Greek Mythology Can the Greek hero Achilles, running at 20 feet per second, ever catch a tortoise, starting 20 feet ahead of Achilles and running at 10 feet per second? The Greek mathematician Zeno said no. When Achilles runs 20 feet, the tortoise will be 10 feet ahead. Then, when Achilles runs 10 feet, the tortoise will be 5 feet ahead. Achilles will keep cutting the distance in half but will never catch the tortoise. The table shows Zeno’s reasoning. In the table, both the distances and the times required to achieve them form infinite geometric series. Using the table, show that both series have finite sums. What do these sums represent?
The legs of a right triangle are 718 and 912 . What is the length of the hypotenuse?
Look at the two figures below. (a) Which figure looks like it has the larger area? Which looks like it has the larger perimeter? (b) Now calculate the area and perimeter of each figure.

Edging a Planter A woman wants to make a small planter and surround it with edging material. She is deciding between two designs. Design 1: A square planter Design 2: A circular planter Edging material costs 3 a foot for the straight variety, which she would use for design 1 and 4 a foot for the flexible variety, which she would use for design 2. a If she decides on a perimeter of 24 ft, which design would give her the larger planting area? b If she decides to spend 120 on edging material, which design would give her the larger planting area?
