36. Through the Mentoring in the City Program sponsored by Marian College, in
Indianapolis, Indiana, children have turned a vacant downtown lot into a
monument for peace.* This community project brought together
neighborhood volun- teers,businesses,and government in hopes ofshowing
children how to develop positive, nonviolent ways of dealing with conict. A
landscape architect used the childrens drawings and ideas to design a
triangular- shaped peace garden. Two sides of the property, formed by
Indiana Avenue and Senate Avenue,measure 182 ft and 230
ft,respectively,and together form a 44.7 angle. The third side of the garden,
formed by an apartment building, measures 163 ft. What is the area of this
property?

42. During a rescue mission,a Marine fighter pilot receives data on an

unidentified aircraft from an AWACS plane and is instructed to intercept the
aircraft. The diagram shown appears on the screen, but before the distance

43. Knifemakers know that the bevel of the blade (the angle formed at the
cutting edge of the blade) determines the cut- ting characteristics of the
knife. A small bevel like that of a straight razor makes for a keen edge, but is
impractical for heavy-duty cutting because the edge dulls quickly and is
prone to chipping.A large bevel is suitable for heavy-duty work like chopping
wood. Survival knives, being univer- sal in application, are a compromise
between small and large bevels. The diagram at left illustrates the blade of a
hand-made Randall
Model 18 sur- vival knife.What is
its bevel?
