The sides of a 5-pointed star inscribed in a circle |
2021-09-18 |
|
From Scott:
Is there a calculation for the length of each side of a five-pointed star?
I am not worried about area but if I have a circle with a 7.5 foot radius and
place a star inside it, how can I measure the lines creating the star?

Five bales |
2017-10-08 |
|
From John:
two answers were given... I believe both to be incorrect.
five bales weighed two at a time: weightx2 given: 110,112,113,114,115,116,117,118,120, and 121. It stated all combinations ie: ab,ac,ad,ad,bc,bd,be, etc. to arrive at the above 10 combined weights. I come up with the following...
Bale A= 54lbs, Bale B=56, Bale C=58, Bale D=59. and Bale E=62 pounds.
A+B=110, A+C=112, A+D=, B+C=114, B+D=115 ,A+E=116 ,C+D=117, B+E=118 ,C+E=120, and D+E=121

A sixfold increase |
2007-10-24 |
|
From Fred:
If I have $500 and it grew to $3,000, what is the correct description of the increase? Is it a sixfold increase (sextupled), or a fivefold increase (quintupled)?
When I divide $3,000 by $500, the result is six, therefore, a sixfold increase?

My son, who is 9 in grade 5 has been asked to convert base 10 numerals into base 5. His first question of: 24(10) he has calculated to be 4x5 + 4x1 = 44 (5) The next question however is the tricky one.Ý We know the answer is supposed to be 100 but we find it difficult to get this in the way he understands it. 25 (10) = _________________ 100 (5) Can you help us figure out how we reach the answer.

Polynomials degree 4 and bigger |

From Stephen:
How do I show kids how to find all the zeros for polynomials degree 4 and bigger.
For examples:
r(x) = x5-11x3-7x2+77 = (x2-11)(x3-7) and s(x) = x4-121 = (x2-11)(x2+11) Also am I correct when I say that the following are irreducible? f(x) = x2-11
g(x) = x3-7
h(x) = x4-5

1:5 |
2001-09-27 |

From Sandy:
A colleague and I have a disagreement about dilutions. I seem to remember that I was taught (although it was a long time ago) that a RATIO was written thusly: 1:5 , and read " one part to five parts", for a total of 6 parts. On the other hand, a fraction is written: 1/5 and is read" one part in five" for a total of 5 parts. My colleague says that the ratio reads "one part in five" and is essentially the same as a fraction. Which is right? Have I been doing dilutions wrong all this time? I teach Animal Nursing and need to know where I can find a consise answer to such questions for making up medicated fluids, etc.

To whom it may concern, I have difficulty in getting the solution to the following question: Find 5 numbers that have exactly 5 factors. I got 16, 81 but couldn't find the rest. I believe that in order to have 5 factors, it has to be a square number. Isn't it true? I guess there may be a pattern to this. Thanks for your help.
