DUE DATE: Wednesday, May 8th, 2019
DOUBLE GRADE – PROJECT & TEST
Answers must have supporting work on a separate sheet(s) of paper. Sloppy work will not be
graded. NO WORK = NO CREDIT!! NOTE: All dimensions are in feet, indicate appropriate units on
the answer sheet.
Step 1. Expressing perimeters as polynomial expressions
On a separate sheet of paper work each of the questions below.
•
Your work must be clearly numbered, labeled and neat. Answers must be in simplified
form.
All answers are polynomial expressions.
1)
2)
3)
4)
Find the perimeter of each room. Record your answers on the answer sheet.
Find the perimeter of the Master Bedroom and the Master Closet.
Find the perimeter of the Bedroom, Closet, and Bathroom.
Find the perimeter of the whole house.
•
Step 2. Calculating perimeters
•
•
On a separate sheet of paper work each of the questions below.
Your work must be clearly numbered, labeled and neat.
5) The perimeter of the kitchen and the perimeter of the dining room are exactly the same.
Write an equation to represent that the perimeters are equal.
6) Solve the equation you wrote in #5 for x.
7) Substitute the value you found for x to find the perimeter of each room. Record your
answer on the answer sheet.
8) Substitute the value you found for x to find the perimeter of the whole house.
Step 3. Expressing areas as polynomial expressions
On a separate sheet of paper work each of the questions below.
•
•
Your work must be clearly numbered, labeled and neat. Answers must be in simplified
form.
All answers are polynomial expressions.
9) Find the area of each room. Record your answers on the answer sheet.
Step 4. Calculating areas
•
•
On a separate sheet of paper work each of the questions below.
Your work must be clearly numbered, labeled and neat.
10) Using the same x-value you solved for from the perimeter, find the areas of each room.
Record your answer on the answer sheet.
Step 5. Application Problems
•
•
On a separate sheet of paper work each of the questions below.
Your work must be clearly numbered, labeled and neat.
11) You want to put carpet in the Master Bedroom, the Master Closet, the Bedroom, the
Closet, and the Living Room. You checked with various stores and found that the best deal
was given by a company who will charge you $3.95 per square foot (this includes carpet
pad and labor). Calculate the total cost for carpeting these rooms.
12) You want to put vinyl flooring in the Bathroom. You checked with various stores and found
that the best deal was given by a company who will charge you $3.50 per square foot
(labor included). Calculate the total cost for the vinyl flooring.
13) You want to put hardwood flooring in the Hallway. You checked with various stores and
found that the best deal was given by a company who will charge you $4.99 per square
foot plus $325 for labor. Calculate the total cost for the hardwood flooring.
14) You want to put ceramic tile flooring in your Kitchen and Dining Room. You checked with
various stores and found that the best deal was given by a company who will charge you
$2.95 per square foot plus $375 for labor. Calculate the total cost for the ceramic tile
flooring.
