A piece of paper is cut in half 2007-04-12
Jana pose la question :
A piece of paper is cut in half and one piece is placed on top of the other. Then the two pieces are cut in half and one half is placed on top of the other, forming a stack of four pieces. If this process is carried out a total of 25 times and the original piece of paper is .003 inches thick, what is the height of the stack to the nearest foot.

b. Using the same problem setup: Suppose now that our paper is big enough to fold 50 times. Again the question is “What is the height of the stack of paper,” but this time, “to the nearest mile.”

Reducing the over all size of a irregular pentagon 2007-04-11
Gilbert pose la question :
I'm having trouble figuring out how to reduce the over all size of a irregular pentagon. The pentagon I'm trying to reduce has 2 right angles adjacent to each other. Basically the shape of a house. I have width, length of the legs and the height of the peak. But cannot figure out how to get the size of a reduced version that keeps the same proportion and angles. Thanks Gilbert
