Introduction:
In my project I am going to demonstrate how changing the volume of a shape does not mean that we have to have a completely new shape. By making a few cuts into a chocolate bar I can show you how to make a perfect rectangle by getting rid of one square. By manipulating the slope of a diagonal line, I am going to trick your eyes, so that instead of seeing and believing your will believe and then see . Understanding that everything I do, involves geometry. When the diagonal cut is made from the second bar on the left side up to the third bar on the right, it allows to move the chocolate, thus making the third from bottom row smaller. This missing layer is equivalent to the square taken and put into the cup, but is hardly noticeable because the viewer counts each square - and doesn't actually measure the chocolate bar. The missing chocolate square is taken off the length of the bar, instead of a gap in the top left corner. Every thing from baking a cake to equally dividing a candy bar. I am here to show you how easy it is to apply math to something as simple as splitting up a candy bar. I will split it so carefully that you will hardly notice the difference from the original shape.
Driving Question:
How does changing the dimensions of an object affect it's shape?
By changing the dimension of an object the shape will not be severely affected appearance wise in our project ,but once you compare the original length and width then the difference will be present. In other shapes if the dimensions are changed then the shape will be severely affected as the objects length, width, and height are the component of the dimension of a shape. If these components are slightly changed then the shape will change.
