Math Questions

Yesterday's Question - Using only 100m of rope, determine the largest possible swimming area (not pool).  Which shape offers the greatest area?

Today's question - Based on discussions in class today involving measurement and geometry, many of you believe that a cylinder shaped like a standard piece of 8.5inch x 11inch paper when held vertically or turned on it's side would hold the same amount of liquid. Your task is to explore the answer for understanding.

Enjoy!

PS - several of you have yet to comment on our Maestro questions...: )
