Algebra & Geometry Resources for the TN-Nspire
This presentation on the Titanic comes from the Geometry Applications: Area and Volume and includes algebra and geometry connections.

This illustration gives a sense of the size and scale of the Titanic.
![Page 7: NCTM 2012 Presentation 3](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062615/5482f619b079591f0c8b48d5/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Algebra & Geometry Resources for the TN-Nspire
To better understand how a ship of this size can float, we explore the concept of density.
![Page 8: NCTM 2012 Presentation 3](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062615/5482f619b079591f0c8b48d5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Algebra & Geometry Resources for the TN-Nspire
By definition the density of water is 1 (in units of gm/cm3). A density less than 1 causes an object to float; greater than 1 and the object sinks.
![Page 9: NCTM 2012 Presentation 3](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062615/5482f619b079591f0c8b48d5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Algebra & Geometry Resources for the TN-Nspire
As a simple example, look at a cube of length s and mass M. Its density is M/s3.
![Page 10: NCTM 2012 Presentation 3](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062615/5482f619b079591f0c8b48d5/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Algebra & Geometry Resources for the TN-Nspire
This is a rational function. Given different values of M, the cube will float based on where its graph is relative to y = 1, the red line.

Algebra & Geometry Resources for the TN-Nspire
We can estimate the volume of the Titanic by looking at the shape of the hull and main body of the ship.

A triangular prism provides a reasonable estimate of this folume.
![Page 13: NCTM 2012 Presentation 3](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062615/5482f619b079591f0c8b48d5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

This is the net for a triangular prism.

Algebra & Geometry Resources for the TN-Nspire
Given the dimensions shown, the volume of the triangular prism is found using this formula.
![Page 15: NCTM 2012 Presentation 3](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062615/5482f619b079591f0c8b48d5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Algebra & Geometry Resources for the TN-Nspire
These are the dimensions for the Titanic. The linear dimensions are for the “rectancular prism” section and the displacement is the mass of the ship.
![Page 16: NCTM 2012 Presentation 3](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062615/5482f619b079591f0c8b48d5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Algebra & Geometry Resources for the TN-Nspire
On the Nspire, create a Calculator Window and assign the values for mass to a variable called “mass.”
![Page 17: NCTM 2012 Presentation 3](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062615/5482f619b079591f0c8b48d5/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Algebra & Geometry Resources for the TN-Nspire
Make sure the units for mass are are gm. You can operate on the “mass” variable and reassign the result to the same variable.
![Page 18: NCTM 2012 Presentation 3](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062615/5482f619b079591f0c8b48d5/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Algebra & Geometry Resources for the TN-Nspire
Create a “volume” variable and calculate the volume of the triangular prism. Then calculate the density.
![Page 19: NCTM 2012 Presentation 3](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062615/5482f619b079591f0c8b48d5/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Algebra & Geometry Resources for the TN-Nspire
The estimated density of the Titanic is less than 1 (and probably a bit higher due to the triangular prism volume).
![Page 20: NCTM 2012 Presentation 3](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062615/5482f619b079591f0c8b48d5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

When the Titanic struck the iceberg a number of punctures caused water to flow into the hull.
![Page 21: NCTM 2012 Presentation 3](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062615/5482f619b079591f0c8b48d5/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Algebra & Geometry Resources for the TN-Nspire
When a ship takes on water, the loss in volume is immediately converted to mass. This leads to a quick increase in density.
![Page 22: NCTM 2012 Presentation 3](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062615/5482f619b079591f0c8b48d5/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Algebra & Geometry Resources for the TN-Nspire
This density expression shows that as the volume decreases, the mass increases. The variable x is the percent of volume lost.
![Page 23: NCTM 2012 Presentation 3](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062615/5482f619b079591f0c8b48d5/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

This graph shows that when about 58% of the hull is filled with water, it will sink. But this overestimates the volume of the hull.
![Page 24: NCTM 2012 Presentation 3](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062615/5482f619b079591f0c8b48d5/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Algebra & Geometry Resources for the TN-Nspire
This graph scales the volume down and gets us to a more accurate estimate of when the ship will sink.

The Titanic had 16 watertight compartments. When it struck the iceberg, 5 (possibly 6) of them were punctured.
