A young dad, who was a star football player in college, set up a miniature football field for his five-year-old young daughter, who was already displaying an unusual talent for place-kicking. At each end of the mini-field, he set up goal posts so she could practice kicking extra points and field goals. He was very careful to ensure the goalposts were each straight up and down and that the crossbars were level. On each set, the crossbar was six feet long, and a string from the top of each goalpost to the midpoint between them on the ground measured five feet. How tall were the goalposts? How do you know this to be true? The center of each crossbar is 3 feet from each goalpost. We get this by taking half of 6, since midpoint means halfway. Imagine a third post midway between the two goal posts. It has the same height as the two goalposts. From the center post, the string from the top of a goalpost to the base of the center post, and half the crossbar form and right triangle with hypotenuse 5 feet and one leg 3 feet. [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/pythag.php?side1input=&side2input=3&hypinput=5&pl=Solve+Missing+Side']Using the Pythagorean Theorem[/URL], the other leg -- the height of each post -- is 4 feet.

DeAndre is a spelunker (someone who explores caves). One day DeAndre is exploring a cave that has a series of ladders going down into the depths. Every ladder is exactly 10 feet tall, and there is no other way to descend or ascend (the other paths in the cave are flat). DeAndre starts at 186 feet in altitude, and reaches a maximum depth of 86 feet in altitude.Write an equation for DeAndre's altitude, using x to represent the number of ladders DeAndre used (hint: a ladder takes DeAndre down in altitude, so the coefficient should be negative). Set up a function A(x) for altitude, where x is the number of ladders used. Each ladder takes DeAndre down 10 feet, so this would be -10x. And DeAndre starts at 186 feet, so we'd have: [B]A(x) = 186 - 10x[/B]

Laura found a roll of fencing in her garage. She couldn't decide whether to fence in a square garden or a round garden with the fencing. Laura did some calculations and found that a circular garden would give her 1380 more square feet than a square garden. How many feet of fencing were in the roll that Laura found? (Round to the nearest foot.) Feet of fencing = n Perimeter of square garden = n Each side of square = n/4 Square garden's area = (n/4)^2 = n^2/16 Area of circle garden with circumference = n is: Circumference = pi * d n = pi * d Divide body tissues by pi: d = n/pi Radius = n/2pi Area = pi * n/2pi * n/2pi Area = pin^2/4pi^2 Reduce by canceling pi: n^2/4pi n^2/4 * 3.14 n^2/12.56 The problem says that the difference between the square's area and the circle's area is equal to 1380 square feet. Area of Circle - Area of Square = 1380 n^2/12.56 - n^2/16 = 1380 Common denominator = 200.96 (16n^2 - 12.56n^2)/200.96 = 1380 3.44n^2/200.96 = 1380 Cross multiply: 3.44n^2 = 277,324.8 n^2 = 80,617.7 n = 283.9 Nearest foot = [B]284[/B]
