Geometric Constraints Reflection

1). We used triangles, since those were the most stable, and a hexagon base, which would be strong and large.
2). Acute/obtuse angles resulted from the triangles formed.
3). Excluding the base, the overall SA of the exterior would be 28.25 inches. I would use 28.25 inches of wood as my material.
4). The overall SA of the interior would be 44.49 inches. If each person were the size of a gumdrop, then approximately 30 people could fit inside the shelter.
5). We were only given 30 toothpicks and 12 gum drops, so we had to make our shelter smaller.
6). We designed the shelter to be very secure, and as such the design turned out incredibly stable.
