Example text

Label midpoint of BC as X. BC = m, so BX = m/2. Draw ΔEXB. This must be a right triangle because the line EX from the center of the base of the pyramid (E) to the midpoint (X) forms a right angle at EXB. Since the base is a square, EX must have half the length of a base edge. This is a 45°/45°/90° triangle, with BX and EX being m/2 or “s” (remember the formula for triangles). This means that BE would be s√2. Plug m/2 in for “s” to get s√2 . BX = m/2 BE = (m/2) × √2 BE = m√2 2 vii We’ve got EB and VB in terms of m and VE in terms of h.

Let’s make some friends. i Write our givens and define some friends. 30 days in April R : Rainy Days S : Non Rainy Days (sunny) 3 days of rain (R) for every 2 days of no rain (S) We should be thinking “system of equations,” since we’ve got two friends (variables). ii What are we looking for? How many more rainy days there are than sunny days. iii Let’s find one equation. Use the April info: 30 days. Some days it rained (R), and some it didn’t (S). Rainy Days + Non-Rainy Days = Total Days in April R + S = 30 R + S = 30 Equation 1 iv Can we figure out R and S?

The number of 5-person tables. iii We need some friends (variables) here. This looks like a system of equations because it doesn’t seem like one equation will give us our answer. Let x = Number of 4-person tables Let y = Number of 5-person tables ← That’s what we’re looking for. iv Let’s set up our equations: Tables: x + y = 19 People: 4x + 5y = 84 Now we’ve got our equations. We can either use substitution or adding down. Substitution is easier here because in the “Tables” equation, the variables don’t have any numbers in front of them.
