In ancient India, the shapes of altrars used for house hold rituals were :

A wire 10 meter long is cut into two parts. One part is bent into the shape of a circle and the other into the shape of an equilateral triangle. How should the wire be cut so that the combined area of the two figures is as small as possible?

A window has the shape of a rectangle surmounted by an equilateral triangle. If the perimeter of the window is 12 m, find the dimensions of the rectangle that will produce the largest area of the window.

Take identical cut outs of congruent triangles of sides 3 cm ,4cm , 5cm Arrange them as shown . You get a trapezium (check if) which are the parallel sides here ? should the non -parallel sides be equal ? You can get two more trapeziums using the same set of triangles. Find them out and discuss their shapes.

Rachel, an engineering student, was asked to make a model shaped like a cyclinder. with two cones attached at its two ends by using a thin aluminium sheet. The diameter of the model is 3 cm and its length is 12 cm. If each cone has a height of 2 cm, find the volume of air contained in the model the Rachel made. (Assume the outer and inner dimensions of the model to be nearly the same.)

Investigate: Use strips nad fasteners to make a triangle and a quadrilateral. Try to push inward at any one vertex of the triangle.Do the same to the quadrilateral. Is the triangle distorted ?Is the quadrilateral distorted?Is the triangle rigid? Why is it that structures like electric towers make use of triangular shapes and not quadrilaterals?

In countries like USA and Canada, temperature is measured in Fahrenheit, whereas in countries like India, it is measured in Celsius. Here is a linear equation that converts Fahrenheit to Celsius: F=(9/5)C+32 Draw the graph of the linear equation above using Celsius for x-axis and Fahrenheit for y-axis.
