A Sweet Volume

The purpose of this project is to use polynomials, to design and fabricate a container for a mega chocolate bar. The container has to be built using a 22”x28” cardstock sheet, and its dimensions must give the maximum volume possible.

The container has be a trapezoidal prism, and the trapezoidal face an isosceles trapezoid, with acute angles of 60o. Students will build a real scale model of this container. This model has to be decorated as a real chocolate bar

Calculations and graphs can be done in MS-Excel or in a TI-Nspire, and a report including: design process, calculations done and pictures of the model, has also to be delivered.
