Project 2- (Area)
When architects and designers plan buildings, they must be careful to draw their
ideas to scale, to ensure that there is enough room to fit all of the things that they
want. In this project, you are going to be planning out an entire zoo! You must
sketch out your plan on an A3 size paper, and be sure to draw everything to scale.
Remember, when finding the area of a rectangular place, you must multiply the
length times the width. This means, if the giraffe pen must be 36 square
centimeters, you can make it several different ways: 6x6, 18x2, 12x3, etc.
Use the checklist below to design your zoo. Remember that it all must fit onto an A3
paper.
