Problem 41
Find the measure of the angles. The measures of two supplementary angles are \((10 x-25)^{\circ}\) and \((15 x+50)^{\circ}\)
Problem 43
The perimeter of a geometric figure is the sum of the lengths of its sides. Pablo used a ruler divided into centimeters and measured the sides of a triangle as 3 centimeters, 5 centimeters, and 6 centimeters. Use what you know about the precision of any measurement to answer each question. What is the least possible perimeter of the triangle? Explain.
Problem 44
Find the value of the variable and \(M P,\) if \(P\) is between \(M\) and \(N\) $$M P=4 x, P N=5 x, M N=36$$
Problem 48
The geographic center of Massachusetts is in Rutland at \(\left(42.4^{\circ}, 71.9^{\circ}\right),\) which represents north latitude and west longitude. Hampden is near the southern border of Massachusetts at \(\left(42.1^{\circ}, 72.4^{\circ}\right)\). CAN'T COPY THE GRAPH If Hampden is the midpoint of a segment with one endpoint at Rutland, find the latitude and longitude of the other endpoint.
Problem 49
Find the distance between each pair of points. $$L(1,3), M(3,-1)$$
Problem 51
Use grid paper to draw all possible rectangles with length and width that are whole numbers and with a perimeter of \(12 .\) Record the number of grid squares contained in each rectangle. What do you notice about the rectangle with the greatest number of squares?
Problem 51
Find the distance between each pair of points. Then find the coordinates of the midpoint of the line segment between the points. $$E(-3,-2), F(5,8)$$
Problem 53
Evaluate each expression if \(\ell=3, w=8,\) and \(s=2\) $$\ell w$$
Problem 53
