In this program we look at applications of coordinate geometry. We do this in the context of three real-world applications. In the first, we look at longitude and latitude as a spherical coordinate system for navigation.

Greenwich, England, is the location of the Prime Meridian and offers a point of departure for a discussion of the longitude and latitude coordinate system.

Centuries ago a Spanish galleon, The Atocha, sank off the coast of Florida, taking its gold treasure down with it. Aside from the technology used to recover the treasure, it was a rectangular coordinate system that made such an endeavor possible.

The Guggenheim Museum in New York City has a spiral shape that is an example of a polar coordinate graph. This shape, found often in nature, is a way to understand the Fibonacci Sequence.

In this TI Nspire tutorial, the Graph window is used to graph two functions and finding the point of intersection. This video supports the TI-Nspire Clickpad and Touchpad. This Mini-Tutorial Video includes a worksheet. .

In this TI Nspire tutorial, the coordinate Trace feature is described and used. This video supports the TI-Nspire Clickpad and Touchpad. This Mini-Tutorial Video includes a worksheet.
