Instructions Welcome Math 0370 students! In order to help you better conceptualize and understand the concepts of perimeter, area, and volume; I have designed this fun, yet informative project for you. Begin by clicking on the link for “general instructions”. General Instructions Assessment Back
Task Resources Hint Parallelogram A = b*h P = 2L + 2W A = b*h P = 2L + 2W Welcome Team One! Your task will be to derive the formulas for the perimeter and area of a parallelogram. Click on the link “Task” for specific instructions. Do not click on the other links until told to do so!!! Good Luck Team! Back
Task Resources Hint Rectangular Solid V = L*W*H SA = 2LW +2HL +2WH V = L*W*H SA = 2LW +2HL +2WH Welcome Team Two! Your task will be to derive the formulas for the volume and surface area of a rectangular solid. Click on the link “Task” for specific instructions. Do not click on the other links until told to do so!!! Good Luck Team! Back
Trapezoid P = B1 + B2 + S1 + S2 A = ½ (B1 + B2)*H P = B1 + B2 + S1 + S2 A = ½ (B1 + B2)*H Welcome Team Three! Your task will be to derive the formulas for the perimeter and area of a trapezoid.
