CPROJECT POLYGON

Busch Gardens Skyride Construction Project

You and your partner have been asked by Busch Gardens Williamsburg

and Company to create a new Skyride system. They currently have a ride

that circulates between locations in France, Germany, and England. This

current ride, however, does not access other regions of the park, making

foot travel the main means for guests to get from place to place. Your job as a design-builder is to make a convex polygon Skyride that covers a

perimeter of at least 5,500 feet and has at minimum 8 stops. You may choose the locations of your stops as long as you create a convex polygon.

Busch Gardens has asked that you install your ride prior to the opening

of Christmas Town, so they have supplied you with a map with the Christmas

locations so that you may use them as reference points for your Skyride stop

locations. You and your partner will be asked to present your ride in two formats.

Written Description

•Answer all questions

• Include embeded picture of your polygon

•Use a dry erase marker to make your points and connect them

• Label all points on your polygon

• Include correct mathematical notation

•m∠𝐴𝐵𝐶 =? (use for angles)

•𝐴𝐵 =? (use for sides)

Build it!

• When building think about…• What makes your ride stand out?• Use poster board, clay, tri-fold, leggos...Sell your ride! Be creative!• No clipart graphics, you create your ride• No one piece of paper, pencil drawn in pictures.

• Create aspects of the ride that stands out. Perhaps...• Make a sign and name your ride• Create the front car or train of your ride• Make scenes that you see from your ride• And much more!
