QUESTION 3(b)
INVESTIGATION IN MATHEMATICS
Year : 5
Learning outcome : calculating the area of composite-two dimensional shape
(triangle)
Question 1:
1 cm
1 cm

DIAGRAM 1
Calculate the area of triangle in Diagram 1
1. Understand the problem
Area of a small box is 1 cm
There are 8 boxes for the base
There are 6 boxes for the height

2. Device the plan

Using the formula of the area of triangle

3. Carry out the plan

Height, h = 1cm x 1cm x 8
= 8 cm
Base, b = 1cm x 1cm x 6
= 6 cm
Area of triangle = x height, h x base,b
= x 8 cm x 6 cm
= 24 cm

4. Check the answer

Area of triangle = x height, h x base,b
24 cm

= x 8 cm x base, b?

24 cm

= 4 cm

Base, b = 24 cm / 4 cm
= 6 cm
OR

24 cm

= x height, h? x 6 cm

24 cm

= 3 cm

Height, h = 24 cm / 3 cm
= 8 cm

water in the container in cm.
1. Understand the problem
The area of the base of the container = 720 cm
The height of the container = 24 cm
is filled by water
Find the volume of the water in cm

2. Device the plan

Use the diagram
Use the formula of volume of the cuboid

3. Carry out the plan

720 cm
24 cm
720 cm

water
The height,h of filled water = x 24 cm
= 6 cm
Volume of cuboid

= Area of base, cm x height, cm

= 720 cm x 6 cm
= 4 320 cm

4. Check the answer

The height,h of filled water = 4 320 cm / 720 cm

= 6 cm

Question 1 :
In a football tournament, the rules in order for a team to be a winner is by getting the
highest points. 5 points will be given to the team that is win for the match. The team
that is lose will get 1 point and for the tie match, 2 points will be given. Imrans team
has won 3 matches, lose for one time and 1 tie match. Adams team win 2 match,
lose 2 times and 1 tie match. What is the difference between both of the teams
points?
