The tablet shown is a rectangle with its sides labeled. The drawing is NOT to scale. Each dimension has TWO sexagesimal places present (the ones and the sixties).
A) What is the length of the top (longer) side in base 10? Show calculations on your hand work.
B) What is the length of the right(shorter) side in base 10? Show calculations on your hand work.
C) What is the AREA of the rectangle in base 10? Show calculations on your hand work.
D) Use a gelosia grid in base-60 to calculate the area of the rectangle in base-60. Show your grid clearly. When you are done, recreate the drawing above on your page, including the numbers on top and side, but also write the area of the rectangle INSIDE the rectangle in cuneiform format. (You may want to use your base-10 value for the area of the rectangle and compare it to your answer in base-60!)
You need to SHOW your work for this problem carefully. You should start your work at the top of a clean sheet of lined paper...write your name and the problem number at the top of the page. Your work should be neat and organized so that I can understand your steps and your logic. Label all parts clearly. When you are done, take a picture of your work with a camera or scan your work into picture form. Then upload the file using the "Choose File" button to find your file on your computer. This problem will not be fully graded until after the assignment due date...your score may go up or down based on your hand work.
