ACTNOWLEDGEMENT

First of all, I would like to thank my teacher Puan Maimunah @ Asmah

Binti Taib for giving such a beneficial project and for guiding me and my

friends throughout this project.

We did had some difficulties in doing this paperwork ,but teacher had

taught us patiently the right way to do this project and made us realise our

mistakes. Not forgotten my both parents, I am really thankful to them for their

support and encouragement throughout this project and for their advices.

Last but not least, I would like to thank my friends also for their supports

and helps. They had helped me a lot and shared their ideas. Thanks to my

friends once again to spare their time with me to do this project. My friends

deserve a big part of my project.

PART 1


5/19

(a) Collect six such pictures. You may use a camera to take the pictures or get them

from magazines, newspapers, internet or any other resources.

(b) Give the definition of polygon and write a brief history of it.

Definition of polygon

A closed shape consisting of line segments that has at least three sides. Triangles,

quadrilaterals, rectangles, and squares are all types of polygons.

History of polygon

Polygons have been known since ancient times. The regular polygons were known to the

ancient Greeks, and the pentagram, a non-convex regular polygon (star polygon), appears on

the vase of Aristophonus, Caere, dated to the 7th century B.C. Non-convex polygons in general

were not systematically studied until the 14th century by Thomas Bredwardine. In 1952,

Shephard generalized the idea of polygons to the complex plane, where each real dimension is

accompanied by an imaginary one, to create complex polygons.

(c) There are various methods of finding the area of a triangle. State four different

methods.

Method 1:

h

b

If you know base (b) and height (h) of the triangle, the following formula can be applied.

Area = x b x h

Method 2:

a c

b

If you know three sides (a, b and c) of the triangle, Herons Method can be applied.

s = (a+b+c) / 2

Area = s (s-a) (s-b) (s-c)


7/19

Method 3:

a

b

If you know two sides (a and b) and the included angle (), the following formula can be

applied.

Area = x a x b x sin

Method 4:

If you know coordinate of the three vertices, the following formula can be applied.

= (x1y2 + x2y3 + x3y1 x2y1 x3y2 x1y3)


8/19

Method 5:

If you know equation (y=mx+c) of the three lines, integration can be applied.

Area = (mx1 + c) dx + (mx2 + c) dx - (mx3 + c) dx

enclosed area is maximum.

In order for the enclosed area to be maximum, the shape of the triangle must be

equilateral. Therefore, the length of both p and q must be 100m.

(d)

(i) Only certain values ofp and ofq are applicable in this case. State the range of values

ofp and ofq

50 < p

(b) Draw a conclusion from your exploration in (a) if :

i) The demand of herbs in the market has been increasing nowadays. Suggest 3 types of

local herbs with their scientific names that the farmer can plant in the herb garden to

meet the demand. Collect pictures and information of these herbs.

Aloe Vera - The local name is known as 'Lidah Buaya'. Due to its exceptional healing

properties, Aloe Vera is also known as "the little of the desert", "the plant of immortality",

"the first aid plant" and "the miracle plant". It is also one of the most important crude drug

history and is still extensively used in modern medicine. It contains the same painkilling

and anti-inflammatory compound as in Aspirin. Aloe vera is also a nutrient-rich-plant,

containing more than 200 active-components, vitamins, minerals, essential amino acids,enzymes and other plant chemicals which is said to gently strengthen, sustain and

encourage cellular activity in body.

Tongkat Ali - It has become popular for its testosterone-enhancing properties. Because of

that, it is included in certain herbal supplements for bodybuilders. Historically, it has been

used by the folk medicine in its countries of origin as a libido enhancer and to treat various

sexual dysfunctions. Numerous scientific studies performed by Malaysian Universities,

including University Science Malaysia (USM) have confirmed its effects on enhancing

sexual characteristics in animal models. Currently, it is being researched for its possibilities

as an anti-cancer supplement.


18/19

Agrimonia - commonly known as Agrimony. It is not commonly used today, but has its

place in traditional herbal medicine. This herb is safe for use for minor ailments in most

healthy people. Like most herb simples, the uses to which it is put are remarkably varied.

The English use it to make a delicious "spring" or "diet" drink for purifying the blood. It is

considered especially useful as a tonic for aiding recovery from winter colds, fevers, and

diarrhea. Agrimony contains tannin and a volatile essential oil.

ii) These herbs will be processed for marketing by a company. The design of a packaging

plays an important role in attracting customers. The company wishes to design an

innovative and creative logo for the packaging. You are given the task of designing a

logo to promote the product. Draw the logo on a piece of size A4. You must include at

least one polygon shape in the logo.
