Think About a Plan

Visualization Draw and describe a cross section formed

by a plane intersecting the cube as follows.
The plane is tilted and intersects the front and back faces of the cube
perpendicular to the left and right faces.
Understanding the Problem

1. What is a cube? Draw a typical view of a cube and describe a cube.
a rectangular prism with six square faces, all congruent
2. What is a plane? Draw a typical view of a plane and describe a plane.

a two-dimensional surface unbounded in all directions
3. What is a cross section? Draw a plane passing through your cube

that is parallel to the top and bottom faces of your cube. Explain
why the cross section is a square. A cross section is an
intersection of a solid and a plane. It is a very thin slice of the
solid. Because the plane is parallel to two opposing faces, the cross section is congruent
to the faces. So, the cross section is a square congruent to the faces.
Planning the Solution

4. How can you use your understanding of cubes, planes, and cross sections to
draw a plane that is tilted and intersects the front and back faces of the cube
perpendicular to the left and right faces?
Look at the drawing of a parallel plane to understand how a tilted plane is different.
5. You showed that if a plane is not tilted, the cross section is a square. How can
you use this knowledge to predict what the cross section will look like if the
plane is tilted? Contrast the cross section you get when the plane is parallel to the cross
section you will get when the plane is tilted.
Getting an Answer
6. Prepare to draw a plane that is tilted and intersects the front and back faces
of the cube perpendicular to the left and right faces by studying your drawing
of a plane parallel to the top and bottom faces. Imagine the thin slice created
when this tilted plane passes through the cube. Describe this cross section.
The cross section is a rectangle. Two sides are the same length as the edges of the cube,
and two sides are longer than the edges.

Archimedean Solids
An Archimedean solid is a polyhedron that has a similar arrangement of polygons
about each vertex. The faces of an Archimedean solid are made up of two or more
types of regular polygons.
In total, there are 13 Archimedean solids. One example is the
icosidodecahedron, shown in the drawings at the right.
1. What are the regular polygons that make up the faces of an

icosidodecahedron? Describe the polygons that meet at each vertex.
Pentagons and triangles; at each vertex two regular pentagons and
two equilateral triangles meet.
Some of the Archimedean solids can be made by cutting off the corners of a
regular polyhedron, or Platonic solid. Follow the steps below to make a
truncated cube.
a. Draw a cube (or make a cube out of modeling clay).
b. Visualize a tilted plane that intersects the top, front, and right faces of the
cube such that the cross section is an equilateral triangle. This plane should
be closer to the corner of the cube than the midpoint of the edges. Draw
this cross section (or cut off the corner of the cube of modeling clay).
c. Repeat step (b) with the other corners of the cube (or the clay). All cross
sections should be congruent.
2. What are the regular polygons that make up the faces of a truncated cube?
Describe the polygons that meet at each vertex.
Octagons and triangles; at each vertex two octagons and a triangle meet.
3. Suppose that the cross sections have been formed by planes that cut off the
corners of the cube and intersect the midpoints of the edges. Draw or model
the solid that would be formed. What are the regular polygons that make up
the faces of this solid?
squares and triangles
4. Other Archimedean solids that can be made by cutting off the corners
of a Platonic solid include the truncated tetrahedron and the truncated
octahedron. Follow a set of steps similar to those above to create these solids.
Then describe the faces of each.
truncated tetrahedron: hexagonal and triangular faces; truncated octahedron:
hexagonal and square faces

A polyhedron is a three-dimensional figure with faces that are polygons. Faces

intersect at edges, and edges meet at vertices.
Faces, vertices, and edges are related by Euler’s Formula: F 1 V 5 E 1 2.
For two dimensions, such as a representation of a polyhedron by a net, Euler’s
Formula is F 1 V 5 E 1 1. (F is the number of regions formed by V vertices
linked by E segments.)

A cross section is the intersection of a solid and a plane. Cross sections can be
many different shapes, including polygons and circles.
The cross section of this solid and this plane is a rectangle.
This cross section is a horizontal plane.
To draw a cross section, visualize a plane intersecting one face at a
time in parallel segments. Draw the parallel segments, then join their
endpoints and shade the cross section.

a. How does that affect the lateral area?
b. How does that affect the surface area?
c. Use the formula for surface area of a right cylinder to explain why the
surface area in part (b) was not doubled.

1. What is the formula for the lateral area of a right cylinder? L.A. 5 2πrh
2. What is the formula for the surface area of a right cylinder? S.A. 5 2πrh 1 2πr2

3. How does doubling the radius affect the formulas for the lateral and
surface areas? In the formula for the surface area, where do you need
to be most careful?
Replace r with 2r everywhere it appears in each formula; in the formula for
surface area, be careful to apply the exponent of 2 to 2r, not just r.
4. How do you compare the new formulas you get after doubling the radius in
the original formulas?
Factor each formula or divide the new formula by the old formula.
Getting an Answer
5. Write the formula for the new lateral area after the radius has been doubled.
Compare this to the original formula for the lateral area. What effect does
doubling the radius have?
Original formula: L.A. 5 2πrh; the formula after doubling the radius is

New S.A. 5 2π(2r)h 1 2π(2r)2 5 4πrh 1 8πr2 ; the area of the base has been
quadrupled. So, the surface area has more than doubled.

11-2 Surface Areas of Cylinders and Prisms
A prism is a polyhedron with two congruent parallel faces called bases. The
non-base faces of a prism are lateral faces. The dimensions of a right prism
can be used to calculate its lateral area and surface area.
The lateral area of a right prism is the product of the perimeter of the base and
the height of the prism.

Think About a Plan

Writing The two cylinders pictured at the right are congruent.

How does the volume of the larger cone compare to the total
volume of the two smaller cones? Explain.

1. You are told that the two cylinders are congruent. What does that tell you
about the cones?
It tells you that the larger cone is twice as tall as the smaller cones.
2. You are asked to compare the volumes of the cones. Can you find the exact
volumes of the cones? In what other way can you compare their volumes?
No; you can compare their volumes using the formulas for the volumes of
the cones.

3. What are the variables in the formula for the volume of a cone? What do
they represent?
The variables are the radius of the base, r, and the height of the cone, h.
4. Let r represent the radius of the larger cone. What is the radius of the smaller
cones in terms of r? Let h represent the height of the larger cone. What is the
height of the smaller cones in terms of h? Explain.
Because the radii are equal, the radius of the smaller cones is also r; because
the height of the smaller cones is one-half the height of the larger cone, the
height of the smaller cones is 12 h.
Getting an Answer
5. What is the formula for the volume of the larger cone? What is the formula for
the volume of the smaller cones?
larger cone: V 5 13 πr 2h; smaller cones: V 5 13 πr 2 (12 h)
6. How does the volume of the larger cone compare to the total volume of the
smaller cones?
Because 13 πr 2 (12 h) 1 13 πr 2 (12 h) 5 13 πr 2h, the volume of the larger cone is equal
to the total volume of the two smaller cones.

Think About a Plan

Reasoning A carpenter is making a blanket chest based on an antique chest.

Both chests have the shape of a rectangular prism. The length, width, and height
of the new chest will all be 4 in. greater than the respective dimensions of the
antique. Will the chests be similar? Explain.

1. How much longer will the blanket chest be than the
antique chest? How much wider will it be? How much taller will
it be? Draw a diagram of the blanket chest showing the increase
in each dimension.
The new chest will be 4 in. longer, wider, and taller than the antique chest.
2. If two solids are similar, what must be true about their

corresponding dimensions?
Each pair of corresponding dimensions must satisfy the same ratio.

3. Practice explaining your reasoning. Imagine a chest has dimensions
3 ft-by-3 ft-by-3 ft. Add 4 in. to each dimension. Is the new chest similar to the
old chest? Explain.
Yes; the ratios between each pair of corresponding dimensions are equal.
4. Practice explaining your reasoning. Suppose a chest has dimensions

4 ft-by-3 ft-by-3 ft. Add 4 in. to each dimension. Is the new chest similar to
the old chest? Explain.
No; the new chest is not similar because the ratios between each pair of
corresponding dimensions are not equal.
Getting an Answer
5. How can you generalize the dimensions of the old chest?
Sample: The dimensions can be represented by the variables <, w, and h.
6. Using the dimensions of the chest, determine whether the new chest and the
old chest will be similar.
Unless < 5 w 5 h, then the ratios between each pair of corresponding
dimensions will not be equal, and they will not be similar.

TEACHER INSTRUCTIONS
Chapter 11 Project Teacher Notes: The Place Is Packed
About the Project

Students will explore designs of packages and what a manufacturer might
consider when designing the packaging of a product. Then they will design
and construct their own package and shipping container.
Introducing the Project

• Ask students: Why are the drinks you buy at a fast-food restaurant sold
in cups that are wider at the top than at the bottom? Why are books
rectangular and not round or trapezoid-shaped? Why are many toys in
packages unassembled?
• Ask students whether the package design of any products they use has
changed (toothpaste containers, soft drink containers, juice boxes). Why do
they think the packaging has been changed?
Activity 1: Measuring
Check that the containers students collect can be cut open. As they cut them open,
make sure that they are careful to include all sections of the package in their
calculations of the total area of the packaging. Students must know how to
calculate the area of cylinders and prisms.
Activity 2: Analyzing
This activity reinforces the fact that different prisms can have the same volume.
Activity 3: Investigating
You may want to provide a variety of containers of different shapes and sizes for
students to analyze. Alternatively, students could draw examples of containers
that have deceptive shapes.
Activity 4: Designing
Encourage students to complete their package designs by adding the product
information on the packages.
Finishing the Project

You may wish to plan a project day on which students share their completed
projects. Encourage students to share their processes as well as their products.
• Have students review their package designs and shipping containers along
with their measurements and calculations.
• Ask students to share any insights they found when completing the
project, such as how they decided what package and shipping container
designs to use.

Chapter 11 Project: The Place Is Packed
Beginning the Chapter Project

Manufacturers consider dozens of factors before determining which shape will
best suit the consumer and boost the company’s profits.
In the chapter project, you will explore package design and uncover reasons for
the shapes that manufacturers have chosen. You will design and construct your
own package and shipping container. You will see how spatial sense and business
go hand in hand to determine the shapes of things you use every day.
Activities
Activity 1: Measuring Check students’ work.
Collect some empty cardboard containers shaped like prisms and cylinders.
• Measure each container, and calculate its surface area.
• Flatten each container by carefully separating the places where it has been
glued together. Find the total area of the packaging material used.
• For each container, find the percent by which the area of the packaging
material exceeds the surface area of the container.
1. How does an unfolded prism-shaped package differ from a net for a prism?
2. What did you find out about the amount of extra material needed for
prism-shaped containers? For cylindrical containers?
3. Why would a manufacturer be concerned about the surface area of a
package? About the amount of material used to make the package?
Activity 2: Analyzing Check students’ work.

Copy and complete the table below for four different rectangular
prisms, each of which has a volume of 216 cm3.
Length Width Depth Volume (V) Surface Area (S.A.) Ratio
(cm) (cm) (cm) (cm3) (cm2) V : S.A.
6 6 6 216 216 1i1
2 3 36 216 372 18 i 31
3 3 24 216 306 12 i 17
4 6 9 216 228 18 i 19
1. Which of the prisms uses the container material most efficiently? Least
efficiently? Explain. 6 by 6 by 6; 2 by 3 by 36; the lower the ratio, the more material is
being used to enclose the same volume.
2. Why would a manufacturer be concerned about the ratio of volume to
surface area? to minimize the cost of packaging
3. Why are cereal boxes not shaped to give the greatest ratio of volume to
surface area? Sample: A cereal box is used for promoting the product, so it needs a
large surface area on the front.

Chapter 11 Project: The Place Is Packed (continued)
Activity 3: Investigating Check students’ work.

Do some container shapes seem to contain more product for the same money?
Go to a supermarket and identify a variety of container shapes. Do some shapes
make you think the containers hold more than they actuallly do? What factors
does a manufacturer consider in deciding the shape of a container? Write a report
about your findings.
Activity 4: Designing Check students’ work.

Design and construct your own package for a product of your choice. Draw a net
for your package, and specify the dimensions, surface area, amount and type of
packaging material used, and volume of the package. Justify your design with
mathematical and economic arguments.
Finishing the Project

To ship your product, the individual packages must be packed into larger
containers. Design and build a container that will efficiently pack the containers
you designed in Activity 4: Designing. Draw a net for your shipping container,
including dimensions, surface area, the amount and type of material used, volume
of the container, and the number of individual packages that will be packed in the
container. Justify your design with mathematical and economic arguments.
Reflect and Revise

Ask a classmate to review your project with you. Together, check that your package
design and shipping container are complete, your diagrams and explanations
clear, and your information accurate. Have you used geometric terms correctly?
Have you considered other possible designs? Revise your work as needed.
Extending the Project

Find pictures of packaged products in newspapers or magazine advertisements.
Identify the shape of each package. Give possible reasons that the manufacturer
chose each package design.

Chapter 11 Project Manager: The Place Is Packed
Getting Started
Read about the project. As you work on it, you will need an assortment of empty
containers or packages for various products. Keep all of your written work for the
project in a folder, along with this Project Manager.
Checklist Suggestions
☐ Activity 1: ☐ For example, if the surface area of a box is 75 cm2
percent overlap and it contains 90 cm2 of cardboard, the amount of
cardboard exceeds the surface area by 1575 of 20%.
☐ Activity 2: ☐ To simplify calculations, choose whole-number
efficient containers values for the dimensions.
☐ Activity 3: ☐ Include some cone-shaped or tapered containers
deceptive shapes (syrup, oil, and dish detergent, for example).
☐ Activity 4: ☐ Think of a product that you find interesting,
package design use a lot, or wish someone would make.
☐ container design ☐ Consider also that many of the containers
you design would be packaged for shipping.
