1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data This is something related to my physics, but it said "prespective geometry", And I don't know what is vanishing point:
How am I supposed to graph this?? Just these two parts:1) Now we will use perspective geometry to find the length of the room. First, on the image on the next page verify the location of the vanishing point (VP) as shown in the image to the right. The horizontal line is the horizon. The lens of the camera (or the eye of the artist) is at this level. Second, with the pattern of tiles on the floor find one of the distance points (D). The distance point is where the diagonal lines of the floor tile pattern intersect the horizon. (Note: there is only room on the page to plot one, if you want to plot the other, attach another piece of paper, although it is not necessary for what is to follow). On the next page draw the appropriate lines and locate VP and D. This image is like the one given, look at the negative image with the yellow lines, it's very similar to the one provided, except that nothing was cut off, and it was negative. There was also a long horizontal line cutting through the middle where all line intersect. I'll try to find a similar image, and when I do, I'll post it up: 2) Now consider the room with the subjects (consider at front wall), lens, and painting (image). Draw (two) triangle(s) formed by the distance point(s), vanishing point, and the position of the lens, V (viewpoint). By examining the angles formed by the tiles, find the angles of the triangle (V-VP-D).This is the image where I have to draw it on: http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/2e866c251b.jpg2. Relevant equations None, I think3. The attempt at a solution I think I've cracked the D point (which goes out of the graph and into the blank page), and the VP (though I'm not really sure about this), what I need is the V point... and what two triangles are formed. Though I think I might know as long as someone can tell me the V POINT!!!!! Thanks! Sorry, I've been stuck on this question all day, and it's due tomorrow! Don't suggest me to ask me teacher, THAT is NOT an option (very bad stares will come back). PLEASE HELP! THANKS!Just spill out any ideas please. I'm desperate! Thank you!
