A company makes hanging ornaments in various shapes. The heights of the ornaments are shown. Using a calculator, order these ornaments from tallest to shortest
Triangle 2 3square foot
Diamond 3 2 square foot
Square 4 in
Here are the ornaments ordered from tallest to shortest:
1. Square - 4 in
2. Diamond - 3 2 square foot
3. Triangle - 2 3 square foot
To compare the heights of the ornaments, let's convert all the measurements to the same unit. Since we are given the heights in different units, we need to convert them to a common unit. Let's convert everything to inches for easier comparison.
Given:
Triangle: 2 3 square foot
Diamond: 3 2 square foot
Square: 4 in
1 square foot is equal to 144 square inches. So let's convert the first two ornaments to inches.
Triangle: 2 3 square foot = 2 * 144 + 3 = 291 inches
Diamond: 3 2 square foot = 3 * 144 + 2 = 434 inches
Now we have all the heights in inches. Let's order them from tallest to shortest:
Diamond: 434 inches
Triangle: 291 inches
Square: 4 inches
Therefore, the order of the ornaments from tallest to shortest is:
Diamond, Triangle, Square
