3. The directions on a bag of fertilizer indicate that one bag is enough to
fertilize 0.5 acres. Explain how a farmer could find the number of bags of
fertilizer he would need for 42 acres. Then solve.
4. Connect points A(1,2), B(3, 2), and C(2,6) to form a triangle. What type of
triangle is formed? Justify your answer.
5. The Lincoln Memorial has exterior columns. Each marble column is 44 feet
tall and has a diameter of 7 feet 5 inches. What is the volume of marble in
one column? If necessary, round to the nearest tenth.
6. Roland usually makes three free throws out of every five attempted. To
simulate the probability of Roland making two free throws in a row, Cathy
puts 25 marbles in a bag, red for a basket and blue for a miss. After a
marble is drawn and recorded, it is replaced. Of the 25 marbles how many
should be red?
