How Do You Make A Paper Geodesic Dome?
Building a geodesic dome out of paper is a lesson in art and geometry. You can make a geodesic dome by using two different types of triangles: equilateral and isosceles. An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length, and all three angles are the same. An isosceles triangle has the same length on two sides, and only the angles that make up the left and right sides of the base are the same. Measure and draw an equilateral triangle with all three sides 15.45 cm in length. Draw lines parallel to each side, 1 cm away from the triangle. These will be the glue tabs. Cut out this triangle and trace around it to make and cut out nine more. Measure and draw an isosceles triangle with a bottom side measuring 15.45 cm in length and the two sides measuring 13.66 cm in length. As before, draw parallel lines to indicate the glue tabs, 1 cm from the triangle. Cut this triangle out and trace around it to make and cut out 29 more. Fold the tabs around each triangle. Make sure to use a sharp be
