Chapter 16, Problem 1ICA

Your instructor will provide you with a picture of a structure created using K’Nex™ pieces. Describe the steps necessary to create the structure in the picture. When you are finished, hand your algorithm to the instructor and wait for further instruction.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

Develop algorithm to create the structure of K’Nex pieces in the picture.

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

The knowns, unknowns and assumptions of the above mentioned problem, that is, to construct the K’Nex structure.

Knowns:

  • Structure of K’Nex available in pictorial format.
  • Information about different pieces of K’Nex.
  • Amount of K’Nex pieces needed for the structure.

Unknowns:

  • Steps to construct the K’Nex structure.

Assumptions:

  • The structure made from K’Nex components.

Algorithm:

  • Observe the K’Nex structure’s picture carefully.
  • List the components needed to construct the structure conveniently.
  • Gather the pieces required for the structure.
  • For any other pieces required follow the Master Material List for the purchasing information.
  • Store the pieces collected for the structure in a Ziploc quart-size freezer bags.
  • Construct the structure according to the picture provided.
  • Start building the structure step by step for better clarification and accuracy.
  • Compare the structure made with the provided picture for reduction of errors.

Conclusion:

Thus, the algorithm to create the structure of K’Nex pieces in the picture is discussed above.
