Five bales |
2017-10-08 |
|
John pose la question :
two answers were given... I believe both to be incorrect.
five bales weighed two at a time: weightx2 given: 110,112,113,114,115,116,117,118,120, and 121. It stated all combinations ie: ab,ac,ad,ad,bc,bd,be, etc. to arrive at the above 10 combined weights. I come up with the following...
Bale A= 54lbs, Bale B=56, Bale C=58, Bale D=59. and Bale E=62 pounds.
A+B=110, A+C=112, A+D=, B+C=114, B+D=115 ,A+E=116 ,C+D=117, B+E=118 ,C+E=120, and D+E=121

An enclosure for some remote control boats |
2017-10-03 |
|
Roberto pose la question :
I am trying to build a "ring" for our remote control boats, using irrigation pipe.
I'd like to use full 20' long sticks for the long sides and use eight of what we call
45s, which are actually 135' fittings to make the six short sides. If I know the length
of the two long sides, what would be the formula to find the exact lengths of the short sides?
Thank you.

The square root of 6 is irrational |
2017-10-02 |
|
John pose la question :
http://mathcentral.uregina.ca/QQ/database/QQ.09.06/sylvia1.html
In the initial assumption of that proof, root 6 is assumed to be a/b where a and b have no common factors, but why does having a common factor make it irrational?
