1) I want you to try these problems from the packet.
p. 126: 25, 28, 35
p. 129: 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 9, 11, 14, 15. For these, they TELL you what the answer should be. your job--to get there. make sure to show your work.
2) Glastonbury Mountain is just off to the east from here. There used to be a lot of people who lived there, but now it is mostly abandoned and part of the Bennington Triangle. Teenagers go up there, hang out and generally try to scare each other. But things are changing--people are moving in. Three families, in fact. They know each other well and are willing to share in some basic needs.
There are three houses. Call them A, B, and C.
These houses each need water coming from the well (W).
These houses each need electricity from the generator (G)
These houses each need propane from the shared Propane Tank (P)
You have plenty of piping for all of these different needs (W, G, and P), but there is one caveat:
because you are on rocky ground, you cannot bury the pipes.
In addition, none of the pipes can overlap, and each person needs their own pipes from each utility directly to their house.
This means that there are three different pipes from the Well that cannot overlap. These pipes also cannot overlap the three separate pipes from Propane, or the generator.
This family is depending on YOU to design the system for their utility needs. Design it in the best fashion--you may place the six objects wherever you want and make the pipes as convoluted as needed.
If, for some reason, you are not capable of accomplishing this task, dig into the reasons why. Attempt to come up with a reason that you are unsuccessful. A good, rational, clear reason.
