options: Apply geometric methods to solve design problems (e.g., designing an object or structure to satisfy physical constraints or minimize cost; working with typographic grid systems based on ratios).

Use geometric shapes, their measures, and their properties to describe objects (e.g., modeling a tree trunk or a human torso as a cylinder).

Apply concepts of density based on area and volume in modeling situations (e.g., persons per square mile, BTUs per cubic foot).
problem_activity: Task
About how thick is a soda can?
Explain which measurements you will need to take as well as extra information that you may need in order to estimate the thickness of a soda can. You may assume that the can is made of aluminum. Because of the risk of injury, cutting the can and directly measuring its thickness is not permitted.
