ACTIVITY 1
Mathematics is deeply embedded in the physical properties,
measurements, and proportions of objects, including cups. The
shape of a glass cup can be described using mathematical concepts,
such as its cylindrical shape with a circular base and curved
surface. The dimensions of the cup, such as its height and radius,
can be measured and calculated using mathematical formulas.
The volume and capacity of a glass cup can be determined using
mathematical formulas, such as V = πr^2h, where V is the volume,
r is the radius of the base, and h is the height of the cup.
Measurements of the cup's dimensions, such as height, diameter, or
circumference,
are
essential
for
various
purposes,
such
as
determining the right amount of liquid to pour or ensuring it fits
in a specific space.
Mathematical principles are also used in the study of materials
used in glass cups, such as density, thermal expansion, and
refractive index. These mathematical concepts provide a framework
for
understanding
and
describing
the
physical
properties,
measurements, and proportions of objects, including cups.
