    This document describes two math lab activities. The first activity is to verify that the sum of the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees. Students will cut out the angles of an acute, right, or obtuse triangle and measure the angles to observe that they sum to 180 degrees. The second activity is to experimentally derive the formula for the volume of a right circular cone by filling a cone with sand and pouring it into a cylinder to see how many times it takes to fill the cylinder. Students observe it takes three fillings to fill the cylinder, showing the volume ratio of cone to cylinder is 1:3.

    Maths Lab Activity

    ACTIVITY 1- TO VERIFY ANGLE SUM PROPERTY OF TRIANGLE

    OBJECTIVE

    To verify that the sum of the angles of a triangle is 180°.

    Materials Required

    1. Geometry box

    2. Scissors

    3. Adhesive

    4. Drawing sheet

    OBJECTIVE

    To verify that the sum of the angles of a triangle is 180°.

    Prerequisite Knowledge

    1. Knowledge of straight angle

    2. Concept of triangle and its properties

    Theory

    Some basic properties of triangles are given below:

    1. The sum of all the angles of a triangle is always 180°.

    2. Angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle are equal.

    3. The sides opposite to equal angles in a triangle are equal.

    4. In a triangle, the angle opposite to longer side is larger and vice-versa.

    5. The sum of two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side.

    6. The exterior opposite angle in a triangle is equal to sum of opposite interior angles.

    Procedure

    1. Take any triangle (acute, obtuse, right angle), let us take an acute-angled
    triangle.
    2. Mark the angles as x°, y°, and z° respectively.
    3. Cut all three angles of the triangle.
    4. Now draw a straight line on a sheet.
    5. As we know that measure of a semi-circle is 180 degrees and hence the sum
    of angles of a triangle is 180 degrees.

    ACTIVITY 2 – SURFACE AREA AND VOLUME


    Objective
    To get the formula for the volume of a right circular cone experimentally.

    Materials Required
    One cone and one cylinder having the same height and base radius, sand.

    Procedure

    1. Fill the cone with sand.

    2. Pour the sand from the cone to the cylinder.

    3. Fill the cone with sand again and pour to the cylinder.

    4. Repeat the same process until the cylinder fills completely with sand.

    Observation and Result


    Students will observe that the cylinder gets filled after pouring the sand three times from cone.
    1 1
    Volume of cone =3 Volume of cylinder =3π2h

    Learning Outcome
    Through this experiment, students will learn the relationship between the volume of a cone and a
    cylinder.
