Answers to the Quiz

1. Evaluation

2. Short  Test of Vocabulary:

   ENIGMATIC: -: Obscure
   GRATIS: Free
   INFIRMITY: weakness
   LAMPOON: ridicule
   SARDONIC: sarcastic:

2. To get the largest total, pick the two largest numbers.
   Then of the remaining numbers, pick the next two largest
   numbers.  Continue until you use all eight numbers.
17 x 13 = 191
11 x 7   =   77
5 x 3    =   15
1 x 2    =     2
TOTAL= 285

3. L = length
   W = width
   L+W = 500

The area will increase by
10(L-10) – 10W=900
10(L-W) – 100 = 900
10(L-W)           = 1000
    (L-W)           = 100
     L+W           = 1000/2=500
        2W          =               400
          W          =               200
          L           =               300

200 x 300 = 60000 square meters
210 x 290 = 60900 square meters, 900 square meters more

Solution: the field is 200 meters by 300 meters.
