Score : _____ / 20

Deadline : 11 May 2018

Directions:

 Your group is assigned to create a model of functional buildings that invole solids, especially
Pyramid, Cones and Sphere.
 Your model MUST at least contain:
1. One Rectangular Prism with dimensions 20 cm × 10 cm × 15 cm.
2. Two Cones with base radius of 3 cm and any heights.
3. A Square Pyramid with base length of 16 cm and height of 6 cm.

You may add more solids to modify the structure of your model such as hemispheres and
cylinders.

 You may construct the model from cardboards or recycled stuff.

 Organise the solids in such proper arrangement so that in the end the model will look
nice.
 Put information on the model for each solid such as:
1. The function of the model in real life (use your imagination).
2. The dimensions of each solid added.
3. The volume and total surface area of each solid.
 Submit your project result by Friday, May 11th, 2018. Late submission will give you a
penalty (10% score deduction).
