Concept explainers
Here we celebrate the power of algebra as a powerful way of finding unknown quantities by naming them, of expressing infinitely many relationships and connections clearly and succinetly, and of uncovering pattern and structure.
27. Beat the drum circle. Your university marching band has a tradition at the end of every football halftime show. They form a large circle in the field with the 50-yard line passing through the center of the circle, and then march counterclockwise while playing the school fight song. If the bass drummer starts on the 50-yard line, and the band marches 180 degrees around the circle, where does the bass drummer end up?

One liter contains 1000 cubic centimeters.arrow_forwardA piece in the shape of a pyramid with a regular octagon (eight sided) base is machined from a solid block of bronze. Each side of the octagon base is 9.36 inches long. The height of the piece is 7.08 inches. The octagon base area 4.829, where s is the length of a side of the octagon. a. Determine the volume of the piece. Round the answer to the nearest cubic inch. b. Determine the weight of the piece. Round the answer to the nearest pound. Note: One cubic foot of the bronze used weighs 547.9 pounds per cubic foot.arrow_forwardCompute the following problems. Express the answers to the nearer whole number.
