Volume Post

Red for Headings/keynotes
Blue for first part of the question and answer
Green for second part of the question and answer
Question 15:
a) If the edge length of a cube is doubled, find the ratio of the old surface area to the new surface area.
b) What happens if the edge length of a cube is tripled? Is there a pattern?

Answers:
a) 1:4. Instead of thinking of it as a cube, I thought of it as a square. Let's say a side of a cube's side lengths were 6m and had an area of 36cm2. You multiply the side lengths by 2, which becomes 12, and find the new area which is 144. 144/36=4. So, the ratio is 1:4.










b) If the side length is tripled, the new ratio becomes 1:9. There is a pattern if you continue doing this. All of the lengths are prime numbers while the other numbers stay the same. For example, 1:4, 1:9, 1:16, 1:25. ( x 4=64)


Question 16:

Shelby wants to paint the walls and ceiling of a rectangular room. 1 liter of paint covers 9.5 m2.


a) What is the least amount of paint Shelby can buy to paint the room (subtract 5 m2
for the door and windows)?
b) How much will the paint cost, including the amount of tax charged in your region?

The height is 2.6m2, the length is 4.8m2, the width is 6.8m2. 1 liter of paint covers 9.5 m2.

Answers:
a) L x W
2.6 x 4.8
2.6 x 4.8
2.6 x 6.8
2.6 x 6.8
6.8 x 4.8
6.8 x 4.8=
125.6 125.6-5= 120.6
120.6-65.28 (the ceiling paint has to be separated from the wall paint)= 55.32
55.32/9.5=5.8

Wall paint: 1 can 4L, 2 cans 1L.
Ceiling paint: 1 can 4L.

b) The cost will be 82.75 with 12% GST and PST.
Wall paint: 4L= $24.95
1L=$7.99
Ceiling paint: 4L=$32.95

24.95+7.99+7.99+32.95=73.88
12%= 8.87.
73.88+8.87= 87.75

Cylinder Volume and Volume Problems

7.3

Jumbo:

r=d÷2 V=pi.r.r.h
r=20÷2 V=(3.14x10x10)x40
r=10cm V=12,560cm³

Popcorn Lover's:

r=d÷2 V=pi.r.r.h
r=30÷2 V=(3.14x15x15)x20
r=15cm V=14,130cm³

Martha should buy the popcorn lover's one because it has more volume than the jumbo one.Popcorn Lover's volume is 14,130cm³ while Jumbo's 12,560cm³




7.4

Inside Circle:

r=d÷2 V=pi.r.r.h
r=8÷2 V=(3.14x4x4)x40
r=4cm V=2009.6cm³


Outside Circle:

r=d÷2 V=pi.r.r.h
r=10÷2 V=(3.14x5x5)x40
r=5cm V=3140cm³
3140cm³-2009.6cm³=1130.4cm³

I cant make a video yet, my camera is broken and being repaired, I will have to use some body else's tomorrow.

  1. GOOD JOB CAMERON! I liked how you added variety of colours and added a picture. Also, you added the Flisti survey. However, you could've added a video or a link for people to understand how the Total Surface Area works. But overall, you did a great job. Keep it up!:)

  4. GOOD JOB CAMERON! I liked the way you included a picture and explanation of your work. Also, you added Flisti but next time, try to make it more connected to math. Also, try to use colors just for important details. It sort of distracts me.
    Anyways, keep up the good work!
