Process

Set up a procedure to calculate the surface area of each region.
.....a) In your final presentation you should be able to detail the reasons behind the procedure you chose. .....b) The procedure must use the various geometric area formula learning in this class. You cannot steal the answers from the internet. You are responsible for creating your own answers using scale maps and drawings. .....c) Your presentation must incorporate historical facts detailing the reasons for the changing borders. .....d) Lastly, keep in mind this is a competition for a research contract, The Brass Ring. The more dazzling and jam packed with information your project is, the more likely you will be chosen. Dr. Pepper is watching.
