 PROJECT TASK:1
TASK 1: PARK LAYOUT :USING COORDINATE GEOMETRY, DETERMINE THE COORDINATES OF
THE FOUR CORNERS OF THE PARK'S BOUNDARY. THE PARK IS IRREGULAR IN SHAPE.
CALCULATE THE AREA OF THE PARK IN SQUARE METERS AND FIND THE PERIMETER IN
METERS.

Area=Length × Breadth Perimeter = 2 x (L+b)

Given that the length L is 16m Length = 16m

units and the breadth B is 10m Breath=10m

Area=16×10Area=16×10 = 2x (l+b)

Area=160 =52 m2

TASK 2: TASK 3: CIRCULAR FOUNTAIN INSTALLATION : IDENTIFY THE CENTRAL COORDINATES
FOR THE CIRCULAR
FOUNTAIN USING COORDINATE GEOMETRY. THE DIAMETER OF THE CIRCULAR FOUNTAIN IS
15 METERS.
CALCULATE THE AREA OF THE CIRCULAR FOUNTAIN IN SQUARE METERS AND FIND THE
PERIMETER
(CIRCUMFERENCE) IN METERS.
Diameter = 15
Radius=7.5 (Half of Diamter)

Area of Circle=
πr2
= 22/7 x 7.5 x 7.5
= 176.78
Perimeter = 2πr
= 2 x 22/7 x 7.5
= 47.14 cm

TASK 3: CIRCULAR FOUNTAIN INSTALLATION : IDENTIFY THE CENTRAL COORDINATES FOR
THE CIRCULAR
FOUNTAIN USING COORDINATE GEOMETRY. THE DIAMETER OF THE CIRCULAR FOUNTAIN IS
15 METERS.
CALCULATE THE AREA OF THE CIRCULAR FOUNTAIN IN SQUARE METERS AND FIND THE
PERIMETER
(CIRCUMFERENCE) IN METERS.
To calculate the percentage of water that can be conserved through the rainwater harvesting system, you can use the
following formula:

Percentage of Water Conserved=(Amount of Water Saved Total Water Usage)×

100Percentage of Water Conserved=(Total Water Usage Amount of Water Saved​)×100 Given that the rainwater harvesting system
can collect 2000 litres of water per month and the park uses an average of 500 litres of water per month for irrigation, you
can calculate the amount of water saved Amount of Water Saved=Rainwater Harvested−Water Used for Irrigation
Amount of Water Saved=Rainwater Harvested−Water Used for Irrigation Amount of Water Saved=2000 liters−500 litres =1500 litres
Amount of Water Saved=2000liters−500liters=1500litersNowplug this value into the percentage formula:
Percentage of Water Conserved=(15002000)×100Percentage of Water Conserved=(20001500​)×100
Percentage of Water Conserved=75%Percentage of Water Conserved=75%

Therefore, the rainwater harvesting system can conserve 75% of the water used for irrigation each month. This indicates a
significant reduction in dependence on external water sources, promoting sustainability and water conservation in the
park.

TASK 5: SOLAR-POWERED LIGHTING EFFICIENCY :THE PARK'S LIGHTING SYSTEM INCLUDES 10 SOLAR-
POWERED LIGHTS. EACH LIGHT CONSUMES 30 WATTS PER HOUR. CALCULATE THE TOTAL ENERGY

Calculate Daily Energy Consumption: Daily Energy Consumption=Number of Lights ×

Watts per Light×Hours of Operation per DayDaily Energy Consumption=Number of Lights × Watts per Light ×
Hours of Operation per Day
For the solar-powered lights: Daily Energy Consumption (Solar)=10 lights×30
watts/light×Hours of Operation per Day
Daily Energy Consumption (Solar)=10lights×30watts/light×Hours of Operation per Day
For the traditional lights: Daily Energy Consumption (Traditional)=10 lights×100
watts/light×Hours of Operation per Day
Daily Energy Consumption (Traditional)=10lights×100watts/light×Hours of Operation per Day. Therefore, using
solar-powered lights can achieve a 70% reduction in energy consumption compared to traditional lights.

CONCLUSION
AS I CONCLUDE THIS PROJECT, THE JOURNEY THROUGH PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTING VARIOUS ASPECTS OF AN ECO-FRIENDLY RECREATIONAL PARK HAS BEEN INSIGHTFUL AND
REWARDING. THE APPLICATION OF MATHEMATICAL CONCEPTS IN ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING AND SUSTAINABILITY IS CRUCIAL FOR CREATING EFFICIENT, RESOURCE-CONSCIOUS
SOLUTIONS. HERE ARE SOME REFLECTIONS ON WHAT I'VE LEARNED, CHALLENGES FACED, AND THE IMPORTANCE OF MATH AND SUSTAINABILITY:

• WHAT I'VE LEARNED:

1. INTEGRATION OF DISCIPLINES: THIS PROJECT HAS HIGHLIGHTED THE IMPORTANCE OF INTEGRATING DIVERSE DISCIPLINES SUCH AS COORDINATE GEOMETRY, MENSURATION, STATISTICS,
AND ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING. MATHEMATICS SERVES AS A BRIDGE TO BRING THESE FIELDS TOGETHER FOR A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH TO PROBLEM-SOLVING.
2. REAL-LIFE APPLICATION: THE PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF MATHEMATICAL CONCEPTS IN DESIGNING AN ECO-FRIENDLY PARK SHOWCASES THE RELEVANCE OF THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE.
FROM CALCULATING AREAS AND PERIMETERS TO DETERMINING WATER CONSERVATION PERCENTAGES, THESE SKILLS DIRECTLY CONTRIBUTE TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF SUSTAINABLE
SOLUTIONS.
3. DATA INTERPRETATION: ANALYZING DATA, WHETHER RELATED TO WATER CONSUMPTION OR ENERGY EFFICIENCY, IS ESSENTIAL FOR INFORMED DECISION-MAKING. IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT
MATHEMATICAL CALCULATIONS BUT ALSO ABOUT INTERPRETING AND MAKING SENSE OF THE RESULTS IN THE CONTEXT OF ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY.
• CHALLENGES FACED:
1. DATA AVAILABILITY: ONE CHALLENGE WAS THE ABSENCE OF SPECIFIC DATA POINTS. FOR EXAMPLE, WITHOUT CENTRAL COORDINATES FOR THE CIRCULAR FOUNTAIN, ASSUMPTIONS HAD
TO BE MADE. THIS EMPHASIZES THE IMPORTANCE OF ACCURATE DATA COLLECTION IN REAL-WORLD PROJECTS.
2. INTERDISCIPLINARY COMPLEXITY: THE NEED TO BALANCE MATHEMATICAL PRECISION WITH ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS AND SUSTAINABILITY GOALS ADDED COMPLEXITY. IT
REQUIRED A NUANCED UNDERSTANDING OF HOW MATHEMATICAL SOLUTIONS TRANSLATE INTO PRACTICAL AND SUSTAINABLE OUTCOMES.
• IMPORTANCE OF MATH AND SUSTAINABILITY:
1. EFFICIENT RESOURCE UTILIZATION: MATHEMATICS PLAYS A PIVOTAL ROLE IN OPTIMIZING RESOURCE UTILIZATION. WHETHER IT'S DESIGNING THE LAYOUT OF THE PARK, CALCULATING
WATER CONSERVATION, OR EVALUATING ENERGY CONSUMPTION, MATH HELPS IN MAKING DECISIONS THAT MINIMIZE WASTE AND MAXIMIZE EFFICIENCY.
2. QUANTIFYING IMPACT: SUSTAINABILITY GOALS OFTEN INVOLVE QUANTIFYING THE IMPACT OF DECISIONS. MATH PROVIDES THE TOOLS TO MEASURE AND ASSESS THESE IMPACTS,
ENABLING STAKEHOLDERS TO TRACK PROGRESS, SET BENCHMARKS, AND ADJUST STRATEGIES FOR CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT.
3. LONG-TERM PLANNING: THE INTEGRATION OF MATH IN SUSTAINABILITY PLANNING ALLOWS FOR THE CREATION OF MODELS AND PROJECTIONS. THIS ENABLES STAKEHOLDERS TO MAKE
INFORMED DECISIONS FOR THE LONG-TERM, CONSIDERING THE ENVIRONMENTAL, ECONOMIC, AND SOCIAL ASPECTS OF THE PROJECT.

• IN CONCLUSION, THIS PROJECT HAS REINFORCED THE SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MATHEMATICS AND SUSTAINABILITY. AS WE STRIVE TO CREATE A MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY
CONSCIOUS WORLD, MATHEMATICAL TOOLS EMPOWER US TO DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT SOLUTIONS THAT ARE NOT ONLY EFFICIENT BUT ALSO SUSTAINABLE IN THE LONG RUN. THE
CHALLENGES ENCOUNTERED HAVE UNDERSCORED THE IMPORTANCE OF COLLABORATION AND INTERDISCIPLINARY UNDERSTANDING IN ADDRESSING COMPLEX, REAL-WORLD ISSUES.
MOVING FORWARD, THE LESSONS LEARNED HERE CAN SERVE AS A FOUNDATION FOR FUTURE PROJECTS THAT AIM TO BALANCE HUMAN ACTIVITIES WITH ENVIRONMENTAL PRESERVATION.
