Daily Dilemma #8: Answer Key

  1. Team 1:
    branch hits 4 for 4 •8 = 32 points
    knot hits 2 for 2 • 10 = 20 points

    Team 2:
    branch hits 4 for 4 • 8 = 32 points
    knot hits 3 for 3 • 10 = 30 points

    Total points: 32 + 20 + 32 + 30 = 114 points
  2. Factors of 48: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48

    Factors of 30: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30

    Factors of 42: 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42
  3. Perimeter is 8 + 22 + 8 + 22 + 60 meters

    They need 60 – 51 = 9 meters of fencing

    $3.45 • 9 = $31.05

  5. A flipnoodle is a quadrilateral with an interior circle along the base.
    So, flipnoodles are figures B and E.
    A is not a flipnoodle because the attached circle is on the exterior.
    C is not a flipnoodle because the figure is not a quadrilateral.
    D is not a flipnoodle because the circle is in the center of the figure rather than on the base.
    F is not a flipnoodle because the large part of the figure is a circle, not a quadrilateral.
