Explanation & Answer

Attached is the final copy for the math assignment.

1. Find the angular size of a circular object with a 1-inch diameter viewed from a distance
of 2
The angular size of the object is?
360

Angular size =physical size x 2×𝜋×𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒
Assuming the unit for distance are in yards
1yard=36inches
2yards =72inches
Now,
360

=1 x2×𝜋×72

𝟓
Ans=

𝟐𝝅

2. A mountain peak rises from sea level to a summit elevation of 3399 ft over a horizontal
distance of 15,847 ft. Find the grade of the peak. The grade of the peak is___%
Soln
Grade=(rise/run) x 100%
3399
15847

x 100%= 21.45%

21.45%

3. Given that the pair of triangles is similar, find the length of the side labeled n.

Soln
30 50
𝑛

=40

50𝑛 = 30 𝑥 40
50n=1200
n= 24

4. To get to a cabin, Dana can ride a bicycle west from a parking lot along the edge of a
rectangular reservoir for 1.5 miles, and then south along the edge for 0.8 miles. Or she
can row a boat directly from the parking lot. If Dana can ride 1.3 times as fast as she can
row, which is the faster route? Choose the faster route below.
__Riding a bicycle
__Rowing a boat
Soln
Length of riding path = 1.5 + 0.8 = 2.3 miles

Length of rowing path = 1.7 mile from Pythagorean theory =sqrt(1.52+0.82)
Assuming that Dana can row 1 mile per hour, and can ride 1.3 miles per hour (the actual
numbers don’t matter, just the ratio between them)
Time riding = 2.3 miles / 1.3 miles per hour = 1. 77hours
Time rowing = 1.7 mile / 1 mile per hour = 1.7 hour
Rowing is faster

5. A King in ancient times agreed to reward the inventor of chess with one grain of wheat
on the first of the 64 squares of a chess board. On the second square the King would
place two grains of wheat, on the third square, four grains of wheat, and on the fourth
square eight grains of wheat. If the amount of wheat is doubled in this way on each of the
remaining squares, how many grains of wheat should be placed on square 18? Also find
the total number of grains of wheat on the board at this time and their total weight in
pounds. (Assume that each grain of wheat weighs 1/7000 pound.) How many grains of
wheat should be placed on square 18?
Soln
This is a geometric progression
The general equation=2n-1 where n =(1,2,3,……………n-1)
At square 18 n=18
218-1=217=131,072grains

b) Total number of grains on the board
