Geo+Monsters

=//Geo Monsters//=

We are going to build two-dimensional "monsters" using various geometric shapes constructed using regular construction paper, scissors, and glue. While creating your monster, write down the dimensions of each body part or equivalent mathematical formulas needed to create that shape. Remember that a circle can be described mathematically by its diameter, radius, area, even its circumference.. and a square can be described by a side, its area or even its diagonal. While assembling the monster, describe in detail how to place the pieces together. Your set of instructions will then be given to someone to build the monster without seeing the original creation. //How close will they get//?

Geo Monster requirements:

 * 1) All monsters must have at least one head.
 * 2) All monsters must have at least two appendages (arms, legs, antlers, antennae ...).
 * 3) All monsters must have a body.
 * 4) All monsters must have some type of "face".
 * 5) Monsters may have no more than 20 "parts" (one eye counts as one part).
