Prisms and Pyramids: Layouts and Characteristics

Medium

(Originais Teachy 2023) - Question Medium of Mathematics

João is playing with cardboard and decides to make some simple geometric constructions. He cuts some sheets into appropriate shapes and folds them to create three-dimensional figures. After creating a rectangular prism and a pyramid with the same base and height, he observes that the flat patterns of the figures have distinct characteristics. Considering the flat pattern of the prism and the flat pattern of the pyramid, describe the differences that João can observe regarding the number of edges and faces of each figure and explain how he can identify which is the flat pattern of which figure without folding them again. Tip: Remember that the flat pattern of a figure is the shape it would have if it were 'unfolded' in two dimensions, as if it were a template to be assembled later.
a.
The flat pattern of the rectangular base prism has 6 faces and 12 edges, while the flat pattern of the pyramid with the same base and height has 6 faces and 11 edges.
b.
The flat pattern of the rectangular base prism has 7 faces and 14 edges, while the flat pattern of the pyramid with the same base and height has 5 faces and 10 edges.
c.
The flat pattern of the square base prism has 6 faces and 12 edges, while the flat pattern of the pyramid with the same base and height has 5 faces and 10 edges.
d.
The flat pattern of the rectangular base prism has 6 faces and 12 edges, while the flat pattern of the pyramid with the same base and height has 5 faces and 8 edges.
e.
The flat pattern of the rectangular base prism has 8 faces and 10 edges, while the flat pattern of the pyramid with the same base and height has 6 faces and 12 edges.

In a science project, students need to measure different volumes of liquids for their experiments. The scale used to measure the volume of water can only measure in multiples of 100 milliliters. When measuring, the scale shows 450.725 grams of water. We know that the density of water is 1 g/ml. (1) Round the volume measured by the scale to the nearest milliliter. (2) Explain why the scale provided a number in grams instead of milliliters and how you used the density of water to convert the measurement back to volume in milliliters.

In a large engineering system, a building is being designed and energy efficiency is a major concern. To ensure the efficiency of heating and cooling, the air conditioning system must be sized according to the specific needs of the building. The engineer in charge of the project must solve a system of linear equations to determine the ideal operating temperatures. Let the following be the system of equations that models the thermal behavior of the building: 2x + y + 3z = 10, 4x - 6y + 8z = 5, 3x + 7y + 5z = 18. The engineer must rewrite this system of equations in the matrix form Ax = b, where A is the matrix of coefficients, x is the vector of unknowns, and b is the vector of constant terms.
