Geometry Project
You are to design a stain glass window using all of the shapes that we have
discussed to this point class. Below you will find a list of the acceptable shapes and
formulas for this project.
Consequently, the goal is to create a unique, personal stained glass window,
calculate the area of each section, assign a specific color to each section and determine
the cost of creating this work of art.
This window is to be installed on the wall of your house, or on a favorite building
that your family has just built and has donated to the “Anderson’s World of
Mathematics” research and development department here at CRHS…COST IS NO
OBJECT. However, you do need to determine the cost for estimating the cost of the
window.
The window you are creating will be at a scale of 1 inch = 1 foot so you will have
to convert your square inches to square feet of material once you have completed your
calculations.
Requirements
 A sketch of your original design does not have to be with a ruler or to scale, just
the beginnings of your creation. You may include several preliminary sketches of
initials ideas as well.

A “blueprint” this is probably the most accurate drawing. It could include
dimensions, section descriptions, labels, or any other pertinent information. Please
fill out blueprint on paper provided.

A finished project or “model” of your window. This could be simply be a copy of
the blueprint, now colored in, showing what the window would look like when
completed in the window on the next page.

Area calculations. From the labeled sections off the blueprint, you can now show
how you calculated the area of that shape or part of the window…Be sure to
convert areas to square feet. (Proper Scale)

The total cost of the stained glass window based on the price of each color, shown
on the next page and all work is shown.
Shapes that can be used:
A = s2
A = bh
A = bh
A =(1/2)bh

A  (b1  b2 )h
