TheEnd Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I see you're beginning to understand the heart of a maiden it's an impossible task right from the beginning and yet, we have no choice but to try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquakat Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Well, if X is merely the number of tiles and doesn't give a measurement, so with the 1 sq ft being a red herring, then it's simply 4x, though if it needs to be a closed border, then it's 4x + 4 for the corners. It probably is closed border. Math problems have a trick in them somehow. The 1 sq ft is simply reassuring the reader that the tiles are 1x1, not quite a red herring.

Well, perhaps not red herring, but it is a pointless data for the problem since you're told the size of the pool in tiles, so unless you're also told the tiles you have are not of the same size of the tiles used to measure the pool, then the size of the tiles is irrelevant.

I wouldn't call it 'pointless', since you just know the side is 'x' inches (I'm assuming inches). No mention of how many tiles long they were. It was written to tell the reader it is safe to ignore the length of the tile. Without it, you'd possibly be left with trying to account with said tile size.

Nightmare Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 it's an impossible task right from the beginning and yet, we have no choice but to try indeed, we truly have no choice I have always been training myself in it ever since a long time ago so long ago I don't even remember Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aquakat Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Wait, telling the size of the tiles is a sign to safely ignore the size? What kinda of logic is that...? The logic of people who will also write more complex problems. If it had been presented without a size, the correct answer would have had to account for the unknown size of the tile. Likely by using more letters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the problem only tells you the size of the pool by X number of tiles, never mentioning the size of the tiles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Odinson Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 (edited) Let's say the tiles are 2 sq ft instead there'd be a rad(2) in there somewhere like if one side is Y ft long then that side would have Y/rad2 tiles in it but since it's Y/1 you can leave that as Y 1 just makes things easier since 1 is a multiplicative/divisive identity which means you can ignore it because it won't change results if they gave you something other than 1, or something like a length a, you'd have to account for that Edited March 25, 2014 by Thor Odinson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aquakat Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Oh Kat. Thanks for the pictures of Sumire you found and apparently told Vashi to show me last night. ./leaves No problem. I could only hop on for a brief while yesterday, so I asked if she'd mind. But the problem only tells you the size of the pool by X number of tiles, never mentioning the size of the tiles. No, it just says 'x'. There's no mention of it being the number of tiles. It specifically states the tiles are 1 square foot, didn't it? Let's say the tiles are 2 sq ft instead there'd be a rad(2) in there somewhere like if one side is Y ft long then that side would have Y/rad2 tiles in it but since it's Y/1 you can leave that as Y 1 just makes things easier since 1 is a multiplicative/divisive identity which means you can ignore it because it won't change results if they gave you something other than 1, or something like a length a, you'd have to account for that Yay!

Well, according to him: apparently "X" was in there already. but it was just a space when i was posting so i didn't think it would come up. Anyway it is simple X number of tiles not Xx It is just the number of tiles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junk Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 well it asked for an expression to the amount of TOTAL tiles needed. one tile=1inch. Also thanks acacia, would have gotten an 80% instead of an 85 hehhe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
