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.

Answer:

A. x²+x-11

Step-by-step explanation:

Take one of the x values and try them out on all formulas to see if the expected output occurs.

Already with x=2 you get

-5, 28, -3, 27 so you know that only the first formula works.

write the equation of the line (in slope-intercept form) that passes through the points (2,3 and (5,7)
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

The answer to your question is    y = 4/3x + 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Point A = (2, 3)

Point B = (5, 7)

Process

1.- Calculate the slope

x1 = 2    y1 = 3

x2 = 5    y2 = 7

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

- Substitution

  m = (7 - 3)/(5 - 2)

- Slope

  m = 4/3

2.- Find the equation of the line

     y - y1 = m(x - x1)

     y - 3 = 4/3(x - 2)

     y - 3 = 4/3x - 8/3

     y = 4/3x - 8/3 + 3

     y = 4/3x - 8/3 + 9/3

     y = 4/3x + 1/3
