1X5/3 the whole numbers lie between 1 and 8
Note that x is the hypotenuse of a right triangle. Applying the Pyth. Thm.,
x^2 = 2^2 + 6^2, or x^2 = 4 + 36 = 40.
Thus, the hypotenuse is +sqrt(40), or 2sqrt(10).
Answer:
area is equal to base times height
Wesley will need 10 10-inch stones, and 9 5-inch stones.
Since he wants to begin and end the pattern with 10-inch stones, we put a 10 at the beginning and end.
10 5 10 5 10 5 10 5 10 5 10 5 10 5 10 5 10 5 10
10 x 10-inch = 100 inches
9 x 5-inch = 45 inches
100 + 45 = 145 inches
