I. About Writing a Spreadsheet:

Here is a spreadsheet that functions as a tipping table. It computes 15% and 20% of a list of amounts of money ranging from $15.00 to $45.00, in increments of $5.00. For example, if you go to a restaurant and run up a bill of $35.00, this table tells you that your recommended tip for good service should be between $5.25 and $7.00.

Here is the way I created the spreadsheet:

I opened Microsoft Excel. On the blank worksheet that appeared, I typed the text and formulas as shown below, then used the Edit / Fill / Down menu command to complete the table for me.

(Do column A first: Highlight cell A3, then click and drag so that A3 through A8 are highlighted, but A3 is still the active cell. When you give the Edit / Fill / Down command, you will get the values for $20 through $45 automatically. Then you can do columns B and C in one operation if you wish.)

The cells marked / / / / / show where I used the Fill Down feature. I used the Format / Cells / Currency command to express the amounts of money in their usual format. Raise your hand when you have successfully reproduced this worksheet.

II. Suppose we wish to create a spreadsheet showing the complement and supplement of angles ranging from 1 degree to 10 degrees, in 1-degree increments. Here is the finished spreadsheet.

Write in the text, numbers, or formulas required to create the spreadsheet shown above, if Edit / Fill / Down was used for all the spaces marked / / / / /.

III. Your assignment is to use a spreadsheet to create a table showing the following information about regular polygons:

Your spreadsheet should show this information for all regular polygons beginning with the triangle and ending with a polygon with 30 sides. Save your file to the \\stasrv\users\2005\yourname directory on the network and make a printout to hand in.
