TECHNOLOGY GOALS

Research Goals Students will use the card catalog to locate books on architecture Students will use various reference materials to find architectural pictures Students will explore specified Internet sites to locate pictures containing geometric shapes in architecture

As you begin to explore our world and its architecture you will embark on a journey that will excite and motivate you! You will see many different styles of buildings as you navigate and explore.

Within the facades of most buildings you will see geometric shapes that might form roof lines, windows, doorways, and other architectural features.

What Shapes Do You See?

Triangle Formulas Perimeter: distance around an object, add up all the sides P = a+b+c Area: surface covered  inside of an object A= ½bh

Slide 19

Slide 20

Rectangle Formulas Perimeter: distance around an object P = 2l + 2w Area: surface covered inside of the figure A = lw

Slide 22

Square Formulas Perimeter: distance around an object, add up all the sides P = s+s+s+s= 4s Area: surface covered inside of the figure A= s ´ s = s2

Slide 24

Trapezoid Formula Perimeter: add up all the sides Area = ½(b1 + b2)h

Slide 26

Parallelogram Formulas Perimeter: distance around the object Area : surface covered inside the figure A = bh

Slide 28

Circle Formulas Circumference: distance around the circle C = 2pr  or C = pd Area: inside surface A = pr2

Semicircles To find the area of a semicircle, just divide the area of the circle by 2 (same as multiplying by ½)
