VIDEO: Geometry Applications: Area and Volume

Topic

Area and Volume

Description

This video series, "Geometry Applications: Area and Volume," explores key mathematical principles through real-world examples. In the first segment, the concept of density is examined using the Titanic to demonstrate buoyancy, the relationship between mass and volume, and how direct variation and rational functions apply to ship design for optimal floating capacity. The second segment focuses on surface area, highlighting the Louvre Pyramid to explain geometric tessellations, triangular net calculations, and the surface area formula for pyramids, with practical applications in architectural design and material efficiency. The final segment delves into the surface area-to-volume ratio, using the Citigroup Building as a case study to illustrate its impact on energy efficiency in buildings, while drawing comparisons to natural examples like polar bears and snakes for added context.
