Building Project

Intro The purpose of this investigation is to find out all the measurements needed to make a shed.

Floor area The floor area is a rectangle with the dimensions: 6.2m X 8.3m The area of the floor is 51.46㎡ the amount of concrete needed for the floor is: 6.2 X 8.3 X 0.1 = 5.146m cubed.

Foundations The builders can use the converse of Pythagoras to ensure that the corner is 90°. The amount of concrete used to fill the trench around the floor is 2.50㎥.

Brickwork 8.3 X 2.4 = 19.92 The area of the western wall is 19.92㎡. 19.92 - 2.31 = 17.61 The area of the Eastern wall is 17.61㎡. (2.4 X 6.2) - 3 = 11.88 The area of the northern wall is 11.88㎡. (6.2 X 2.4) - ((2.1 X 2) X 2) = 6.48 The area of the Southern wall is 6.48㎡ Amount of bricks for whole project 6.48 + 11.88 + 17.61 + 19.92 = 55.89㎡ squared of brickwork = 2794.5 bricks

Conclusion After completing this D.I. I have learned that many materials are needed to build a shed, resulting in a lot of money also needed.
