Ok...this was a mathcounts problem that we could not get for several days. We finally were albe to find a few ways to solve it. Do not scroll down to the hint, unless of course you would like to see the hint. I will not post the solution.
Hint: draw a line from H to I, and then another line from D to F. Go after it with some right triangle trig!
Problem #2
Then here is another photo of a problem I do not have a solution for. Why should vehicles that get better gas mileage get to park closer to Best Buy?
So I like to hang around 101questions.com. Dan Meyer has inspired me to look for sharper hooks, often in images or video. Most importantly they make students care. I use quite a bit of his three act problems.
Which problem would you rather discuss?
