. GCSE Maths Coursework - Shapes Investigation Summary I am doing an investigation to look at shapes made up of other shapes (starting with triangles, then going on squares and hexagons. I will try to find the correlations between the perimeter (in cm), dots enclosed and the amount of shapes (i.e. triangles etc.) used to make a shape. From this, I will attempt to discover a method connecting P (perimeter), D (dots enclosed) and T (number of triangles used to make a shape). shortly on in this investigation T will be substituted for Q (squares) and H (hexagons) used to make a shape. Other letters used in my formulas and equations are X (T, Q or H), and Y (the number of sides a shape has). I have decided not to use S for squares, as it is possible it could be mistaken for 5, when put into a formula. After this, I will try to find a formula that links the number of shapes, P and D that will work with any tessellating shape - my 'universal' formula. I anticipate that for this to work I will have to include that number of sides of the shapes I use in my formula. Method I will first draw out all likely shapes using, for example, 16 triangles, avoiding drawing those shapes with the same properties of T, P and D, as this is pointless (i.e. those arranged in the same way but say, on their side. I will attach these drawings to the front of each section. From this, I will make a list

The aim of my investigation is based on the number of hidden faces and faces in view of cubes that are placed on a table.

Hidden Faces Coursework Investigation By Mark Costa Introduction The aim of my investigation is based on the number of hidden faces and faces in view of cubes that are placed on a table. From examining the results of my investigation I will hopefully create a formula for each set of cubes that I exam. The procedure of examining these cubes will be done through drawing 3D pictures of the cubes in their patterns on triangular spotty paper, which I will draw myself. Each set of cubes will contain different patterns that will allow me to exam the cubes in varying scenarios and compare different results and formulas that I will create. Through comparing these scenarios I will then amount to a conclusion that will evaluate what I have covered in my investigation. Background Information I already have obtained some background information from examining the task sheet that is set with the investigation at hand. Each individual cube contains six faces; some may be in view while others will be hidden depending on how the cube is placed. When a cube is placed on a table only five out of six faces are in view, therefore one face is hidden. This simple information could be used to conduct a simple formula: 6(all faces)-(number of viewable faces)=(hidden faces) e.g. 6-5=1 therefore the number of hidden faces would be 1. When five cubes are lined up together in a row, there is a total

Investigating Structures - In this investigation I will be looking at different joints used in building different sized cube shaped structures.

Investigating Structures In this investigation I will be looking at different joints used in building different sized cube shaped structures. I have found that there are four different types of joint: 3-joint 4-joint 5-joint 6-joint The aim of my investigation is to be able to use the length of the cube's edge (n) to find out the number of each different joint in that cube. I have taken n to be the number of rods on a cube's edge. I will start my investigation by drawing simple cube structures on isometric paper. I will draw four structures. A 1 x 1 x 1 cube, a 2 x 2 x 2 cube, a 3 x 3 x 3 cube and a 4 x 4 x 4 cube. These are shown on the isometric paper included. After looking at each I will count the number of each type of joint in each cube, and put my results in a table to make it easier to analyse them. Here is the table: Length of n 3-Joint (c) 4-Joint (e) 5-Joint (y) 6-Joint (X) Total Joints (t) 8 0 0 0 8 2 8 2 6 27 3 8 24 24 8 64 4 8 36 54 27 25 I now have my results, and shall set about finding out their formulae. Firstly I will do the 3-Joint's formula. After looking at the table, I notice that the pattern is that there always 8 3-Joints in a cube. So the formula must be: c = 8 This formula is as above because 3-Joints only occur on the corners of a cube. As there are only eight corners on any sized cube, the answer must be

+4=1*1+2*2 I will construct 2D cross shape but explain them in relation to 3D cross shapes. The Third 3D Cross shape has 13 cubes in its middle layer which is based on its corresponding 2D cross shape. Therefore: 13=4+9 =2*2+3*3 The fourth 3D cross shape has 25 cubes in its middle layer which is based on its corresponding 2D cross shape. 25=16+9 =4*4+3*3 The fifth 3D cross shape has 25 cubes in its middle layer which is based on its corresponding 2D cross shape. 41=16+25 =4*4+5*5 The sixth 3D cross shape has 61 cubes in its middle layer which is based on its corresponding 2D cross shape. 61=25+36 =5*5+6*6 By tabulating all the above result I can derive the general result.

I will be investigating different patterns that can be found in cubes that are constructed from smaller 1cm cubes and are painted on the outside.

CUBES I will be investigating different patterns that can be found in cubes that are constructed from smaller 1cm³ cubes and are painted on the outside, when these smaller cubes are taken apart some are only partly painted others none at all. Here is a table showing the number of faces painted. Cube Number Cube length No. Of small cubes No. Of small cubes with 3 painted faces No. Of small cubes with 2 painted faces No. Of small cubes with 1 painted faces No. Of small cubes with 0 painted faces 2 2*2*2 8 8 0 0 0 3 3*3*3 27 8 2 6 4 4*4*4 64 8 24 24 8 Straight away I noticed that the number of cubes with three sides painted is always 8 as seen in the table below and this is true for all cubes except one (see exceptions).

look at shapes made up of other shapes

Math's Coursework shapes Summary I am doing an investigation to look at shapes made up of other shapes (starting with triangles, then going on squares and hexagons. I will try to find the relationship between the perimeter (in cm), dots enclosed and the amount of shapes (i.e. triangles etc.) used to make a shape. From this, I will try to find a formula linking P (perimeter), D (dots enclosed) and T (number of triangles used to make a shape). Later on in this investigation T will be substituted for Q (squares) and H (hexagons) used to make a shape. Other letters used in my formulas and equations are X (T, Q or H), and Y (the number of sides a shape has). I have decided not to use S for squares, as it is possible it could be mistaken for 5, when put into a formula. After this, I will try to find a formula that links the number of shapes, P and D that will work with any tessellating shape - my 'universal' formula. I anticipate that for this to work I will have to include that number of sides of the shapes I use in my formula. Method I will first draw out all possible shapes using, for example, 16 triangles, avoiding drawing those shapes with the same properties of T, P and D, as this is pointless (i.e. those arranged in the same way but say, on their side. I will attach these drawings to the front of each section. From this, I will make a list of all possible combinations of

Investigate the number of hidden faces when cubes are joined in different ways.

Hidden Faces Investigation Investigate the number of hidden faces when cubes are joined in different ways I am going to investigate the number of hidden faces when cubes are joined in different ways. The aim of this task is to find a formula which is common with every cube and hidden face. For this investigation I will need to find the formula, which can determine the outcome for the number of hidden faces on 'n' cubes. I will start this investigation by drawing cubes that join together in rows also those that are joined to form a cuboid. I will draw up a table to show my results, from which I will hopefully be able to find a pattern that will allow me to express a formula that can be used to find the number of hidden faces when cubes are joined in any form i.e. rows and cuboids. Task 1 When placing a single cube on a flat surface only 1 face is hidden out of 6. Fundamentally only 5 faces are visible. Cubes are a three-dimensional shape with six equally-sized square surfaces; if you multiply the number of cubes by 6 (as there are six faces on a cube) the outcome you will get is the total number of faces. Example: How many faces are there in total when 3 cubes are joined together? By using the above theory: 'multiply the number of cubes by 6', thus 3 x 6 = 18 There are 2 ways to find the total number of faces on cube(s), one being the above example and the second
