Analytic Geometry Final Exam Project

House Plans Project

What exactly goes into building a house? What determines the price and structure? Believe it or not, a lot of

math is involved in the construction and cost of a house! Using your prior knowledge of area and perimeter,

you should be able to get a rough estimate of the price of a home that you create.

Through this project, you will understand how what we’ve learned in class relates to the real-world and

everyday life. You will not only use geometry concepts, but also other topics like accounting, engineering, art,

and technology. You will specifically address how to budget and manage the costs associated with

constructing a floor plan of a house that could be built, as well as to make construction and monetary

calculations based on your design.

Objective: You and your team are designing your dream house with floor plans and area calculations. You will

present your final project to the class.

Your house must meet the following requirements:

House must be between 1800 and 3000 square feet.

At least 3 bedrooms

At least 2 bathrooms

Must have a kitchen

Must have a dining area

Must have at least one living room

Part 1: You must first come up with a rough sketch of your house. This sketch must include measurements

but does not have to be drawn to scale. Rooms must be clearly labeled with measurements. Complete the

table with the area calculation of each space (bedroom, bathroom, closet, garage, kitchen, hallways, etc) in

your home.

Part 2: You will create, from your rough sketch, a well-planned, scaled and labeled drawing. Each room must

be labeled with correct calculations. The scale will be 1 cm = 2 feet or 1 inch = 5 feet.

Part 3: Find the probability that a point chosen randomly inside the house is in each area of the house.

Round to the nearest hundredth. All dimension in feet.

Part 4: Your drawing from Part 2 will be transferred to a poster board. You will also be required to price your

house based on the fact that it costs, on average, $125 per square foot to build a house. When finding the

cost of your house you must include detailed calculations.

Room Area $

Part 5: To earn a bigger profit for the house, you will have to finance the interior design. You will paint all the

walls, decide on the interior settings, like tile in kitchen and bathrooms, and decide on the type of flooring.

The home depot company has won the bid on your house. You will need to visit www.homedepot.com to

calculate the cost of the paint, flooring, bathroom tiles, and kitchen tiles and counter tops. From your interior

design cost, on average, you will be able to add 58% of the cost to the amount of what you spent on the

interior design. What is the new cost of your house? When finding the cost of the interior design you must

include detailed calculation.
