Surface Area and volume



Rectangular Prism

Top= LxW= 10x5=50 m2
Front= LxW= 10x6=60 m2
Side= LxW= 6x5= 30 m2


TSA= 2 (T+F+S)
TSA= 2 (50+60+30)
TSA= 2 (140)
= 280 m2

Triangular prism
LxW = 5x7= 135 cm

Bxh÷2
8x9 ÷ 2
72÷2 = 36 cm

135 + 36 +36 = 207 cm2

Cylinder

S.A = 2 (pie r 2 ) + (pie x d x h)
S.A= 2 (3.14 x 4 x 4) + (3.14 x 8 x 12)
S.A = 2 x 50.24
100.48 + 301.44 = 401.92 mm2


V=π.r.r.h
V= 3.14 x 6 x 6 x 15
V= 1695.6

Textbook questions

10. Kai uses an entire can of paint on a square backdrop for the school play. The label on can states that one can cover 27 m squared of wall surface. Estimate the backdrop's side length to one decimal place.

Answer 5.2 m √27 = 5.2

19. Estimate the square root of 160 100. Explain how you determined your estimate.

√160= 40
√100= 10
40x10= 400 answer 400

Michael's textbook questions 5,6, and 7

Question 5 (page 148)
Ravi purchased 3 DVD's for 19.99 each. Find the total cost for the DVD's include 5% GST and 6% PST.

3 dvd's= 19.99 x 3 =59.97
tax = 11% 59.97 x 0.11= 6.6
11% = 6.6
59.97+6.6= $67.6 3 DVD's plus tax is total to $67.6

Question 6
A store discounted items by 50% off the original price one week. The following week an additional 10% was taken off the already reduced price. The regular price of a CD player was $85.00. What is the reduced price in the second week?

First week
50% off of $85.oo is 85.00 x 0.50 =$42.5
second week
10% off of $42.5 42.5 x 0.10= 4.25 42.5 - 4.25 = $ 38.25

Question 5 (chapter review)
2/5% of325 = 1.3
15 1/4% of 950= 144.88
175% of 125.50- 219.63

Michael's Graphing Post

Bar graph
advantage of a bar graph is that it is best to use for comparing data across categories.
Disadvantage - it is used to seperate data.

Double bar graph
advantage- it is used to compare two sets a data
disadvantage-it doesn't show the true value

Circle Graph
advantage- its best for showing percents
disadvantage- you have to calculate to show the true value

Line graph
advantage- you can tell wheather a set of data is increasing or decreasing over time
disadvantage- can only be used to compare data over time

Pictograph

advantage- you can see which piece of data is higher or lower
disadvantage- you have to calculate to get the true value


2. How can graphs be misleading? show 3 ways




You can mislead a pictograph if you make one piece of data larger than the others.



You can mislead a bar graph by breaking the y-axis so the intevals will be more closer together.

You can also mislead a bar graph by making one bar larger.


2. a) A line graph or a bar graph would be best for comparing this set of data.
b)I would continue selling pizza subs because every week the sales are going up.

4. a) I would choose a line graph because it shows the data more accurately.
b)

Michael's Propotion Post



Ratio- The relation between two similar numbers (1:2)
Rate- A comparison of two quantities measured in different units. $1.69 per 100 grams or $1.69/100 g is a rate for purchasing bulk food. 72 beats per minute or 72 beats/min is a heart rate.
Proportion- An equation which states that two ratios (fractions) are equal.

Task 2
1. 5 hours to travel 360 miles is about 72 mph


2. As a playgroup worker, if I increase the amount of apple juice I am serving at the playgroup from 25 ml to 100 ml, how much should I increase the the orange juice to, to keep the quantities in the same proportion? The orange juice is 50 ml to start with. You can just x2


Task 3
What are the three ways you can prove that equivalent ratio statements are true?
3/4 = 12/16 or 4/9 = 16/32 Three ways you can prove it is equivalent is cross multiply , horizontal, vertical, and diagonal.
4/9 = 16/32 is FALSE because what you do to the top and the bottom the answer is different.


Task 4














Task 5

1.Does this seem fair? This does not seem fair because the homeless guy only stole $100 and was sent to jail for 15 years. The rich guy stole 3million dollars and he got sent to jail for 40 months. The rich guy stole more but went to jail for less time then the homeless guy. This is not even close to being fair.

2.With what you know about proportion look and read what is in the image above.Does it seem just and fair? Why have you made this choice? It does not seem fair because the rich guy stole more money but went to jail for less time then the homeless guy. I've mad this choice because the judge is dumb for putting someone to jail that stole $100 and get put in jail for 15 years.

3. What would you have done if you were the judge? If i was the judge i would of put the rich guy in jail for 30 years and the homeless guy for 10 months.
