-- The smallest perimeter you can make with a certain area
is a circle.
-- The NEXT smallest perimeter with the same area is a square.
With 1-ft by 1-ft square bricks, the shortest perimeter she could
make would be by using her bricks to make it as square as possible.
Without cutting bricks into pieces, the best she could do would be
(13 bricks) x (3 bricks) .
= (13-ft) x (3-ft)
Perimeter = (2 x length) + (2 x width)
= (2 x 13-ft) + (2 x 3-ft)
= (26-ft) + (6-ft) = 32 feet <== shortest perimeter.
-- Then, the more UNSQUARE you make it, the more perimeter
it takes to enclose the same area. That means Mary has to make
a rectangle as long and skinny as she can.
The longest perimeter she can make (without cutting bricks into
pieces) is (39 bricks) x (1 brick) .
= (39-ft) x (1-ft) .
Perimeter = (2 x length) + (2 x width)
= (2 x 39-ft) + (2 x 1-ft)
= (78-ft) + (2-ft) = 80 feet .
What she'll have then is a brick path, 39 feet long and 1 foot wide,
and when you walk on it, you'll need to try hard to avoid falling off
because it's only 1 foot wide.
Answer: A conclusion you reach using inductive reasoning is called conjecture.
Step-by-step explanation: Examining several specific situations to arrive at a conjecture is called inductive reasoning.
Start with 1.
1st number = 1
2nd number = 1 * 4 + 3 = 7
3rd number = 7 * 4 + 3 = 31
4th = 31 * 4 + 3 = 127
5th = 127 * 4 + 3 = 511
Which means the 6th = 511 * 4 + 3, which is 2047.
Your classmate's error about AB and DC being complimentary and parallel is that they misapplied the alternate angle property.
<h3>Why are AB and DC not parallel?</h3><h3 />
There isn't enough evidence presented in the diagram to say that AB and DC are parallel.
The evidence required would be proof that angle AWZ is equal to angle WZY.
Instead, all we have is that angle AWZ and angle XYC are equal which does not tell us what we need to know about AB and DC being parallel.
