1  Volume is a very important quantity  It determines how much “stuff” can go into a container  Consumers would want maximum volume  Companies would want minimum volume PAPER ROLLING EXPERIMENT

2  Architecture from all over the world Al Bahr Towers by Aedas (Abu Dhabi)

3 Benson Radiology by Tridente Architects (Australia)

4 Diamond House by Alan Tay (Singapore)

5 Emporia shopping center by Wingårdh Arkitektkontor (Sweden)

6  When designing a building, an architect must measure carefully so the structure is not only pleasing to the eye, but functions properly  It’s not even just buildings, its roads.  E.g. “The Crookedest Street in the World” in San Francisco

7

8 Underneath the street is dirt and rock, which creates a foundation for the road. Determine the volume of the crookedest street assuming a base that is parallel to level ground. 10 m 60 m 70 m 1.We would model the street at a triangular based prism 2.Just like a triangle is half the area of a rectangle, a triangular based prism is half the volume of a rectangular prism

9  Not an ordinary cylindrical building  What if you had to determine it’s volume?  If you had to guess, where do you think this is located?  South Africa

10

11  Model the building as a cylinder  Radius = 30m; Height = 173m

12  World’s Steepest Staircase  Assume the stairs below reflect the staircase 10 cm 20 cm 30 cm DEPTH = 1m

13 10 cm 20 cm 30 cm DEPTH = 1m In order to find the volume of these three stairs, look at each step as a rectangular prism.

14 10 cm 20 cm 30 cm DEPTH = 1m 30 cm 20 cm 100 cm 20 cm 100 cm 20 cm 10 cm

15 Total Volume = 60,000 + 40,000 + 20,000 = 120,000 cm 3 Or 1,200m 3
