1. Which is longer, a line that passes
through (2,3) and (2,4) or a line that passes through (2,3) and (5,3)?
Answer => Neither,
they are both infinitely long and extend beyond the points indicated because
they are lines, not line segments.
2. Which is larger, the perimeter of a
square plot of land that measures 100 meters on a side, or the circumference
of a circular plot of land that has a diameter of 120 meters?
Answer => The square's
perimeter is 400 meters, which is larger than the circle's circumference
of 377 meters.
3.
A typical picture frame has four 90o angles. Each piece of the
frame is cut with a miter cut at a 45o angle to produce the
typical picture frame corner. What angle would I use for the miter cut
if I wanted to make a pentagonal frame with equal sides and angles?
Answer => 54o:
The sum of the interior angles is (n - 2) * 180o or 540o,
giving each internal angle a measurement of 108o.
4.
What is the area of the isosceles triangle to the right if its two legs
measure 13m and 17m?
Answer => 102.1 square
meters
5. CoolTreats sells an ice cream cone (sugar
cone) that has an inside diameter of 2 inches and an inside altitude of
4 inches. They want to know the diameter of a spherical scoop of ice cream
that will melt to exactly fill the cone (assuming no change in volume when
melting.) Find the diameter of that sphere.
Answer => 2 inches
6. There are two pulleys connected with
a belt. The larger pulley has a radius of 8 inches, and the smaller has
a radius of 2 inches. If the smaller pulley rotates at 100 revolutions
per minute, determine the revolutions per minute of the larger pulley.
