Geometry Renovation Project



Flip this House

As an adult you will be faced with a multitude of opportunities to use the formulas and mathematical calculations presented to you during the course of geometry. Whether in your professional or personal life, surface area and volume are concepts that you will use over and over again. The purpose of this project is to provide you with a practical application of the formulas and calculations associated with surface area and volume.

You just bought a house for $180,000!

The floor plan of your house (single level, ranch-style home) is included.

You plan on re-modeling the house, and then selling it for a profit.

This is called “flipping a house.”

You will be estimating and totaling your renovation costs to determine the price you should list the house for sale in order to achieve a 20% profit.

Your final project should be in a report cover and you must include the following:

1. Printed title page. Include your name, class, class period, and date.

2. Each renovation should have its own separate sheet of paper(s). Show all formulas used and all mathematical calculations. ALL work must be shown neatly and orderly. You can handwrite all calculations. Credit will not be awarded for correct answers not supported by correct formulas and calculations. LABEL each page at the top with the correct renovation title (i.e. carpet, concrete, tile…)

3. Write a brief description and show the summation of all the work put into the house. Title this page “Summation.” Add it all up to determine how much this house has cost you altogether (including the original purchase price of $180,000). Show all your work and calculations for total cost.

4. Title the final page “Selling my House.” Your goal is to earn a 20% profit on the sale of this home. Determine the price at which you need to sell this house to reach your desired profit. Show all your work and calculations. Once you’ve determined how much you need to sell this house, determine the price at which you will list your house. Houses in your area normally sell for 5% below the asking price. For example, if you list your home for $100,000, you will most likely sell it for $95,000. Show all your work and calculations.

Due Date: Thursday June 11, 2015

House Specifications

Refer to the house floor plan. Dimensions on the floor plan are horizontal by vertical. All rooms are 8 feet high, except the living room which has a ceiling height of 10 feet. Do not compute cost per room, instead compute cost per renovation, rounding only at the end. Remember that you cannot buy fractional parts of cans of paint, bags of topsoil, or rolls of wallpaper. Carpet, flooring, and concrete must be purchased to the nearest whole unit.
