Geometry
Directions: Mini golf courses are similar to putting areas on a regular golf
course except they usually have oddly shaped greens (made of green felt rather
than grass) and obstacles made of stone, water, windmills, dinosaurs, or just
about anything else imaginable. In the UK it is know as ‘crazy golf’ due to the
wacky shapes and obstacles.
Below is a sketch of one hole at a mini golf course. The scale for the sketch is
1 unit on the grid = 1 foot.
You will be preparing a budget for construction of this mini golf course hole.
The price list for the required materials:
Wall Material (required all the way around the hole)
Green Felt (covers region inside walls)
Obstacles
Cup (where the ball goes at the end)
$14.50 per foot
$36.90 per square yard
$185.10 each
$48.50
Your budget should include the total cost for each materials and an explanation of how you determined the
total. Your explanation should include necessary computations, sketches, formulas, and notes.
