During this pandemic, Timothy's father asked an engineer to survey the field behind their house. He wanted to plant some orange and tangerine trees there. According to the survey, the field is thirty-two feet long and six yards wide. What is the perimeter of the field in feet? a. 100 b. 50 c. 576 d. 192
As a contrast between the old and the modern and between the large and the small, consider the following: In old rural England 1 hide (between 100 and 120 acres) was the area of land needed to sustain one family with a single plough for one year. (An area of 1 acre is equal to 4047 m2.) Also, 1 wapentake was the area of land needed by 100 such families. In quantum physics, the cross-sectional area of a nucleus (defined in terms of the chance of a particle hitting and being absorbed by it) is measured in units of barns, where 1 barn is 1 * 10-28 m2. (In nuclear physics jargon, if a nucleus is “large,” then shooting a particle at it is like shooting a bullet at a barn door, which can hardly be missed.) What is the ratio of 25 wapentakes to 11 barns?
Dea agents watch drug smugglers load cocaine onto a fishing boat in a Mexican river to transport it down the river to the ocean, and then to Miami. To estimate how much cocaine was loaded, they measure how much further the boat sinks into the water after being loaded. If the boats area at the waterline is 50 m2 and it sinks by 2cm, how much cocaine was loaded?
