Floor Plan: Assignment

You will be designing at least one floor in your dream home. Your design must include a minimum of:

 2 squares OR 2 rectangles

 2 triangles

 2 parallelograms

 2 circles

Step 1) Choose and circle Option A or Option B

A. You could incorporate all required shapes into the floor of one room.

OR

B. You can separate the shapes into different rooms. For example you could design two

rooms, each room containing two shapes, or you could design four rooms with one

shape in each room.

Step 2) Looking at the floor plan below, choose the room/rooms you will design, (how many rooms

you write down will depend if you choose Option A or B).

Formulas to know:

A(square) = l w

A(rectangle) = l w

A(parallelogram) = b h

A(triangle) = b h
2
A(circle) = π r2
Step 3) Using the appropriate formula, calculate the area of your room/rooms, and fill out the table Calculations (Show your work):

Step 5) Design your room/rooms. This does not need to be to scale.

Step 4) Choose the materials for your room/rooms. Research where you could buy them

(source/website), and how much they cost. Write down the dimensions of each material.
