Apply Geometric Methods To Design Problems
Overview
Design problems ask you to shape something to meet a goal: the largest area for a fixed fence, a container of a required volume, a layout that fits a space. Geometry gives the methods to model the problem and find a solution that works.
In this lesson you will apply geometric methods to solve design and modeling problems, combining area, volume and shape properties to meet given constraints and make sensible decisions.
Objectives
- Apply geometric methods to solve design and modeling problems.
