Here is the two-part question...

a. It's calendar math time again! The date March 7, 2010 can be written in shorthand as...
3-7-10

Notice that this is an addtion problem between the month, date, and year.

Can you find the four dates that have and/or will occur this year that will be multiplication problems? Please write your answers in regular date form (for example, March 7, 2010).

b. This is question #34 on pg. 519 in your Geometry textbook. The sides of parallelogram MNPQ are represented by the expressions below.

MQ = -2x + 37, QP = y + 14, NP = x - 5, MN = 4y + 5

Sketch this parallelogram and find the values of x, y, and the perimeter of parallelogram MNPQ.
