MATH144 Walden University Explaining Geometry Discussion
- Think of a situation in which you might need to use geometry skills. For example:
- How many sheets of drywall you would need to cover a specific room?
- How many cans of paint you would need to paint a room with two coats of paint?
- How much fabric you would need to buy to reupholster a specific piece of furniture?
- For this Discussion, you will write the detailed steps for your own two-part word problem based on geometric concepts. You will need to explain the geometric situation/problem that needs to be solved, provide the numbers related to the geometric situation, and provide a full solution and explanation for the problem. You will need to:
- Describe what shapes you need to measure. Describe each measurement that needs to be determined and what those measurements are.
- Make your calculations and provide the solution.
- Think carefully about the final answer you provide. What errors are common to these types of problems?
Post a 2- to 3-paragraph response that:
- Outlines the specific steps that are needed to perform a task based on a geometric problem and provides the solution
- Describes each measurement that needs to be determined and what those measurements are
