Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related GEO.181 State assumptions and interpret limitations of a model skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A drainage ditch cross-section is modeled as an isosceles trapezoid to estimate how much water it can carry. After construction, one side is steeper and the bottom is rounded. Which assumption and limitation are best?

AThe model assumes the ditch has no width; the rounded bottom makes the capacity exact.

BThe model assumes all ditches are circular pipes; a trapezoid cannot have area.

CThe model assumes water has no volume, so side slopes do not matter.

DThe model assumes straight equal side slopes and a flat bottom; the changed shape can alter cross-sectional area and flow capacity.

Solution & Explanation:A trapezoid cross-section has straight sides and a flat base in the model. Unequal slopes or a rounded bottom change the cross-sectional area, so the capacity estimate may be off.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

An irregular pond boundary is approximated by connecting six measured points with straight segments. Which revision best addresses the main assumption?

AUse fewer points so the model is simpler and always more accurate.

BIgnore the boundary and use only the pond's depth.

CMeasure more boundary points and use shorter segments so the polygon follows the curved edge more closely.

DChange all distances to inches without adding measurements.

Solution & Explanation:A polygon approximation assumes the boundary is straight between measured points. More points and shorter segments reduce the error along a curved boundary.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A line through the origin is used to model the area of a square from its side length. Data include side lengths 2, 4, 6, and 8. Which limitation is most important?

AThe line is exact because every square has a side length.

BThe line assumes area increases at a constant rate with side length, but square area follows A = s².

CThe line assumes the square has five sides.

DThe line uses the correct units because side length and area are both linear units.

Solution & Explanation:Square area is quadratic in side length. A line might approximate a small interval, but it does not represent the true geometry across side lengths.
