In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Write each sentence on a separate line of lined paper, and focus on one section at a time. Make sure you write your cue lines as well, but consider highlighting them or writing them with a different color pen, so you don't confuse them for your own lines. Make sure you write freehand, since typing is not as effective for triggering memory. By writing your lines out, you're also using a different part of your brain than the part that gets used when you hear things aloud, so it can be a great addition to your memorization process. By focusing on one line at a time, you're creating a manageable goal for your brain to memorize. If you have a really short sentence, try memorizing two sentences at once. This might take anywhere from 30 seconds to 5 minutes, so be patient! Remember that everyone's brain works differently. Some people like to cover the previous line once they shift the paper down, while others like being able to see previous lines. Find a method that works for you. Doing this just once won't help you memorize all of your lines. You'll find that, after a few hours or days, you won't remember the exact phrasing or details. The only way to make sure you get all of your lines right is to repeat this process over the course of several days. When you memorize lines quickly, your brain is using short-term memory to remember them. After you step away or stop reading lines, your brain things you no longer need that information and "throws out" the short-term memory, undoing all of your hard memorizing work. However, if you take a nap, your brain shifts that information to your long-term memory, which helps you remember your lines! Alternately, you can go for a walk outside after memorizing a chunk of lines. Actors believe walking engages muscles that help with memorization. Practice your lines before going to bed. Your mind will actually still work on your memorization while your sleep!
Summary: Write your lines. Fold your sheet of paper so you can only see one line at a time. Repeat the line out loud until you've memorized it. Shift the paper down and memorize the next line. Repeat the process. Take a nap after learning a chunk of lines.

Sketch a trapezoid with the following measurements: left side of height b, right side of height a, and base of length a+b. Simply connect the tops of the left and right sides to complete the trapezoid. Divide the base of the triangle into lengths a and b so that two right triangles of lengths a, b, and c is formed. The third triangle will have two sides of length c and a hypotenuse of length d. The two smaller triangles are congruent (identical). The area of a trapezoid is: A = (b1 + b2)h where b1 is one straight side of the trapezoid, b2 is the other straight side of the trapezoid, and h is the height of the trapezoid. For this trapezoid: b1 is a, b2 is b, and h is a+b. The area of this trapezoid is A = (a +b)(a+b) . Expanding the binomial yields: A = (a2 + 2ab + b2). The area of a right triangle is: A = bh where b is the base of the triangle and h is the height. This trapezoid has been broken into three different triangles; therefore, the areas need to be added together. First, find the area of each one and then add all three together. Because two of the triangles are identical, you can simply multiply the area of the first triangle by two: 2A1 = 2(bh) = 2(ab) = ab. The area of the third triangle is A2 = bh = c*c = c2. The total area of the trapezoid is A1 + A2 = ab + c2. Because both of these calculations are equal to the total area of the trapezoid, you can set them equal to each other. Once they're set equal to each other, you can reduce the equation to its simplest form. (a2 + 2ab + b2) = ab + c2. Multiply both sides by 2 to get rid of the : (a2 + 2ab + b2) = 2ab + c2. Subtract out the 2ab: a2 + b2 = c2. You're left with the proof: a2 + b2 = c2.

One-sentence summary -- Draw a trapezoid with base a+b and sides a and b. Divide the trapezoid into three right triangles, two of which are congruent. Calculate the area of the trapezoid using the area formula. Find the area by summing the areas of the three triangles. Set the different area calculations equal to each other.

Problem: Article: Giving a baby a bath in a hotel room can pose all sorts of problems, so it is always best to call ahead to know what you will be dealing with. For example, the bathroom may not have enough floor space for you to comfortably kneel beside the tub to bathe the baby. In addition, although most bathrooms contain a bathtub, some hotel rooms have only a shower stall. When making reservations at a hotel, you should ask about the bathroom to be sure that it is appropriate for giving your baby a bath. If it doesn't sound like the originally planned hotel room will work, you can ask for a different room or make reservations at a different hotel. While the tub is filling, you should set up the bath essentials before your baby is put in the tub. You should put yourself where you will be while bathing the baby and make sure that everything is easy to reach. If the tub is set up differently from the one at home, you should have a plan for getting the baby in and out of the tub smoothly. After everything is ready, you can undress the baby and proceed with the bath just as you would at home. It might seem like a strange thing to do at a hotel or relative's home, but it may ease your mind if you at least put some water in the tub and wipe it down with a separate washcloth before giving your baby a bath. This is because you have no real knowledge about when the tub was cleaned last, how thoroughly it was cleaned, and what type of chemicals were used to clean it. Wetting the tub and wiping it down with a washcloth removes any surface dirt and chemical residue that might be present. Along with the actual physical arrangement of bathrooms, at both a relative's home and a hotel, there may also be a difference in how quickly the water becomes hot and the temperature that it reaches. This is something you won't know until you are actually getting the bath ready, but it needs to be done for every bath that the baby is given while away from home. The bathwater may vary in temperature from one bath to another, due to high demand from other users in the building, an old or faulty water heater, or any number of other reasons. Although it isn't very common, there is also the possibility that the water might not be as clean and clear as it is at home. For example, some older homes, and possibly hotels, may have pipework that is rusty and the rust may cause the water to be cloudy or tinged. This is usually cleared up by letting the water run for a few minutes before plugging the drain in the tub.
Summary:
Call ahead to your hotel to determine the best way to bathe your baby. Prepare the bathing supplies to make the bath easier. Rinse the tub before bathing. Check the water to make sure it is safe and comfortable for your baby.
