is 8 feet. What is the length of the sliding board? What is the angle between the ground and the
slide?

3. In shop class, you make a table. The sides of the table measure 36" and 18". If the diagonal of
the table measures 43", is the table “square”? (In construction, the term "square” just means the
table has right angles at the corners.)
4. In the Old West, settlers made tents out of a piece of cloth thrown over a clothesline and then
secured to the ground with stakes forming an isosceles triangle. How long would the cloth have
to be so that the opening of the tent was 6 feet high and 8 feet wide? What is the measure of the
angle formed by the two sides of cloth where the cloth is thrown over the clothesline?

6. Your family wants to purchase a new laptop with a 17” widescreen. Since the 17 inches represents
the diagonal measurement of the screen (upper corner to lower corner), you want to find out the

inches, but you don’t remember the width. Calculate and describe how you could figure out the
width of the laptop to the nearest tenth inch.

the ball?
8. In construction, floor space must be planned for staircases. If the vertical distance between the
first and second floors is 3.6 meters, and a contractor is using the standard step pattern of 28 cm
wide for 18 cm high, then how many steps are needed to get from the first to the second floor
and how much linear distance (ie “width” or “base”) will be needed for the staircase? What is the

You are working as an engineer at a water park. You are building a waterslide, and you have a few restrictions. The ladder up the slide
has to be between 20 and 35 feet tall. The slide has to make a 50°angle of elevation with the ground. It costs $100 per foot of slide
when the slide is under 30 feet and $70 per foot of slide when the slide is 30 feet or longer, and $25 per foot of ladder. Is it cheaper to
build the longer slide or the shorter slide? If you owned the park, which would you choose to build?
