Introduction
The diagram below shows the gate of an art gallery. A concrete structure
is built at the upper part of the gate and the words ART GALLERY is written on
it. The top of the concrete structure is flat whereas at the bottom is parabolic in
shape. The concrete structure is supported by two vertical pillars at both ends.
The distance between the two pillars is 4 metres and the height of the
pillar is 5 metres. The height of the concrete structure is 1 metre. The shortest
distance from point A of the concrete structure to point B, that is the highest
point on the parabolic shape, is 0.5 metres.

Question:
(a) The parabolic shape of the concrete structure can be represented byvarious functions depending on the point of reference. Based ondifferent points of reference, obtain at least three different functions
which can be used to represent the curve of this concrete structure.
(b) The front surface of this concrete structure will be painted before thewords ART GALLERY is written on it. Find the area to be painted.
Solution:

Further Exploration
(a) You are given four different shapes of concrete structures as shown inthe diagrams below. All the structures have the same thickness of
40cm and are symmetrical
(i) Given that the cost to construct 1 cubic metre of concrete isRM840.00, determine which structure will cost the minimum to
construct.
(ii) As the president of Arts Club, you are given the opportunity todecide on the shape of the gate to be constructed. Which shape
would you choose? Explain and elaborate on your reasons forchoosing the shape.

Structure 4
(ii) As the president of the Arts Club, I will decide Structure 4 as the shape of
the gate to be constructed. It is because Structure 4 will cost the minimum and
it is easier to be constructed compared to Structure 1 which is a curve.

(b) The following questions refer to the concrete structure in the diagram
below.
If the value ofkincreases with a common difference of 0.25 m;
(i) Complete Table 1 by finding the values ofkand the corresponding areasof the concrete structure to be painted.
(ii) Observe the values of the area to be painted from Table 1. Do you seeany pattern? Discuss.
k(m) Area to be painted()0.00 0.25
0.50 0.75 1.00 1.25 1.50
1.75 2.00

(ii) There is a pattern in the area to be painted.
The area to be painted decreases as the kincreases 0.25m and form a series of
numbers:
3, 2.9375, 2.875, 2.8125, 2.75, 2.6875, 2.625, 2.5625, 2.5
We can see that the difference between each term and the next term is the
same.
We can deduce that this series of numbers is an Arithmetic Progression (AP),with a common difference,
In conclusion, when kincreases 0.25m, the area to be painted decreases by
-0.0625

(c) Express the area of the concrete structure to be painted in terms ofk. Find
the area when kapproaches the value of 4 and predict the shape of the
concrete structure.
The shape of the concrete structure will be a rectangle with length 4m and
breadth 0.5m, which may look like this:

Reflection
While I conducting the project, I had learned some moralvalues that I practice. This project had taught me toresponsible on the works that are given to me to be
completed. This project also had make me felt moreconfident to do works and not to give up easily when wecould not find the solution for the question. I also learned to
be more discipline on time, which I was given about amonth to complete this project and pass up to my teacher
just in time. I also enjoy doing this project during my school
holiday as I spend my time with friends to complete thisproject and it had tightened our friendship.
