Select two differently shaped items from your pantry in the shapes of a cube, rectangular solid, or circular cylinder. (I will attach photos to be used as well as textbook pages)
2. Insert pictures of the items on your project as in the examples given below. The picture must include the ruler for measurement and one picture must show the weight of the item in grams from the package. (3 points)
a.
Note: If you are unsure how to use a ruler, google how to measure with a ruler in inches.
3. Measure the item, in inches and list the rounded values for each item separately. Proper units must be included.
(5 points)
a. Note: When measuring use quarter, half, and three-quarter inches only. For example, 3.25 in, 3.5 in, 3.75 in, or 4 in. Round to the appropriate amount: .25, .5, .75 based on your values. It will not be all whole numbers. You must show your ruler measurements in your pictures.
4. Calculate the surface area (section 10.5 page 677 in eText) for your figures in inches. (15 points)
a.
Identify the formula required and list it on your project. b.
Show all work for each step and proper unit labels are required.
5. Convert your measurements from step 3: Inches to centimeters. (section 9.1 page 601 eText). (5 points)
a. Identify the conversion needed and list it on your project from the page and section listed.
b. Show all work for each step and proper unit labels are required.
6. Calculate the volume of your figures in centimeters from step 5. (section 10.5 in eText) (15 points)
a. Identify the formula needed and list it on your project from the page and section listed.
b. Show all work for each step and proper unit labels are required.
7. Use the conversion on page 618 Table 9.10 in the eText to convert your answer from part 6 to weight in grams.
(2 points)
8. Compare your result from number 7 above to the weight given on the item you chose (in the picture). They may or may not be close in value (there may be a big discrepancy between your calculations and the item. Provide a minimum of seven sentences in response, they should reflect on the project, specifically why there is a difference (if there was) between your calculations in step 7 and the given weight in grams of the item. Your response should be specific to your project and your results, points will be taken off for generic responses or responses that are not reflective of your project specifically. You will want to pay close attention to the conversions you are being asked to use for consistency in this project, this may be helpful in this reflection. (3 points)
Your work does not need to be typed, however must be organized, and written clearly to be reviewed easily.
Work should be dark enough to see, organized, clear, and specific. The project needs to be submitted as one document. Multiple pages will need to be scanned into one document. (2 points)
