IV. House volume (10 marks labeled diagram, 10 marks calculations)

/30

Calculate the total volume of your structure. All 3D shapes included in your house must be
sketched and labeled with measurements. Show all your calculations below.
Example:

Volume = l x w x h
= 15cm x 15cm x 15 cm
= 3375cm3

REMEMBER: The volume of a triangular prism is HALF that of a rectangular prism.

VI. Square roots and pythagoreans theorem: (6 marks each)

/30

Note: Somewhere in your project you must have at least 5 squares or rectangular faces.
These faces may be part of the structure or part of your decorations. (Example: you may
have square windows, square decorations).
For five square or rectangular faces on your structure:
a. Diagram each
b. Label the surface area of each face
c. Label the side lengths

d. Use Pythagoras Theorem to calculate the diagonal of each square
Example:

Surface Area:
SA = l x w
= 15cm x 25cm
= 375cm2

Length of Diagonal:
A2 + b2 = c2
152 + 252 = c2
225cm2 + 625cm2 = 850cm2
C=

c= 29.15cm (round to 2 decimal places)
