Part 1: Town Map

You will design and draw a town map that incorporates many key geometric concepts.
The project should fit on an 8 1⁄2 by 11 piece of paper. It can be drawn by hand or done on the computer or a combination of both. Feel free to use as much color as you like.

Your town map must include a title of your town and elements (labeled with numbers) that meet the following requirements. You can add any other elements to your map that you like. However, 1 – 20 must be included and clearly labeled on your map.

Part 2: Calculations of Volume and Surface Area

Compute how much sand, water, or paint is necessary for each of the elements below. Show all work.

  1. 1)  Fill two of the pools with water. Each pool will be filled to a depth of 5 feet. The other necessary dimensions are given below.

    • The isosceles triangle pool: height 20ft and base 35ft

    • The equilateral triangle pool: height 52ft and base 60ft

  2. 2)  The sandbox must be filled with sand. The sandbox has a depth of 2ft and a diameter of 14ft.

  3. 3)  The exterior walls of the regular pentagon shaped courthouse must be painted. Each wall of the courthouse is 80ft by 18ft.

Part 3: Impact Question

Provide an example, or examples, of how the concepts covered in this project could be applied in life or future career choices other than in city planning or map making.
