45 b) i) h < 7 cm , h > 45 cm This is because any heights lower than 7 cm will result in the diameter of the cake being too big to fit into the baking oven while any heights higher than 45 cm will cause the cake being too tall to fit into the baking oven

b) ii) I would suggest the dimensions of the cake to be 29 cm in height and approximately 29 cm in diameter. This is because a cake with these dimensions is more symmetrical and easier to decorate.

To calculate volume of cream used, the cream is symbolised as the larger cylinder and the cake is symbolised as the smaller cylinder. Vcream = 3.142 x 15.442 x 30 19000 = 22471 19000 = 3471 cm3

Estimated volume of cream used = 30 x 27.6 x 27.6 - 19000 = 22852.8 19000 = 3852.8 cm3 b) ii) Triangle shaped cake
Estimated volume of cream used = x 39.7 x 39.7 x 30 19000 = 23641.4 19000 = 4641.4 cm3 b) iii) Trapezium shaped cake
Estimated volume of cream used = x (28+42.5) x 22 x 30 - 19000 = 23265 19000 = 4265 cm3 * All estimations in the values are based on the assumption that the layer of cream is uniformly thick at 1 cm

c) Based on the values I have obtained, the round shaped cake requires the least amount of fresh cream (3471 cm3)

Method 1: By comparing values of height against volume of cream used

According to the table above, the minimum volume of cream used is 3303.66 cm3 when h = 18cm. When h = 18cm, r = 18.3 cm

Method 2: Using differentiation Assuming that the surface area of the cake is proportionate to the amount of fresh cream needed to decorate the cake.* Formula for surface area = r2 + 2rh h = 19000 / 3.142r2 Surface area in contact with cream = r2 + 2r(19000 / 3.142r2) = r2 + (38000/r) The values, when plotted into a graph will from a minimum value that can be obtained through differentiation. dy dx dy dx =0 = 2r (38000/r2) = 2r (38000/r2) = 6.284r3 38000 = 6.284r3 = r3 =r 18.22 cm, h = 18.22 cm
The dimensions of the cake that requires the minimum amount of fresh cream to decorate is approximately 18.2 cm in height and 18.2 cm in radius. I would bake a cake of such dimensions because the cake would not be too large for the cutting or eating of said cake, and it would not be too big to bake in a conventional oven. * The above conjecture is proven by the following When r = 10, ~ the total surface area of the cake is 4114.2 cm2 ~ the amount of fresh cream needed to decorate the cake is 4381.2 cm3 ~ the ratio of total surface area of cake to amount of fresh cream needed is 0.94 When r = 20,

~ the total surface area of the cake is 3156.8 cm2 ~ the amount of fresh cream needed to decorate the cake is 3308.5 cm3 ~ the ratio of total surface area of cake to amount of fresh cream needed is 0.94 Therefore, the above conjecture is proven to be true.

F URTHER EXPLORATION a) Volume of cake 1 = r2h = 3.142 x 31 x 31 x 6 = 18116.772 cm3 Volume of cake 3 = r2h = 3.142 x (0.9 x 0.9 x 31)2 x 6 0.9 x 31)2 x 6 = 3.142 x (25.11)2 x 6 = 11886.414 cm3 Volume of cake 2 = r2h = 3.142 x (0.9 x 31)2 x 6 = 3.142 x (27.9)2 x 6 = 14676.585 cm3 Volume of cake 4 = r2h = 3.142 x (0.9 x 0.9 x = 3.142 x (22.599)2 x 6 = 9627.995 cm3
The values 118116.772, 14676.585, 11886.414, 9627.995 form a number pattern. The pattern formed is a geometrical progression. This is proven by the fact that there is a common ratio between subsequent numbers, r = 0.81. 14676.585 = 0.81 18116.772 9627.995 = 0.81 11886.414

Therefore, maximum number of cakes needed to be made = 4

Reflection
In the process of conducting this project, I have learnt that perseverance pays off, especially when you obtain a just reward for all your hard work. For me, succeeding in completing this project work has been reward enough. I have also learnt that mathematics is used everywhere in daily life, from the most simple things like baking and decorating a cake, to designing and building monuments. Besides that, I have learned many moral values that I practice. This project work had taught me to be more confident when doing something especially the homework given by the teacher. I also learned to be a more disciplined student who is punctual and independent.

CONCLUSION
2011
After doing research.answering questions,drawing graph,I saw that the uses of geometry,calculus and progressions are important in our daily life.Geometry,calculus and progressions are part of our necessities.Thus we should thankful to the people who contribute in the idea of geometry,calculus and progressions because without them,we cant done a multi-storey cake,and it will be hard for us to find out the volume of ingredients needed for the cake.Thats why
