What are the dimensions for a plant pot holder that will hold the bean you planted in a cup?
What are the dimensions for a plant pot holder that will hold the bean you planted in a cup?
1) Measure the cup (it is basically a cyclinder so will have a diameter and a height) and record this in your book. Use rounding where appropriate. Add a comment on the accuracy of your measurements.

2) Sketch a 3d drawing of a rectangular prism / cuboid that this cup could completely sit inside. Add the dimensions (lengths) to this sketch. (for CL5 - do the following tasks using a cylinder for the shape)

3) For this cuboid, calculate the following (showing all your working)
3) For this cuboid, calculate the following (showing all your working)
- The perimeter of the top
- The area of bottom
- The total surface area of all 5 sides (why 5 sides and not 6?)
- The volume
4) You will construct the pot plant holder from an A3 size sheet of card. Use your search OR measurement skills to find these dimensions.

7)Design the net from which you will construct the pot plant holder. This must be able to fit on one sheet of A3. Suggest you do a plan first in your works book before you put your design on the A3 card. You may wish to do this using an onlie drawing tool (here's a link to make a copy of an A3 size Google Drawing). Feel free to decorate this card with mad colours and sick designs!

- Choose an approprite shaped template from the list available (Box with lid, Round box, Exploding Box are all suitable but there are others)
- Adjust the dimensions to suite.
- Change 'Page size' to A3
- Make sure the 'File format' is PDF
- Click 'Create!'
- Edit the PDF file that was created to make sure it is only 1 page (ie delete the page with the lid on it)
