Eduardo uses the fermi process and the following estimates to determine how many paperback books would fill the community pool he visits. a paperback book is about 12 ft long, 15 ft wide, and 15 ft thick. the swimming pool is about 40 ft long, 30 ft wide, and 5 ft deep. which equation could he have written?

Dimensions of paperback book :

Length = 12 feet

Breadth = 15 feet

Height = 15 feet

Volume of Paperback book =

                                             =  

                                             =  

Dimensions of swimming pool:

Length = 40 feet

Breadth = 30 feet

Height = 5 feet

Volume of swimming pool =

                                             =  

                                             =  

Now we are supposed to find  how many paperback books would fill the community pool he visits.

So, No. of paperback books would fill the community pool:

=

=

=

Thus 2 paperback books would fill the community pool

isocolese triangle

we know that the line connect a and b is the hyptonuse

so first find the hypotonuse length using the distance formula, call the length c

since it is an isocolese triangle, the lengths of the legs are the same

using pythagorean theorem,

in this case, a=b since isocolese triangle so we get

or

we can find c so we can find the distances

we know that if we draw 2 circles, each has center at a and b, and find where they intersect, we can the 2 possible locations for c

if a has center at (xa,ya) and b has center at (xb,yb), then we can solve where

and

intersect to find where they intersect

i'm not going to put an example because i have to go to class. i hope this explanation is enough

b. is true. hope this . happy
