(6) Mathematical modeling in science and engineering. The student applies mathematical processes with algebra and geometry to study patterns and analyze data as it applies to architecture and engineering. The student is expected to:

• (A) use similarity, geometric transformations, symmetry, and perspective drawings to describe mathematical patterns and structure in architecture;

• (B) use scale factors with two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects to demonstrate proportional and non-proportional changes in surface area and volume as applied to fields;

• (C) use the Pythagorean Theorem and special right-triangle relationships to calculate distances; and

• (D) use trigonometric ratios to calculate distances and angle measures as applied to fields.
