INTRODUCTION
There are a lot of things around us related to circles or parts of a circle. A circle is a simple shape of Euclidean geometry consisting of those points in a plane which is the same distance from a given point called the centre. The common distance of the points of a circle from its center is called its radius. Circles are simple closed curves which divide the plane into two regions, an interior and an exterior. In everyday use, the term "circle" may be used interchangeably to refer to either the boundary of the figure (known as the perimeter) or to the whole figure including its interior. However, in strict technical usage, "circle" refers to the perimeter while the interior of the circle is called a disk. The circumference of a circle is the perimeter of the circle (especially when referring to its length). A circle is a special ellipse in which the two foci are coincident. Circles are conic sections attained when a right circular cone is intersected with a plane perpendicular to the axis of the cone. The circle has been known since before the beginning of recorded history. It is the basis for the wheel, which, with related inventions such as gears, makes much of modern civilization possible. In mathematics, the study of the circle has helped inspire the development of geometry and calculus. Circles had been used in daily lives to help people in their living.
system to illustrate proofs and to obtain information using algebraic equations. The next great development in geometry came with the development of non-Euclidean geometry. Carl Friedrich Gauss (1 777 1 855 BC) who along with Archimedes and Newton is considered to be one of the three greatest mathematicians of all time, invented non-Euclidian geometry prior to the independent work of Janos Bolyai (1 802 1 860 BC) and Nikolai Lobachevski (1792 1 856 BC). Non-Euclidian geometry generally refers to any geometry not based on the postulates of Euclid, including geometries for which the parallel postulate is not satisfied. The parallel postulate states that through a given point not on a line, there is one and only one line parallel to that line. Non-Euclidian geometry provides the mathematical foundation for Einsteins Theory of Relativity. The most recent development in geometry is fractal geometry. Fractal geometry was developed and popularized by Benoit Mandelbrot in his 1982book The Fractal Geometry of Nature. A fractal is a geometric shape, which is self-similar (invariance under a change of scale) and has fractional (fractal) dimensions. Similar to chaos theory, which is the study of non-linear systems; fractals are highly sensitive to initial conditions where a small change in the initial conditions of a system can lead to dramatically different outputs for that system.

Answer for Question 2(b)(i) The range of heights not suitable for the cake is h .
This is because the diameter of the cakes would be too large to fit in the oven. Also, the cake would be too wide and unattractive.
Answer for Question 2(b)(ii) The dimension that I think is most suitable for the cake is h = 11 cm and d = 46.89293 cm. This is because the cake is able to fit in the oven. A cake that is too tall or too high may be easily burnt.

Conclusion for Question 3(c) The three suggested shape are cuboid shape cake, triangular-based cake and pentagonal-based cake. The volume of cream required for cuboid shaped cake = 3229.4456 cm3. The volume of cream required for a triangular based cake is 2790.1604 cm3. The volume of cream required for a pentagonal-based cake is 2556.314 cm3. Therefore, from the values, the pentagonal-based cake requires the least amount of fresh cream to be used, which is only 2556.314 cm3.

According to the table above, the minimum volume of cream used is 3303.66 cm3 when h = 18cm. When h = 18cm, r = 18.3 cm

I would bake a cake of such dimensions because the cake would not be too large for the cutting or eating of said cake, and it would not be too big to bake in a conventional oven. * The above conjecture is proven by the following When r = 10, ~ the total surface area of the cake is 4114.2 c ~ the amount of fresh cream needed to decorate the cake is 4381.2 c ~ the ratio of total surface area of cake to amount of fresh cream needed is 0.94 When r = 20, ~ the total surface area of the cake is 3156.8 c ~ the amount of fresh cream needed to decorate the cake is 3308.5 c

~ the ratio of total surface area of cake to amount of fresh cream needed is 0.94 Therefore, the above conjecture is proven to be true.

CONCLUSION
After doing research, answering questions, drawing graphs, and some problem solving, I saw that the usage of geometry, calculus and progressions are important in daily life.
Geometry is the study of angles and triangles, perimeter, area and volume. It differs from algebra in that one develops a logical structure where mathematical relationships are proved and applied.
A geometric progression (GP), also known as a geometric sequence, is a sequence of numbers where each term after the first is found by multiplying the previous one by a fixed non-zero number called the common ratio.
Differentiation is essentially the process of finding an equation which will give you the gradient (slope, "rise over run", etc.) at any point along the curve. Say you have y = x^2.The equation y' = 2x will give you the gradient of y at any point along that curve. As the conclusion, geometry, calculus and progressions are part of our necessities. Thus, we should be thankful of the people who contribute in the idea of geometry, calculus and progressions because without them, we cant done the multistorey cake, and its hard to find out the volume of ingredients needed for the cake.

REFLECTION
I have done many researches throughout the internet and discussing with friends who have helped me a lot in completing this project. Through the completion of this project, I have learned many skills and techniques. This project really helps me to understand more about the uses of progressions in our daily life. This project also helped expose the techniques of application of additional mathematics in real life situations. While conducting this project, I found a lot of information. I have learnt how to bake a wedding tiered cake stands with good quality and proper height. Apart from that, this project encourages the student to work together and share their knowledge. It is also encourage student to gather information from the internet, improve thinking skills and promote effective mathematical communication. Last but not least, I proposed this project should be continue because it brings a lot of moral values to the student and also test the students understanding in Additional Mathematics.

First of all, I would like to say Alhamdulillah, for giving me the strength and health to do this project work. Not forgotten my parents for providing everything, such as money, to buy anything that are related to this project work and their advise, which is the most needed for this project for internet, books, computers and all that. They also supported me and encouraged me tocomplete this task so that I will not procrastinate in doing it. Then I would like to thank my teacher, Mr Farhan for guiding me and my friends throughout this project. We had some difficulties in doing this task, but he taught us patiently until we knew what to do. He tried and tried to teach us until we understand what we supposed to do with the project work. Last but not least, my friends who were doing this project with me and sharing our ideas. They were helpful that when we combined and discussed together, we had this task done
