Fountation
Volume Lab
By: Fletch Kuehne and Ryannie Orlick
April 7, 2005
Ryannie and I worked as a
team, we were asked to measure the volume of the fountation in the
circle of MSSD. Gallaudet University wants us to find the volume of the
fountation for soil and flowers purposes. The major purpose of finding
the volume is to fill the foundation up with soil and flowers to make
MSSD and Gallaudet University's environment looks beautifully. At
first, we used centimeters to measure the whole volume of the
fountation. We measured the each length of the fountation then
eliminated the decorated designs that are located in the middle of the
fountation. We were literally focused on drawing the scale to make our
graph very precisely. We were exasperated with our graph paper because
it often showed that it was absolutely mismatched with the picture of
the fountation at MSSD. Lastly, we have done our graph achievely, we
started over and measured everything again and we somewhat made our
graph practically perfect. We changed all measurements in meters by
moving the decimal left twicely. Centimeters and meters come in the
same metric unit, it is easier for us to transform the measurement if
we used the metric unit.
We used the formula A=1/2bh in order to find the
area of each triangle we measured on the below picture. We also used
the formula A=LW to find the area of either square or rectangle.

Here is the recommendation that we would like to purpose you.
We, Fletch Kuehne and Ryannie Orlick, purpose you to fill the
fountation up with the approximately amount of 13.878 m3 soil.
We have done everything in correct steps, we took one step at a time.
