6. The famous carpet salesman Al bin gebra has just
purchased a rectangular carpet. Unfortunately, he has
lost his tape measure so he doesn’t know the size of
this new carpet. However, when he lays the carpet
down in his rectangular 14 m by 11 m storeroom, the
four corners of the carpet just touch the four sides of
the storeroom at points which are a whole number of
metres away from the corners of the storeroom.
(Before Al lost his measuring tapes he had placed
marks at one metre intervals along the walls.)
One of the corners of the carpet is exactly 3 metres
from a corner of the storeroom on the 11 metre side
of the storeroom (see the diagram).
a) Find the exact length and width of the carpet.
b) Is your answer to (a) the only possible answer? Explain your reasoning.

7. A calculator company produces a scientific calculator and a graphing calculator. Long-

term projections indicate an expected demand of at least 110 scientific and 80 graphing

total of at least 260 calculators must be shipped each day. If each scientific calculator sold
results in a $5 profit, but each graphing calculator produces a $2 loss, how many of each
type should be made daily to maximize net profits?
