Chapter 7.2, Problem 33MS
Menger jacks. For the game of jacks, let’s imagine constructing a six-pointed metal jack whose ends are square. Begin with a solid cube. Make seven reduced copies, each reduced to 1/3 the size in each dimension, and position the seven little cubes in the original cube to create a jack. Draw the result of performing the collage-making instructions again.

- Show that there is no triangle for which a=4 feet, b=14 feet, and A=60.arrow_forwardYou are creating a wedding cake for a couple. The couple has already picked out a design that they like. The cake is composed of three tiers. Each tier is a square prism. The bottom tier has a length of 20 inches. The second tier has a length of 14 inches and the top tier has a length of 8 inches. Each tier has a height of 6 inches. The surface of the entire cake will need to be covered in frosting. How many cans of frosting will you need to buy, if each can covers 250 square inches? Calculate the surface area of the wedding cake. Remember, frosting will not be placed on the bottom of the tiers. Determine how many cans of frosting you will need. ***arrow_forwardKlara is building a fence in her backyard. The sides of the fence will form a right triangle with her home. The legs (base and height) of the triangle will be the fence material and the remaining side (hypotenuse) will be formed by her home.

The proportions of the side lengths are not necessarily representative of the actual side lengths.
