Dakota’s parents are creating her practice ballet studio and want to install baseboards around the perimeter of the rectangular

room with sides measuring 13 feet 8 inches and 12 feet 3 inches.
1. Estimate the perimeter of the room and explain how you got the estimate.


2. Write the dimensions of the room as mixed numbers. Remember 1 foot = 12 inches. What does the fractional part of each mixed number represent?


3. Find the perimeter of the room. Show your work.


4. How does your result from part 3 compare to your estimate in part 1?


5. The baseboard will not go across the doorway of the room which is 2 ¼ feet wide.
a. Taking into account the doorway, calculate the new length of baseboard needed for the room.



b. The hardware store sells the baseboards in 8 foot lengths. How many boards need to be purchased to install new baseboards in the room?

1. When you estimate, it is not an exact measurement. 3ft 8 in gets rounded to 4ft and 12 ft 3 in rounds to 12ft. now find the perimeter. P=2l+2w P= 2*12 +2*4 P=32feet

2. 3ft 8in = 3 8/12 or reduced to 3 2/3  12ft 3in = 12 3/12 or reduced to 12 1/4   The fractional part is referring to a fraction of a foot.

3. The perimeter of the room is P=2l+2w or P=2(12 1/4) + 2(3 2/3) p=24 1/2 + 7 1/3  P= 31 5/6 feet

4. The estimate and the actual are very close. They are 1/6 of a foot apart.

5a. Total baseboard 31 5/6ft - 2 1/4 ft = 29 7/12 feet needed.

5b. Take the total and divide it by 8ft  = 29 7/12 divided by 8= 3.7  You are not buying a fraction of a board so you would need 4 boards.

Line bc is represented by 3x+2y=8 line ad is represented by -3x-2y=6 what is the relationship of line bc to line ad explain the
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a straight line is given by:

y = mx + b

where m is the slope of the line and b is the y intercept (value of y when x = 0).

Given the equation of two lines as y=m_1x+b_1\ and\ y=m_2x+b_2, the two lines are parallel to each other if m_1=m_2. Also the lines are perpendicular if

m_1m_2=-1

Given line BC:

3x + 2y = 8

2y = -3x + 8

y = -3x/2 + 4

Hence the slope of the line BC = -3/2

For line AD:

-3x - 2y = 6

-2y =3x + 6

y = -3x/2 - 3

Hence the slope of line AD is -3/2

Since both line BC and AD have equal slope (-3/2), hence both lines are parallel to each other

What is the surface area of this design?
Murrr4er [49]
The correct answer is C or 197in squared because the back and top sides are 25. so that is 50. Then the sides are 35. so that is 70. and the front is 32. The bottom is 45. So, 50+70+32+45 is 197in squared.

Which linear function has the greatest y-intercept? y = 6 x + 1 On a coordinate plane, a line goes through points (0, 2) and (5,
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

y = 6x + 1 (0,2) (5,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Really just need to pay attention where the x coordinate is at. If at 0, and the y coordinate is elsewhere, you will be able to tell where the y intercept is. Usually, you quickly draw a graph if the numbers are more complex.
