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.

(3x2 + 10x + 3) by (x + 3)​
Nata [24]
Explanation: 3 x 2 + 10 x + 3 We can Split the Middle Term of this expression to factorise it. In this technique, if we have to factorise an expression like a x 2 + b x + c , we need to think of 2 numbers such that: N 1 ⋅ N 2 = a ⋅ c = 3 ⋅ 3 = 9 and, N 1 + N 2 = b = 10 After trying out a few numbers we get: N 1 = 9 and N 2 = 1 9 ⋅ 1 = 9 , and 9 + ( 1 ) = 10 3 x 2 + 10 x + 3 = 3 x 2 + 9 x + 1 x + 3 = 3 x ( x + 3 ) + 1 ( x + 3 ) ( 3 x + 1 ) ( x + 3 ) is the factorised form for the expression.

The length of a rectangle is 10 more than the width. If the
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

Dimensions : L = 12 inches, Width = 2 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let width be w

Let length be w + 10

Area = length x width

24 = w x (w + 10)

24 = w^2 + 10w\\\\w^2 + 10w - 24 = 0\\\\w^2 +12w -2w -24 = 0\\\\w(w+12) -2(w+12) = 0\\(w-2)(w+12)=0 \\w = 2 , -12

Since width is a side of a rectangle , it cannot be negative. so w = 2 inches .

Therefore , length = w + 10 = 12inches
