The ceiling of Katie’s living room is a square that is 15 ft long on each side. To decorate for a party, she plans to hang crepe

paper around the perimeter of the ceiling and then from each corner to the opposite corner. Katie can buy rolls that each contain 20 ft of crepe paper. What is the minimum number of rolls she should buy? Show your work.

I think that 3 rolls is wrong and that 6 rolls is right. If you create a 15 by 15 square and draw two lines through the center that connect to the opposite corner, you'll be able to use the Pythagorean Theorem.


Perimeter: 15+15+15+15=60ft.


Length of Line from Corner to Corner:

(15)(15)+(15)(15)=C^2

225+225=C^2

450=C^2

21.2=C

21.2(2)= 42.4ft.

42.4ft.+60ft.= 102.4ft.

102.4ft. divided by 20ft. = 5.12 = <u>6 rolls</u>

How many times greater was the temperature in Miami (45) than the lowest in San Diego (25)
Greeley [361]

Answer:

<em>The temperature in Miami is 9/5 times the temperature in San Diego.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Ratios</u>

To compare the temperature in Miami (45) with the temperature in San Diego (25), we use the division or ratio between both numbers:

\displaystyle \frac{45}{25}

Simplify the fraction dividing by 5:

\displaystyle \frac{9}{5}

Since the relation between them is 9/5, it means the temperature in Miami is 9/5 times the temperature in San Diego.

Each vertical cross-section of the triangular
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

The vertical height is h=3\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In the right triangle ABC

see the attached figure

To find the height h apply the Pythagoras Theorem

c^{2}=a^{2}+b^{2}

we have

c=AB=3\sqrt{2}\ units

a=BC=6/2=3\ units

b=AC=h\ units

substitute

(3\sqrt{2})^{2}=3^{2}+h^{2}

18=9+h^{2}

h^{2}=18-9=9

h=3\ units
