3) At Mario's Pizza they serve a pizza lunch buffet. The pieces are cut from 8 inch diameter pizzas and 12 inch diameter pizzas. The 8 inch pizzas are cut to have 8 congruent slices. The 12 inch pizzas are cut so that the pieces have the same area as the pieces from the 8 inch pizza. What is the angle at the tip of a slice from the 12 inch pizza?
|
- The area of one of the slices from the 8 inch pizza =
__________ sq. in.
- The area of the 12-inch pizza is:
____________ sq. in.
- Dividing the area of the 12-inch pizza by the area of one slice of the 8-inch pizza = ________________
- This means that the large pizza must be cut into ___ slices, so the angle at the tip is ______ degrees

4) Shauna enters a bike race. She checks out the course one weekend and it takes her a full hour to ride the course. If she rides at an average rate of 18 mph for the first 20 minutes, speeds up to 25 mph for the next 10 minutes, slows to 12 mph for the next 20 minutes and finishes with a speed of 28 mph, how long is the course? Express your answer to the nearest tenth of a mile.

Compute the distances for each leg and add: (I'll do the first leg for you! Note the time unit change)
- 18 mi x 20
min = 6 miles
60 min
- Second leg =
__________ mi.
- Third leg =
__________ mi.
- The remaining time out of the hour is _____ minutes
- Fourth leg =
__________ mi.
- The total course = _____ miles.

5) Mr Green is building a raised bed planter box frame 14
ft. long, 10 ft. wide, and 3 ft. high as shown. The top is 2
feet across from inner edge to outer edge so that Mr. Green
can sit down comfortably. Mr. Green plans to treat all the
surfaces, including the bottom, with a weather resistant
chemical. What is the surface area of the entire frame so
that he will know how much chemical to purchase?

There are many ways to cut up this planter box to sum up a series of rectangles, but the figure to the left is one.
Using these cuts, total up all the surfaces =
= __________ sq. ft.
