Model Making

MATHEMATICS (MATH0103) Exercise - Surface Area and Volume
Figure 1 shows an object formed by two cylinders and a pyramidal frustum void at the center of the cylinders. Working in a group, complete all tasks as stated below.

1. Draw all surface area 
2. Calculate total surface area and volume of the object. Calculation should be done on foolscap paper (not A3 papers on which you draw the surface area) and must be clear and tidy. (Scan and save the calculation in PDF or image format).
3. Construct the above object from the surface area you draw in part 1. (The workmanship of the model is important!!!) 

When we are assigned to this project, we quickly manage the time to meet up with the members and manage to get things done on time. Everyone started to work on the calculations first because most of us just calculate out the surface area and volume of the model based on the lecture given and also some basic understandings of it. We encountered a few errors but was resolved then its time for our model making. This part is quite exciting because we measured the cardboard according to the calculations done, then later the model is out. 



Able to understand the theories of how surface area and volume works to construct a real model.



Able to manage time to hold meetings with members and work on the assignment.



Able to figure out the theories by ourself by referring to the slides taught.




Able to communicate with the group members well.




Time management is really important because when this assignment was assigned to us, a few projects are still going on, therefore we need to schedule the time with our member to make this happen. I also understand that maths really need a lot of practice in order to be familiar with it without referring to any of the reference.
