The Fencing Problem - Math Coursework - The Fencing Problem - Math The task -------- A farmer has exactly 1000m of fencing; with it she wishes to fence off a level area of land. She is not concerned about the shape of the plot but it must have perimeter of 1000m. What she does wish to do is to fence off the plot of land which contains the maximun area. Investigate the shape/s of the plot of land that have the maximum area. Solution -------- Firstly I will look at 3 common shapes. These will be: ------------------------------------------------------ [IMAGE] A regular triangle for this task will have the following area: 1/2 b x h 1000m / 3 - 333.33 333.33 / 2 = 166.66 333.33² - 166.66² = 83331.11 Square root of 83331.11 = 288.67 288.67 x 166.66 = 48112.52² [IMAGE]A regular square for this task will have the following area: Each side = 250m 250m x 250m = 62500m² [IMAGE] A regular circle with a circumference of 1000m would give an area of: Pi x 2 x r = circumference Pi x 2 = circumference / r Circumference / (Pi x 2) = r Area = Pi x r² Area = Pi x (Circumference / (Pi x 2)) ² Pi x (1000m / (pi x 2)) ² = 79577.45m² I predict that for regular shapes the more sides the shape has the higher the area is....   [tags: Math Coursework Mathematics]	1134 words (3.2 pages)	FREE Essays	[view]

Egyptian Math - Egyptian Math      The use of organized mathematics in Egypt has been dated back to the third millennium BC. Egyptian mathematics was dominated by arithmetic, with an emphasis on measurement and calculation in geometry. With their vast knowledge of geometry, they were able to correctly calculate the areas of triangles, rectangles, and trapezoids and the volumes of figures such as bricks, cylinders, and pyramids. They were also able to build the Great Pyramid with extreme accuracy.      Early surveyors found that the maximum error in fixing the length of the sides was only 0.63 of an inch, or less than 1/14000 of the total length....   [tags: History Mathematics Research Papers] :: 5 Works Cited	1038 words (3 pages)	Better Essays	[preview]

Math’s Coursework - Math’s Coursework Statistics Planning Investigation I have been given a survey of the Boy’s of the Oratory School. The survey consists of the boy’s pulse, height and weight. I have made two hypotheses: 1. The lower the pulse, the taller you are. 2. The taller you are, the higher your weight is. My reasons behind hypotheses 1 is because the lower your pulse normally means you are fit and sporty, most sporty people are reasonably tall. My reason behind hypotheses number 2 is because you are bigger and therefore should have a reasonable amount of weight compared to someone who isn’t that tall....   [tags: Papers]	804 words (2.3 pages)	Unrated Essays	[preview]

Math History - Mathematics starts with counting. It is not reasonable, however, to suggest that early counting was mathematics. Only when some record of the counting was kept and, therefore, some representation of numbers occurred can mathematics be said to have started. In Babylonia mathematics developed from 2000 BC. Earlier a place value notation number system had evolved over a lengthy period with a number base of 60. It allowed arbitrarily large numbers and fractions to be represented and so proved to be the foundation of more high powered mathematical development....   [tags: essays research papers]	2043 words (5.8 pages)	Better Essays	[preview]
