1. Five with Ferster Day 1 To begin today, let’s consider these 5 problems. Take some time to work on these by yourself, or with a friend.

2. Problem #1 ›The drawing at the right shows the line with equation ›Points A and B are the y- intercept and x-intercept of the line. ›Point M is the midpoint of ›Determine the coordinates of point M. A M B

3. Problem #2 ›Find the perimeter of triangle ABC shown at the right. C B A

4. Problem #3 ›Sparky is wrapping 2 lovely gifts for his math teacher in Green Bay Packers wrapping paper. GO PACK GO!! Each gift has the shape of a rectangular prism (Think shoe box). The larger of the 2 boxes has a length, width, and height that is exactly 3 times as large as the corresponding measurements of the smaller box. What is the relationship between the surface area of the 2 gift boxes?

5. Problem #4 ›You have just plotted the following points: A:(1,1) B:(4,1) C:(4,5) ›You believe that when connected, the shape is a right triangle. How might you prove that assertion?

6. Problem #5 ›As shown, a goat is tied to the corner of a 5 meter by 4 meter rectangular shed by an 8 meter piece of rope. Rounded to the nearest square meter, calculate the area upon which the goat is able to graze. Use 3.14 for Goat is tied here Rope reaches to here 5 meters 4 meters
