ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
ADDITIONAL MATHEMATICS PROJECT WORK 1/2012 2
First and foremost, I would like to thank God that finally, I have succeeded in
finishing this project work. I would like to thank my beloved Additional
Mathematics teacher, Pn. Nurul Idzwaty Bt. Mohd Nazir for all the guidance
she had provided me during the process in finishing this project work. I also
appreciate her patience in guiding me completing this project work. I would
like to give a thousand thanks to my father and mother, Razak bin Mohd
Mazlan and Zalina binti Abdul Rahman, for giving me their full support in this
project work, financially and mentally. They gave me moral support when I
needed it. Who am I without their love and support? I would also like to give

INTRODUCTION
A polygon is a flat shape consisting of straight lines that are joined to form a
closed chain or circuit.
Polygons have been known since ancient times. The regular polygons
were known to the ancient Greeks, and the pentagram, a non-convex
regular polygon (star polygon), appears on the vase of Aristophonus,
Caere, dated to the 7th century B.C. Non-convex polygons in general
were not systematically studied until the 14th century by Thomas
Bredwardine. In 1952, Shephard generalized the idea of polygons to the
complex plane, where each real dimension is accompanied by an
imaginary one, to create complex polygons.
PART 1
Polygons are evident in all architecture. They provide variation and charm in
buildings. When applied to manufactured articles such as printed fabrics,

wallpapers, and tile flooring, polygons enhance the beauty of the structure
itself.

PART 3
If the length of the fence remains the same 300m, as stated in part2 :
(a) Explore and sugest at least 5 various other shapes of the garden that
can be constructed so that the enclosed area is maximum.
(b) Draw a conclusion from your exploration in (a) if :
(i)
The demand of herbs in the market has been increasing
nowadays. Suggest three types of local herbs with their scientific
names that the farmer can plant in the herb garden to meet the
demand. Collect pictures and information of these herbs.
(ii)
These herbs will be processed for marketing by a company. The
design of the packaging plays an important role in attracting customers.
The company wishes to design an innovative and creative logo for the
packaging. You are given the task of designing a logo to promote the
product. Draw the logo on a piece of A4 paper. You must include at
least one polygon shape in the logo.

The brewing of Java tea is similar to that for other teas. It is soaked in
hot boiling water for about three minutes, and honey or milk is then
added. It can be easily prepared as garden tea from the dried leaves.
