Fountaion Volume Lab!

By Ryannie and Fletch
April 7, 2005 until April 21, 2005



Equipment: ruler, measuring tape, graph paper, pencil, calculator, and clipboard



Fletch and I discussed about the strategy to measure the fountaion. We need to find the volume of the fountain then give in to PPD for order the soil. He and I made a lot of error with the measure because we did not prepare with the scale.   Finally, we are done with the scaling and found the result. We did measure a lot of the "wall" of fountain. Still it was not easy to figure out because it was a lot of work with the formulas. I am sure you will enjoy the graph of the result now. Fletch and I did not give up with this!

 

1. 3.03 meters
2. 3.22 meters
3. 1.74 meters
4. 1.045 meters
5. 7.66 meters
6. 8.325 meters
7.3.58 meters
8. 3.37 meters
9. 2.14 meters
10. 6.875 meters
11. 1.365 meters
12. 4.03 meters
The deep is .275 meters

                    Wanna hear the result of  volume??? Be Patient!


Ahem... First thing, we designed this foundation then divided those in square, triangle, and rectangle. When we done with it then we used the ruler (metric) to find the measure then divided 75 metric. We did put down on the separate paper of the  answer for find  the area of volume. 

We used the formulas:

  • square = a 2
  • rectangle = ab
  • triangle =   1/2(bh)

When we  are done with those  then multiplied everything by .275.  The answer is.... Go  down!

Dear PPD:


Hello, my name is Ryan Orlick and my partner’s name is Fletch Kuehne. We did our research with the measure for the fountain in the circle in front of Model Secondary School for the Deaf. We found the result of the volume is 13.9  m³ .  We recommendation to you use our volume for the soil.




Thank you,

Ryannie & Fletch







  Worked our 'you know what' off on the measurements!


   What is he doing?
