👉 A horizontal component of a structure
Alright class, settle down now, let’s take a look!
We’ve got a word today that’s quite neat,
“Horizontal,” a concept we’ll meet.
The dictionary tells us, with a helpful plea,
"A horizontal component of a structure – you see!"
Now, what does
that
really mean, let's break it down with glee?
Think about a level surface, nice and wide,
Like a table or floor, where things can abide.
Horizontal means “lying flat,” you understand?
It’s moving sideways across the land!
Imagine a line drawn straight and true,
Level to the ground – that's horizontal too!
In buildings and bridges, it’s quite the key,
Supporting structures, for all to see.
A beam laid low, or a wall so plain,
These are examples of this horizontal gain.
So remember this rhyme, let your knowledge grow,
“Horizontal” means flat – you surely know!
Does that make sense? Do you have any questions for me?
