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.

Enter values for a and b, so that the system of equation shown has one solution y=3x+4 and y=ax+b a=? b=?
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

a = 3 and b = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Independent Equations

Lines intersect

One solution

In this case the two equations describe lines that intersect at one particular point. Clearly this point is on both lines, and therefore its coordinates (x, y) will satisfy the equation of either line. Thus the pair (x, y) is the one and only solution to the system of equations. One solution is called "consistent". This shows two distinct non-parallel lines that cross at exactly one point. This is called an "independent" system of equations, and the solution is always some x, y-point.
