Pool Tables….Revised Problem Statement: The problem to this assignment is to find how many rebounds it takes to hit a corner of the pool table. You must start from the bottom-right and every hit is 45 degrees, also the sides of the table must be whole numbers. Example: And you can only count rebounds so the figure above only has 1 rebound. Proccess: For this problem I started out looking for patterns because usually math problems include patterns. I looked at the sides and started to add them, multiply them, subtract them, and divide, I even combined some of the steps like adding then subtracting because I was looking for similarities and patterns in the tables. I then came to a solution that worked for most tables but not all, it was adding …show more content…

I looked for ways to combine the equations and how smaller versions of tables worked and I found that similar figures did something with this, so I tried to reduce the sides and then use my first equation and It worked! So I tried it with other tables and it still worked with tables that hadn’t worked before, so I found the secret formula, it was (w+L)-2 but w/l had to be reduced so it would work. Like a 45*50 would be (9+10)-2 and that equals 17 rebounds. Pool Tables….Revised Another example is a 2*4 so that would be (1+2)-2 that equals 1 rebound. Self-assessment: I deserve all of the points because I stated the problem, showed my process, showed my solution, and have no errors in my writing because I fixed them in paperrater.
