Blue Print Project
graph paper attached, and rubric attached as well. Instructions:
- Create a blueprint of an ideal room in your house using a coordinate plane
- Classify three of the shapes in your blueprint and justify your classification using theorems about quadrilaterals and triangles
- Use coordinates to calculate the perimeter and area of the room in your blueprint
- Write a paragraph describing a real-world application in which the coordinate grid system is used. Include a simple example specific to your application, and a diagram, if appropriate. You may use an idea from one of the videos, or you may search the Internet. Either way, remember to cite your source.
You will turn in the following:
- a blueprint of a room drawn in a coordinate plane, using an appropriate scale
- a page of calculations showing how you found the perimeter and area of the remodeled room
- a paragraph discussing a real-world application of the coordinate plane
- a reflection about the strengths and weaknesses of your blueprint and how the weaknesses could be addressed
- classifications of three polygons that were used to represent appliances or furniture in your blueprint
