Project #12: It is proposed to repair the asphalt on parking lot number 2 at Hampton University. Measure the Area of the lot to the nearest possible [foot] and present it graphically. Knowing that cost of asphalting is $7500 for the first one acre and $210 per each additional square yard, determine the total cost of the project. This report will discuss the methods used to measure the area of the lot and how the measurements were used to determine the cost of asphalting.
Background
When the group was coming up with a way to measure the lot, the lot was broken up into smaller, simpler shapes and found the area of those. Area is 2-dimensional meaning it has a length and a width. Area is measured in units squared; feet in this case because that was the largest unit that the tape measure provided. We used the formula for the area of a rectangle (Length times width or L*W). Measuring the lot was difficult because 1) it was too large for the measuring tape in some regions 2) the entrance and exit was abnormally shaped making it hard to measure with just measuring tape 3) not everything in the parking lot was asphalt and 4) there weren’t the same number of parking spots on both sides.

The two parking spaces at the end of the lot were wider than the rest so the area of those were calculated separately. At this point the only things left to account for were the section in between the rows of parking spaces and the entrance/exit to the lot. The length of the middle section was entirely too long; measuring it with measuring tape would be a lengthy process. Instead the measurements of the width of the parking spaces were multiplied by the number of parking spots to obtain the length. For the width, the space between two parking spots was measured and added to the length of two parking spots or
The purpose of this lab was to discover how diverse the parking lot at Bunker Hill High School could be, by finding out the Shannon Wiener biodiversity index of the parking lot. The parking lot was used because it does not have much immigration and emigration of the cars. Using an actual ecosystem in the wild would be hard to control, what is immigrating and emigrating out of the experiment. The experiment shows how diverse the cars were, and this can show how diverse an actual ecosystem was during that time of the experiment. This then tells that diversity does matters because if everyone had the same kind of car, then no one would be different. However, if the students, faculty, and guests had a variety of cars in the parking lot, which made the experiment more diverse in the parking lot or the community of cars.
The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) is one of the largest transit systems in the United States. It is the ninth largest system, transporting over 550,000 passengers daily. MARTA provides bus and rapid rail service to the most of the metropolitan area of Atlanta. The transit agency was established in 1971 with the passage of an authorizing referendum by voters in Fulton and DeKalb counties and the city of Atlanta. MARTA is a public authority that operates under Georgia law. The agency is governed by a board of directors with representation from several counties including Fulton, DeKalb, Clayton, and Gwinnett as well as the city of Atlanta. MARTA has approximately 4,500 employees. The majority of MARTA's operating revenues come from fares and a sales tax from customers.
In Jason Corburn’s book, Street Science: Community Knowledge and Environmental Health Justice, one of the examples used to explain his term street science is the West Harlem Environmental Action (WEACT). According to research compiled, the case of WEACT and its use of street science to address growing health concerns is one of the more famous examples demonstrating how street science can become empowering to the community. Furthermore, this case study exhibits broader implications that can arise from street science regarding policy changes. The area of West Harlem is adversely affected by environmental health justice concerns. The creation of WEACT was to establish an organization that would directly address community concerns, rather
For the canal memorial the city of Delphos can set the northeast portion of Stadium Park aside for improvements. The road along the canal in Stadium Park can be repaved to remove any potholes. In addition, the newly paved will lead to a small parking area that already exist to the west of lock 24. Eventually, the parking space will have some landscaping done around it in order to incorporate the parking lot into the overall
For example there are three arrangements of rectangles that form a 3 foot long runner. Note that the
The number of complaints relating to Cal State Fullerton’s parking is out of control. Considering the prices CSU Fullerton charges to park at their school, students should be guaranteed a parking space. Students are currently outraged regarding the Cal State Fullerton’s parking conditions. Some students even decide to not attend the school based on the pricing and availability of parking. A school losing an immense number of students only because of the parking situation is insane. Cal State Fullerton should reduce the pricing towards parking for reasons of availability, cost, and profit.
Students will fall between the two different options based on how they weighed the information. Every answer should take into consideration paying the loan and or monthly bills as well as turning a profit.
Looking at the issues with constructing a new stadium in the city of London the main issue was finding the perfect location that can support our plans of having a multi-purpose stadium with 100,000 seating capacity. We found two possible locations that were completely different in geographical positioning. The first location we found was about twelve miles outside the city of London, which is not bad in a sense because it was a cheap plot of land. Then we came to a realization that our potential fans would be passing the new state of the art Wembley Stadium. Since the stadium is brand new and holds up to 90,000 soccer fans, we decided that we needed to find an area to build within the city of London itself that would be different to Wembly
Width is the length of the square minus 2H, (2H is the width of the
This is because if you "move" some of the perimeter (d) from length to width (i.e. decrease one dimension and increase the other) the perimeter has not. changed, but the equation for working out the area has. It changes from (250)(250) = 250 squared to (250-d)(250+d) =250 squared - d squared.

First, we talked about pi and how important the number is to math. Pi is an infinite number and is the ratio between a circle's circumference and diameter. To create pi, you divide 22 by 7. I thought this was very interesting because of how long and important this number is to math. It was incredible. Next, we learned about how to find the circumference of a circle. The formula for this was 2πr which didn’t really make sense. I didn’t understand it until the teacher explained it. 2πr was just another way of saying πd. You take pi and multiply it by the diameter. This made sense to me because pi is the constant between the circumference and diameter of a circle. In theory, if we multiply pi by the diameter or radius*2, we should end up with the circumference. Then, we talked about the area of a circle. Just like the circumference of a circle, the formula to find the area was just a bunch of numbers until it was explained to me. In this picture below, it visualized how πr² equals area. It shows the circle chopped up into different triangles. On the left, it visualizes the height, or in this case radius, of the circle. On the bottom, it shows the lengths of all of the triangles put together with is pi*radius. Now all you would have to do it combine both to make a formula. Pi would stay the same and the 2 r’s (radius) would
1. The philosophy behind the 100% Satisfaction Guarantee is to have the guests act as quality-assurance inspectors by identifying quality deficiencies and reporting them to hotel employees. I do think that this is a good way to improve service quality; however, I am not sure that it is the best way. While it may seem to consumers that employees will try harder to satisfy them, if employees are empowered to refund a customer’s money, they do not have to answer to management, they can just do it.
Most students enter grade 3 with enthusiasm for, and interest in, learning mathematics. In fact, nearly three-quarters of U.S. fourth graders report liking mathematics (NCTM, 143). This can be a very critical time in keeping children interested in what they are learning. If the work turns too monotonous and uninteresting it can have a negative effect on their perceptions of the subject later in life. If students in grades three through five are given mathematic material that is interesting it can help keep their enthusiasm toward the subject. One of the major content areas that is covered at this time is measurement. Measurement is one of the ways that teachers can introduce students to the usefulness and practicality of mathematics. Measurement requires the comparison of an attribute (distance, surface, capacity, mass, time, temperature) between two objects or to a known standard. Measurement also introduces students to the important concepts of precision, approximation, tolerance, error and dimension. Instructional programs from prekindergarten through grade twelve should enable students to understand measurable attributes of objects and the units, systems, and processes of measurement. Also, apply the appropriate techniques, tools, and formulas to determine measurements (NCTM, 171). This paper will describe how those ideas are developed in grades three through five.
