Byron 1 A local millionaire who loves shapes has decided to hire a contractor to build her a new tower.

She would like a ten sided tower maximized on a 43x43 plot of land. nfortunately! due to local zonin" laws the tower cannot come within three feet of the ed"e of the 43x43 plot of land on any side. #ven with the zonin" laws this millionaire would like her tower to be as bi" as possible! while still bein" feasibly possible. She wants a door! two windows! and a roof made of a ten sided re"ular pyramid. After everythin" is calculated accordin" to her standards! she would like to see the math that was accomplished for this pro$ect. Maximizing (Part 2): %o be"in! the deca"onal bases of the actual tower must be maximized onto the 43x43 plot of land. nfortunately due to the local zonin" laws! the useable area of that plot of land is brou"ht down by three feet on each side of that plot of land &'i"ure 1. below(.

*ow that this is known! the deca"onal bases can be maximized. %he 43x43 plot of land must be dilated from the midpoint of the plot of land by 3+,43. %his is because of the local zonin" laws that brin" each side of the plot down by basically six feet. %his way the useable plot of land can be seen and visualized as to how to use it properly. *ext! find the midpoint of one side of the dilated plot of land &3+x3+ plot of land(! and draw a se"ment from that point to the midpoint of both plots of lands &'i"ure ). ri"ht(. *ow rotate that se"ment that "oes from the center point of the plots to the midpoint of the plot side by 3-.. %he se"ment needs to be rotated because in a deca"on! the shape can be divided into ten con"ruent trian"le all with a central an"le of 3-..

Byron 0 *ow all the variables that are needed to find the area of the first deca"on have been found. All that is left is to plu" them into a formula. %he variables that have been found are for the area of a trian"le! but that is okay because there are ten trian"les in a deca"on. %he area formula for a trian"le is %5 & 6,b,h*# %he value for %b* can be substituted with %!!#00*! and the value for %h* can be substituted with %!7#$3*# %hat will look like %5 & 6,!!#00,!7#$3*# ;hen all multiplied to"ether that is approximately %!22#$"$ feet2*# %hat is only the area for one trian"le thou"h! and there are ten in the actual deca"on. %hat means that area must be multiplied by ten to "et the correct area. So that would be 55-! & 5,!2*# %he variable %5* can be replaced with %!22#$"$* because that is %57s* value. %hat would be 55-! & !22#$"$,!2*+ which simplifies out to be %5-! & !22$#"$ feet2*# 2n the end! that is the area of the first deca"on. 'indin" the area of the next three deca"ons is much simpler. 3ne reason is because in 'i"ure 4. on pa"e 3! one can see that the hei"ht of the trian"les in the deca"ons is where the points were put one foot away from each other. %his means that as the deca"on "ets smaller! the hei"ht that was previously found simply decreases by a foot. So for deca"on two the hei"ht would be 51-.0@ feet7! or for deca"on three! 510.0@ feet7! and lastly for deca"on four! the hei"ht would be 514.0@ feet7. #ven with the hei"hts! the base is needed still. %o find the bases simply plu" the hei"hts into 5tan&( = 3,A7. %he 57 is the same value for each e4uation! that value bein" 1A..

But as soon as the bases were maximized! some mixIup in the math occurred that ended up "ivin" faulty answers for the areas of the bases. %hat problem was 4uickly resolved thou"h. Eastly! because such a small scaleIfactor was used when creatin" a scale model to show the millionaire for her approval! that it was somewhat difficult labelin" everythin" that needed to be labeled alon" with actually puttin" the model to"ether. 2n the end thou"h! the millionaire was completely satisfied.
