Geometry In Design - McGraw-Hill Ryerson

Chapter Problem Wrap-Up
Paul has learned a lot about geometry and
architecture during his coop placement. Choose
a design project of your own, similar to the projects
you have worked on throughout this chapter. It
could be a building or structure, a package, or an
item of clothing.
a) Write a plan for your project. Include at least four
geometric elements in the design. Describe the
constraints on your project and how you can meet them.
b) Draw an isometric perspective drawing or a set of orthographic drawings
for your project.
c) Calculate the project’s dimensions. Draw a pattern or a net. Build a scale
model of your project.
d) Write a summary of your project. Include your drawings and model. Show all
your calculations and measurements.
7. An isometric perspective drawing for
a new building is shown. The distance
between pairs of dots represents 5 m.
Draw orthographic drawings for the
building.
8. A gift box for a travel mug will have a
square base with side length 4 in. and a
square lid with side length 6 in. The box
must be 5 in. high. Select a scale, and
sketch nets that can be used to make a
model of the box and the lid. Show all
measurements on the net.
9. A new tomato juice can is being designed
such that the ratio of the height to the
diameter is equal to the golden ratio. The
diameter will be 12 cm.
a) Select a scale, and draw a net that
could be used to make a scale model
of the can.
b) Determine the volume of tomato juice
that the can will hold.
