a)

b) Polygon is defined as a closed,2-dimensional shape made up of three or more straight line segments connected end to end to end. 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 plan, where each real dimension is accompanied by an imaginary one, to create complex polygons. c) The four different methods of finding the area of a triangle is stated below. Method 1

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

Method 2

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

Method 3

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)

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

FUTHER EXPLORATION
a) (i)3 Suggested types of herb

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.

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.

Additional Mathematics Project Work 1 2012

Name : Fung Yee Vun Class : 5 Akrab I/C number : 951009-01-7102 School : SMK Dusun Nanding Teacher : Puan Rosnah

First and foremost , I would to thank God that finally, I have succeeded in finishing this project work. I would like to thank my beloved Additional Mathematics teacher, Pn. Rosnah all the guidance she had provided me during the process in finishing this project work. I also appreciate her patience in guiding me completing this project wirk . I would like to give a thousand thanks to my father and mother, Fung Wei Fah and Lim Nyuk Moi, for giving me their full support in this project work,financially and mentally. They gave me moral support when I needed it. Who am I without their love and support? I would also like to give my thanks to my fellow friends who had helped me in finding the information that Im clueless of, and the time we spent together in study groups on finishing this project work . Last but not least , I woula like to express my highest gratitude to all those who gave me the possibility to complete this coursework. I really appreciate all the help I got. Again,thank you very much.

Reflection
While I conducting this project , a lot of information that I found . I have learnt the uses of polygons. I also learned some moral values that I practice. This project had taught me to be responsible on the works that are given to me to completed. This project also made me felt more confidence to do works and not to give up easily when we could not find the solution for the question. I also learned to be more discipline on time,which I was given about two weeks to complete these project and pass up to my teacher just in time. I also enjoyed doing this project during my school holiday as I spent my time with freiends to complete this project and it had tighten our friendship.
