Spring Break: Day Five

Students in 1, 3, and 4°, remember that you have a posttest on April 3rd once we return.  Below is a question and video that you can use to help review/prepare for the posttest.  If you would like, you are encouraged to post an answer to the question below.

The covering on a teepee rests on poles that come together like
concurrent lines. The resulting structure approximates a cone. If the teepee
pictured is 12 ft. high with a base diameter 14 ft, estimate its volume.

Students in 2°, you are almost halfway through Chapter Eight.  Up to this point, we have discussed customary unit measures, significant digits, and circumference of a circle.  Once class resumes, it is expected that you can recall this information for a Quick Check.   If you would like, you are encouraged to post an answer to the question below.

Your dad agrees to pay you for mowing the front lawn.  He will pay you $0.01 a square foot.  The front lawn is 62 feet long and 38 feet wide.

What is the total square footage?

How much will you be paid for mowing the lawn? 

Just a fun video for you to watch today.  If you were at Troy last year, you 

saw Professor, aka Patrick, do something similar.
