Geometry Dream House Objective: I will be able to incorporate my Geometry knowledge up to this point and display it in creating their own scaled dream room

Future Job Architect, Interior Designer, Construction

Needed ! ! ! MUST CONTAIN AT LEAST: 2 Parallel Lines Acute, Obtuse, Right, and Straight <s (1 of each min) 2 regular polygons (number of sides up to you) –Calculate the sum of the interior <s, each interior <, and each exterior < 2 Triangles (equilateral, isosceles, scalene, 0r right) 2 Quadrilaterals 1 circle Calculate the area of all triangles, quadrilaterals, and circles!!!!

You Must -Calculate the area of all triangles, circles, and quadrilaterals -Number all of the “needed” shapes and any other geometric concept you want credit for -Have a number key on a separate piece of paper labeling all of the corresponding shapes/numbers and providing any calculations

Label Everything Each Project must have everything labeled correctly. Example 1 Right Triangle: has one 90° < area = ½ bh So a = ½ 4ft x 2ft = 4 sq ft 4 ft 2 ft 1
