PRE-TASK 1
The problem below will give you an idea about the major process that you will be
using for the entire lesson. How many squares will you need to balance a circle?
GIVEN: TO FIND:
𝑪 = 𝟐𝑺 + 𝑻 (𝑫𝟏) 𝑷 = ___
𝑻 = 𝑺 + 𝑷 (𝑫𝟑) 𝑪 = ___ 𝑺
D2 D2
𝟐𝑺 + 𝑻 + 𝑺 = 𝑻 + 𝑷 𝑪+𝑺 =𝑺+𝑷+𝑷
𝟐𝑺 + 𝑺 = 𝑷 𝑪 = 𝟐𝑷
𝟑𝑺 = 𝑷
THEREFORE
𝑪 = 𝟐𝑷
𝑪 = 𝟐(𝟑𝑺)
𝑪 = 𝟔𝑺
To answer the question, in order to balance 1 circle on the scale one side must have 6 squares.
