgae gap between women and men. Looking at how much we have changed from the 1800s I have faith that our society can make the change and finally see women and men as equals.
Math 10 – week 4
I learned that a referent is an object used to reference a measurement. Here are some examples of referents –
width of your thumb= cm
from your elbow to hand = foot
width of a pencil led = mm
Life in Upper Canada
Farming:
Source: pioneer homestead, Chatham, Upper Canada 1828 P.J. Bainbrigge
In this picture I see a a small log house with crops growing in the yard. There is also a lot of cut down trees and a wooden cairage. I think the man standing beside the man with the farmer hat is a absentee landlord or a land speculator he is likely talking to the farmer who is growing his crops for him.
Social class
Source: Settlement on Long Island on the Rideau River, Upper Canada. Artist: Cockburn, James Pattison, 1779-1847. 1830
What I see in this picture is a man who looks to be in higher class considering his hat talking to a what seems to be a lower class woman and her child. I see a lot of cutt down trees and log cabins. Upper class was likely talking to the lower class asking for favours or wanting to buy their farming land.
Loyalty to Britain
Jones Falls, Rideau Canal, Upper Canada. Artist: Bainbrigge, Philip John, 1817-1881. ca. 1838
What I see in this picture is a bunch of boats, two seems to be some kind of army and considering the colour red on their shirts I would assume that it would be the Britain army. They were coming to Canada to represent their country and show dedication by making Canada similar to Britain.
Land issues :
Crown and Clergy Reserves, Newtown, Upper Canada, with one-seventh of the land held for clergy reserves, and one- seventh to produce government revenue, c. 1800. National Archives
of Canada, NMC288
What I see in this picture is a diagram displaying the farm land distribution each shade of black representing a reserved piece of land for the government and clergy. The government and clergy got first choice on every 7th lot. The clergy and government were allowed to choose which land they got so they would choose the best fertile land. The farmers were left with not very fertile land. This made farmers very unsuccessful.
Religion:
King St. E., looking e. from Toronto St., Young, Thomas, Year/Format: 1835, Picture
What I see in this picture is a church in the back and a cairage pulled by some kind of animal. Since people didn’t live close to each other church was one of the only times the people got to interact with one another. This kept the poeple close knit and connected.
