Which is the best strategy to use to solve this problem? Sophie wants to make a large rectangular sign that has an area of 60 sq

uare feet. She wants to put a border around the sign, but she wants to use as little border material as possible. What are the dimensions Sophie should use for this sign?
A. Write a number sentence. Use a number sentence to calculate the area of a rectangle. Use guess and check to find two numbers that when multiplied will give a product of 60.

B. Make a list. Create a list of all possible whole-number combinations of length and width that would equal an area of 60 square feet. Then start calculating the perimeter of each rectangle. Look for a pattern to decrease the number of calculations you have to make.

C. Use objects to model the problem. Arrange 60 square tiles in different patterns that create a rectangular shape. Count the number of tiles on the perimeter of each of the shapes.

Answer: All of the plans could get you to the correct answer. However, being able to write and solve an equation would generally be the fastest. Therefore, I would chose choice A.

In this problem, you are dealing with 2 separate equations. First, you need to find the volume, so A = LW. And you are also dealing with the perimeter formula, P = 2L + 2W.

All you need to do is find option for the area that gives the smallest perimeter.

Timmy writes the equation f(x) = x – 1. He then doubles both of the terms on the right side to create the equation g(x) = x – 2.

The graph lines stay the same, however the y-intercept changes from (-1,0) to (-2,0), since it is now g(x) = x - 2, instead of f(x) = x - 1.

Find the orthocenter of the triangle with the given vertices: L(2, 2), M(-4, 2), N(-2, 6) a (-2, 4) b (3, -5) c (2, -4) d (-3, 5
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

  (a)  (-2, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The orthocenter is the point of concurrence of the altitudes of the triangle.

A plot of the triangle vertices shows the triangle to be acute. That means the orthocenter is inside. This eliminates choices B, C, D, which are all points outside the triangle.

__

Conveniently, side LM is horizontal. This means the orthocenter will have the x-coordinate of the vertical line through N, which is -2. Only one answer choice has an x-coordinate of -2:

  a (-2, 4)
