ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

First of all, I would like to express my special thanks of
gratitude to my additional mathematics teacher, Puan Cethy who
gave me the opportunity to do this project and help mea lot
throughout finishing this project. Without her guide, I may not
finish my project and do it properly.

Secondly, I would like to thanks my parents and my family
for providing everything, such as money to buy anything that are
related to this project and their advises, which is the most
needed to do this project. I am grateful for their constant
support and help.

Not forgotten to my friends who have contributed lots of
idea in finding the topic that would be interesting to do and gave
their comments on my research. I really appreciate their
kindness and help.

Last but not least, I would like to express my thankfulness
to those who are involvedeither directly or indirectly in
completing this project. Thank you for all the co-operation given






HISTORY OF POPCORN

Popcorn was first discovered thousands of years ago by
Native Americans. It is one of the oldest forms of corn: evidence
of popcorn from 3600 B.C. was found in New Mexico and even
earlier evidence dating to perhaps as early as 4700 BC was
found in Peru. Some Popcorn has been found in early 1900s to
be a purple color.

The English who came to America in the 16th and 17th
centuries learned about popcorn from the Native Americans.

During the Great Depression, popcorn was comparatively
cheap at 5 10 cents a bag and became popular. Thus, while
other businesses failed, the popcorn business thrived and
became a source of income for many struggling farmers. During
World War II, sugar rations diminished candy production,
causing Americans to eat three times as much popcorn than they
had before.

At least six localities (all in the Midwestern United
States)claim to be the "Popcorn Capital of the World": Ridgway,
Illinois; Valparaiso, Indiana; Van Buren, Indiana; Schaller, Iowa;
Marion, Ohio; and North Loup, Nebraska. According to the USDA,
most of the corn used for popcorn production is specifically
planted for this purpose; most is grown in Nebraska and Indiana,
with increasing area in Texas.

As the result of an elementary school project, popcorn
became the official state snack food of Illinois, U.S.A

SECTION A

QUESTION 1
For this activity, you will be comparing the volume of 2 cylinders
created using the same sheetof paper. You will be determining
which dimension can hold more popcorn. To do this, youwill
have to find a pattern for the dimensions for the containers.
Materials :
8.5 x 11 in. white paper, 8.5 x 11 in. colored paper,
tape, popcorn plate, cup, ruler.

1. Take the white paper and roll it up along the longest side to
form a baseless cylinder thatIs tall and narrow. Do not
overlap the sides. Tape along the edges. Measure
thedimensions with a ruler and record your data below and
on the cylinder. Label it Cylinder A.







2. Take the colored paper and roll it up along the shorter side to
form a baseless cylinderthat is short and stout. Do not
overlap the sides. Tape along the edge. Measure the
heightand diameter with a ruler and record you data below
and on the cylinder. Label it Cylinder B





ANSWER 1

DIMENSION

CYLINDER A CYLINDER B
HEIGHT

11.0 8.5
DIAMETER 2.6

3.4
RADIUS 1.3

1.7
QUESTION 2
Do you think the two cylinders will hold the same amount?
Do you think one will hold more than the other? Which one? Why?

The two cylinders will hold the different amount. Cylinder B will hold
more than Cylinder A.This is because the radius of Cylinder B is
longer and this make the volume is bigger thanCylinder A. Although
the height of Cylinder B is shorter than Cylinder A, but this does
notaffect much compare the affect of different in radius.



QUESTION 3
Place Cylinder B on the paper plate with Cylinder A inside it. Use
your cup to pour popcorn into Cylinder A until is full. Carefully, lift
Cylinder A so that the popcorn falls into Cylinder B.
Describe what happened. Is Cylinder B full, not full or over
flowing?


Cylinder B is not full. There is still space in the cylinder for more
popcorn



QUESTION 4
a) Was your prediction correct? How do you know?

b) If your prediction is incorrect, describe what actually
happened?

ANSWER 4
a) Yes, the prediction is correct. It is based on the formula,
volume of cylinder equals to

. According to the formula,

radius,r has more effect than height,hsince radius,r issquared.
Thus, the Cylinder B with greater radius,r have the greater
volume,V thanCylinder A.

b) Cylinder B has a greater volume than CylinderA.

QUESTION 5
a)State the formula for finding the volume of a cylinder
b)Calculate the volume of Cylinder A.






c)Calculate the volume of Cylinder B.






d)Explain why the cylinders do or do not hold the same amount.
Use the formula for the
formula for the volume of a cylinder to guide your explanation.
ANSWER 5
a)

b)

11
=58.4

c) V

=77.2

d) The cylinders have different radius and heights, so the volumes
are different.


Data and Observations:
The cylinder with have the greater radius and diameter will
have the greater volume

The radius of Cylinder B is greater than Cylinder A.

The volume of Cylinder B is greater than Cylinder A.

So, Cylinder B holds more popcorn than Cylinder B.

VOLUME 58.4 77.2




QUESTION 6

Which measurement impacts the volume more : the radius or the
height? Work through the example below to help you answer the
question.
Assume that you have a cylinder with a radius of 3 inches and a
height of 10 inches. Increase the radius by 1 inch and determine the
new volume. Then using the original radius, increase the height by
1 inch and determine the new volume.

CYLINDER RADIUS

HEIGHT VOLUME
ORIGINAL


INCREASED
RADIUS



INCREASED
HEIGHT


Which increased the dimension had a larger impact on the volume of
the cylinder? Why do you think this is true?

ANSWER 6

CYLINDER RADIUS HEIGHT VOLUME
ORIGINAL 3 10 282.7
INCREASED
RADIUS
4 10 502.7
INCREASED
HEIGHT
3 11 311

Increasing the radius increased the volume more than increasing
the height. This is because the radius is squared to find the volume,
which increases its impact on the volume.

SECTION B


QUESTION
If you were buying popcorn at the movie theater and wanted the
most popcorn, what type of container would you look for?

Clue : You need more than one type of containers.

You are given 300 cm of thin sheet material. Explain the details.




CONCLUSION

CONTAINER HEIGHT RADIUS LENGTH WIDTH VOLUME
CYLINDER 5.64 5.64 - - 563.69
CUBE 7.75 - 7.75 7.75 465.48
CUBOID 7.07 - 7.07 14.14 706.79
CONE 10.51 7.42 - - 605.95

Shape of containers that give the most popcorn reflect the
maximum volume from the height. From the activity earliar, I
found that increasing the radius is squared to find the volume,
which increase its impact on the volume. From the calculation, it
has been found that the cuboid can be filled with the most amount
of popcorn. It followed by coneand hexagon. These means that
cube is the container that can be filled with the least amount of
popcorn. Randomly, surveying at the movie theater, no cube or
cuboid shapes can be found. Therefore, in this case, the cuboid was
most preferable container that can have the most popcorns.

I. You are the popcorn seller, what type of container would
you look for?
If I was the popcorn seller. I will look for cube shape
container. It is because the least popcorns will be in.so, I
will get the most profit for my sale. Furthermore, it is cute
and simple shape

II. You are the producer of the containers, what type of
container would you choose to have the most profit?
If I was the producer of the popcorns containers. I will look
for cylinder shape container. It is because this shape is it
easiest production and it takes the least effort and also no
time consuming the produce

REFLECTION
In the making of this project, I have spent countless hours doing this
project. I realized that this
subject is a compulsory to me. Without it, I cant fulfill my big dreams
and wishes.


I used to
hate Additional Mathematics

It always make me wonder why this subject is so difficult

It always an absolute obstacle for me

Throughout day and night

I sacrificed my precious time to have fun

From
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,,, And
even the weekend that I always looking forward to

From now on, I will do my best on every second that I will learn
Additional Mathematics full of effort!
