TRIANGLES & PYRAMIDS Your task is to design and build a scale model of a pyramid. Each person will be assigned values for an angle and the base length that they will use to construct their pyramid. According to the accompanying rubric you are to: 1. Calculate the actual values for all sides and angles in the table. List all pairs of similar triangles. Show all calculations, with intermediate steps, on a separate sheet of paper. Remember to fill in the answers on the table. 2. Decide upon an appropriate ratio (scale) to make scale diagrams of each of the views given. Convert the actual values to the diagram sizes. (Show all calculations.) Draw scale diagrams of each of the 3 views on a separate sheet of paper. A 3. Construct a 3 dimensional scale model of the pyramid.
