Investigating Structures In this investigation I will be looking at different joints used in building different sized cube shaped structures. I have found that there are four different types of joint: 3-joint 4-joint 5-joint 6-joint The aim of my investigation is to be able to use the length of the cube's edge (n) to find out the number of each different joint in that cube. I have taken n to be the number of rods on a cube's edge. I will start my investigation by drawing simple cube structures on isometric paper. I will draw four structures. A 1 x 1 x 1 cube, a 2 x 2 x 2 cube, a 3 x 3 x 3 cube and a 4 x 4 x 4 cube. These are shown on the isometric paper included. After looking at each I will count the number of each type of joint in each cube, and put my results in a...
