Final Assessment: Modeling a Landmark

Directions

Choose a landmark (e.g., baseball field, skatepark, school) that you are familiar with. Make sure
your model can be broken down into simple geometric shapes (i.e., triangles, spheres, cubes,
etc.). Your model should include at least five different simple shapes. You will recreate the
landmark in using Geogebra’s 3D calculator. When resizing your model, use online sources to
determine the ratio you will have to size down every object (round to the nearest foot). After
completing your model, determine the area, volume, and perimeter of the actual landmark, not
your model. Use the table below to determine the cost of materials. If a specific material is not
listed that your landmark uses, please see me. Show all work using Microsoft Word symbols (not
handwritten) with your area, perimeter, and volume clearly labeled. Type one brief paragraph
about why you chose that landmark and the specific shapes that you used to complete your
model. Include a photo of the landmark at the title page. See rubric below to see breakdown of
points.

Cost of Materials
Wood – $1.00/ft3
Concrete - $11.00/ft3
Turf - $1.00/ft2
Tile - $16.00/ft2
Steel - $36.00/ft2
Carpet - $12.00/ft2
