Given Solution: `aA rectangular solid has six faces (top, bottom, front, back, left side, right side if you're facing it). The pairs top and bottom, right and left sides, and front-back have identical areas. This solid therefore has two faces with each of the following dimensions: 3 m by 4 m, 3 m by 6 m and 4 m by 6 m, areas 12 m^2, 18 m^2 and 24 m^2. Total area is 2 * 12 m^2 + 2 * 18 m^2 + 2 * 24 m^2 = 108 m^2. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: ********************************************* Question: `q002. What is the surface area of the curved sides of a cylinder whose radius is five meters and whose altitude is 12 meters? If the cylinder is closed what is its total surface area? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: 2pir=2(pi)(5)=10pi m A=circumference*altitude= 10m^2x12=120pim^2 A=pir2 A=pi(5m)^2=25 pi m^2 Area of sides 120pim^2+2*25pi m^2=170pi m ^2 confidence rating #$&*: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I admit, I had to look below to figure this out.

Given Solution: The circumference of this cylinder is 2 pi r = 2 pi * 5 m = 10 pi m. If the cylinder was cut by a straight line running up its curved face then unrolled it would form a rectangle whose length and width would be the altitude and the circumference. The area of the curved side is therefore A = circumference * altitude = 10 pi m * 12 m = 120 pi m^2. If the cylinder is closed then it has a top and a bottom, each a circle of radius 5 m with resulting area A = pi r^2 = pi * (5 m)^2 = 25 pi m^2. The total area would then be total area = area of sides + 2 * area of base = 120 pi m^2 + 2 * 25 pi m^2 = 170 pi m^2. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: ********************************************* Question: `q003. What is surface area of a sphere of diameter three cm? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: To calculate for the surface are of the sphere I will use the following formula: A= 4 pi r^2 In need to find the radius first which will be the diameter divided by 2, giving me 1.5 so I will plug the numbers into my formula 4 pi (1.5)^2=9pi cm^2 confidence rating #$&*: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: `aThe surface area of a sphere of radius r is A = 4 pi r^2. This sphere has radius 3 cm / 2, and therefore has surface area A = 4 pi r^2 = 4 pi * (3/2 cm)^2 = 9 pi cm^2. NOTE TO STUDENT: While your work on most problems has been good, you left this problem blank and didn't self-critique. You should self-critique here. • For example you should acknowledge having made note of the formula for the surface area of the sphere, which I expect you didn't know before. I expect from your previous answers that you are very capable of applying the formula once you have it, and based on this history you probably wouldn't need to self-critique that aspect of the process. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: ********************************************* Question: `q004. What is hypotenuse of a right triangle whose legs are 5 meters and 9 meters? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: Wow. It has been a very long time since I calculated for a hypotenuse. I will use the equation: c^2=a^2+b^2 So: c^2=(5m)^2+(9m)^2=106m^2, I then calculate the square root of 106m^2 which gives me 10.3 m confidence rating #$&*: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: `aThe Pythagorean Theorem says that the hypotenuse c of a right triangle with legs a and b satisfies the equation c^2 = a^2 + b^2. So, since all lengths are positive, we know that c = sqrt(a^2 + b^2) = sqrt( (5 m)^2 + (9 m)^2 ) = sqrt( 25 m^2 + 81 m^2) = sqrt( 106 m^2 ) = 10.3 m, approx.. Note that this is not what we would get if we made the common error of assuming that sqrt(a^2 + b^2) = a + b; this would tell us that the hypotenuse is 14 m, which is emphatically not so. There is no justification whatsoever for applying a distributive law (like x * ( y + z) = x * y + x * z ) to the square root operator. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: ********************************************* Question: `q005. If the hypotenuse of a right triangle has length 6 meters and one of its legs has length 4 meters what is the length of the other leg? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: I will use the formula a^2=c^2-b^2 since I already know the hypotenuse which is 6 m and side b is 4 m. This will give me a^2=(6m)^2-(4m)^2 =20 which I then take the square root of =4.5 m approximately. confidence rating #$&*: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: `aIf c is the hypotenuse and a and b the legs, we know by the Pythagorean Theorem that c^2 = a^2 + b^2, so that a^2 = c^2 - b^2. Knowing the hypotenuse c = 6 m and the side b = 4 m we therefore find the unknown leg: a = sqrt( c^2 - b^2) = sqrt( (6 m)^2 - (4 m)^2 ) = sqrt(36 m^2 - 16 m^2) = sqrt(20 m^2) = sqrt(20) * sqrt(m^2) = 2 sqrt(5) m, or approximately 4.4 m. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: ********************************************* Question: `q006. If a rectangular solid made of a uniform, homogeneous material has dimensions 4 cm by 7 cm by 12 cm and if its mass is 700 grams then what is its density in grams per cubic cm? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: I will multiply the dimensions together giving me: 4cm*7cm*12cm=336cm^3. If the density is 700 grams, I will divide the 700 grams/336cm^3 to give me 2.06g/cm^3. The density is 2.06g/cm^3 confidence rating #$&*: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: `aThe volume of this solid is 4 cm * 7 cm * 12 cm = 336 cm^3. Its density in grams per cm^3 is the number of grams in each cm^3. We find this quantity by dividing the number of grams by the number of cm^3. We find that • density = 700 grams / (336 cm^3) = 2.06 grams / cm^3. Note that the solid was said to be uniform and homogeneous, meaning that it's all made of the same material, which is uniformly distributed. So each cm^3 does indeed have a mass of 2.06 grams. • Had we not known that the material was uniform and homogeneous we could have said that the average density is 2.06 grams / cm^3, but not that the density is 2.06 grams / cm^3 (for example the object could be made of two separate substances, one with density less than 2.06 grams / cm^3 and the other with density greater than 2.06 g / cm^3, in appropriate proportions; neither substance would have density 2.06 g / cm^3, but the average density could be 2.06 g / cm^3). NOTE TO STUDENT: (in this note the instructor attempts to clarify the idea of 'demonstrating what you do and do not understand about the statement of the problem' and 'giving a phrase-by-phrase analysis of the given solution') You did not respond to the question and did not self-critique. You would be expected to address the question, stating what you do and do not understand. • For example you should understand what a rectangular solid with dimensions 4 cm by 7 cm by 12 cm is, and how to find its volume and surface area. You might not know what to do with this information (for example you might well not understand that it's the volume and not the surface area that's related to density), but from previous work you should understand this much, and should at least mention something along the lines of 'well, I do know that I can find the volume and/or surface area of that solid' in a partial solution. • The word 'density' is clearly very important. Even if you don't know what density is, you could note from the statement of the problem that its units here are said to be 'grams per cubic centimeter'. Having noted these things, you will be much better prepared to understand the information in the given solution. Then you need to address the information in the given solution. A 'phrase-by-phrase' analysis is generally very beneficial: • I expect you understand the first statement from previous knowledge (you should have this understanding from prerequisite courses, and if not you encountered it in the preceding 'volumes' exercise): 'The volume of this solid is 4 cm * 7 cm * 12 cm = 336 cm^3.' It would of course be appropriate to ask a question here if necessary. • It is likely that, as is the case with many students, the concept of density is not that familiar to you. However if this wasn't addressed specifically in prerequisite courses, those courses would be expected to prepare you to understand this concept. The statement 'Its density in grams per cm^3 is the number of grams in each cm^3.' serves as a definition of density. In your self-critique you should have addressed what what this phrase means to you, and what you do or do not understand about it • The next phrase is 'We find this quantity by dividing the number of grams by the number of cm^3.' You would be expected to understand that this phrase is related to the preceding, and as best you can to address the connection. At this point many students would need to ask a question, and it would be perfectly appropriate to do so (or to have done so regarding previous statements). • The subsequent phrase 'density = 700 grams / (336 cm^3) = 2.06 grams / cm^3' is an illustration of the ideas and definitions in the preceding statements. A reasonable self-critique would demonstrate your attempt to understand this statement and its connection to the preceding. Once again questions would also be appropriate and welcome. • The above addresses sufficient information to solve the problem. If you get to this point, you're probably doing OK and you wouldn't necessarily be expected to address the rest of the given solution, which expands on the finer details of the problem and provides additional information. The basic prerequisite courses should have prepared you to understand the information, but students entering Liberal Arts Mathematics, College Algebra and even Precalculus or Applied Calculus (or Physics 121-122) courses probably don't need to address anything beyond the basic solution at this point. Though Precalculus and Applied Calculus students could benefit from doing so, and if time permits would certainly be encouraged to do so, time is also a factor and it would be understandable if these students chose to move on. • Students entering the Mth 173-4 sequence or the Phy 201-202 or 231-232 sequence would be expected to either completely understand all the details of the given solution, or address them in your self-critique. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): I understand that the density I found above was not the density of the rectangle, but the average density. The rectangle could be made of 2 separate densities, one with a lesser density than I found above and one with a higher density than I found above. So I should always express that this is an average density. I understand when I multiply cm 3 different times I will end up with cm^3 in my answer. ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: ********************************************* Question: `q007. What is the mass of a sphere of radius 4 meters if its average density is 3,000 kg/cubic meter? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: I would first need to find the volume of a sphere using the following equation: 4/3 pi r^3=4/3 pi(4m)^3=256/3 *pi*m^3. Then to find the mass of the sphere I will need to use this formula: mass=density*volume which will look like this= mass= 3000kg/cubic meter *256/3*pi*m^3=256,000pim^3/kg confidence rating #$&*: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: `aA average density of 3000 kg / cubic meter implies that, at least on the average, every cubic meter has a mass of 3000 kg. So to find the mass of the sphere we multiply the number of cubic meters by 3000 kg. The volume of a sphere of radius 4 meters is 4/3 pi r^3 = 4/3 * pi (4m)^3 = 256/3 * pi m^3. So the mass of this sphere is mass = density * volume = 256 / 3 * pi m^3 * 3000 kg / m^3 = 256,000 * pi kg. This result can be approximated to an appropriate number of significant figures. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): Professor, do I not need to carry the m^3 with the answer. Above you have 256000*pi kg but the m^3 is not listed. I don’t see why that was dropped out of the answer. Please explain.
.............................................
Given Solution: `aThe first piece has a mass of 4 grams / cm^3 * 6 cm^3 = 24 grams. The second has a mass of 2 grams / cm^3 * 10 cm^3 = 20 grams. So the total mass is 24 grams + 20 grams = 44 grams. The average density of this object is average density = total mass / total volume = (24 grams + 20 grams) / (6 cm^3 + 10 cm^3) = 44 grams / (16 cm^3) = 2.75 grams / cm^3. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: ********************************************* Question: `q009. In a large box of dimension 2 meters by 3 meters by 5 meters we place 27 cubic meters of sand whose density is 2100 kg/cubic meter, surrounding a total of three cubic meters of cannon balls whose density is 8,000 kg per cubic meter. What is the average density of the material in the box? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: It’s taking me a little bit, but I am getting this figured out. The dimension of the box above doesn’t even get taken into consideration. First I need to find the mass. I calculate this by using mass=density *volume which is 2100kg/m3*27=56700kg/m3 for the sand, and 8000kg/m3*3m3=80700kg/m3. I will then calculate the average density for which I will use the formula average density=total mass/total volume which looks like this: 56700kg/m3=24000kg/m3/27+3m3=2690kg/m3. So the average density is 2690kg/m3 confidence rating #$&*: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Woo hoo! I’m figuring this out.
.............................................
Given Solution: `aWe find the average density from the total mass and the total volume. The mass of the sand is 27 m^3 * 2100 kg / m^3 = 56,700 kg. The mass of the cannonballs is 3 m^3 * 8,000 kg / m^3 = 24,000 kg. The average density is therefore average density = total mass / total volume = (56,700 kg + 24,000 kg) / (27 m^3 + 3 m^3) = 80,700 kg / (30 m^3) = 2,700 kg / m^3, approx.. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: ********************************************* Question: `q010. How many cubic meters of oil are there in an oil slick which covers 1,700,000 square meters (between 1/2 and 1 square mile) to an average depth of .015 meters? If the density of the oil is 860 kg/cubic meter the what is the mass of the oil slick? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: First I will need to find the volume of the oil slick which can be calculated as v=A*h which gives me 1700000x.15=255000m3. I then use the mass=density * volume formula to calculate mass of the oil slick, which gives me 860kg/m3 *255,000m3=219,300,000kg/m3 confidence rating #$&*: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: `aThe volume of the slick is V = A * h, where A is the area of the slick and h the thickness. This is the same principle used to find the volume of a cylinder or a rectangular solid. We see that the volume is V = A * h = 1,700,000 m^2 * .015 m = 25,500 m^3. The mass of the slick is therefore mass = density * volume = 860 kg / m^3 * 25,500 m^3 = 21 930 000 kg. This result should be rounded according to the number of significant figures in the given information. STUDENT QUESTION I didn’t round to the most significant figure. ???? How important is this? INSTRUCTOR RESPONSE It will be important. This document is preliminary; the issue of significant figures will be addressed more specifically as we move into the course.

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is also the diameter of a certain circle. If the legs of the triangle are 4 feet and 9 feet, what is the area of the circle? Optional question (somewhat challenging): The hypotenuse of a right triangle is also the diameter of a certain circle. The legs of the triangle are also diameters of circles, and the areas of those circles are respectively 50 pi and 90 pi. Can you find the area of the largest circle without actually calculating the hypotenuse first? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: I will use the formula c2=a2+b2 C2=(4)^2 +(9)^2=97 ft^2 The diameter will be calculated by dividing the diameter by 2 giving me 48.5ft^2. To find the area of the circle I use the formula A=pir2 which gives me A=pi(48.5)^2 which is 2352 *pi. I’m not sure how to calculate for the area of the circle without first having the hypotenuse.
