Annabella Milbanke
Born on May 17, 1792 at Elmore Hall, Pittington, Durham. She was born by the name of Anne Isabella Byron. She attended college at Cambridge University to a professor William Frend. Where she excelled in most of her classes. When Lord Byron proposed to her a second time in September of 1814 she accepted. They were wed on January 2, 1815. She was given the nickname "Princess of Parallelograms" by him. In that summer Lord Byron went "crazy". In November of 1815 when Lady Byron (Annabella) was pregnant she called her sister-in-law to help with the situation. Who was later thought to have been temporarily insane due to Byrons rath. When things settled down they moved and he told Lady Byron to stay with her parents until he got things steady financially. This was the last time that she saw him. On May 16, 1860 one day before her 68th birthday, Lady Byron died of breast cancer. She still carries the nickname "Princess of Parallelograms."
Tennessee Area
The area formula is the same for all parallelograms in that they are all 2 dementional figures that have a set of rules that makes sure the length times the width will give you the area of the figure. I found that the dementions of TN was 430 miles East to West and 110 miles North to south. I multiplies these two numbers together to get a rough area of 47,300 sq miles. The actual area is 42,144 sq miles. Which is only a difference of 5,156 sq miles which is pretty close due to this state not being an exact parallellogram.

Chapter 10 Geometry
So far in Chapter 10 we have learned about circles in that we know the parts of a circle and we can find the area and circumference. Also in this chapter we have learned about a central angle, arc ( major & minor), inscriced angle, tangent, and a secant. All of these things can help architects and engineers find out there missing angle that they need to design the next building or massive column. that is how circles are used in the real world. A question would be how can circles be so important?
