This is a measurement activity where students evaluate and select the most suitable water tank based on specific conditions.
$0.00
In this task, students are required to determine the most suitable water tank by:
- Maximizing capacity: Selecting the tank with the largest possible volume.
- Minimizing material costs: Evaluating the surface area of the tank to ensure the material required is cost-effective.
Students are encouraged to use technology, including the Conversion Assistant on the TI-Nspire, to perform calculations and analyze their options. They must justify their final decision by presenting their calculations and explaining how their choice meets the initial conditions.
