Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The cornerstone represents the year the building was built. . The year is written in Roman numerals.

STEP 2

We need to convert the Roman numerals to Arabic numerals. The Roman numerals are as follows- M =1000- D =500- C =100- L =50- X =10- V =5- I =1

STEP 3

Now, let's break down the Roman numerals in the given year, MDCCCLXV.
- M =1000- D =500- CCC =3 *100 =300- LX =50 +10 =60- V =5

STEP 4

Add all these values together to find the year the building was built.
Year=M+D+CCC+LX+VYear = M + D + CCC + LX + V

STEP 5

Plug in the values for each Roman numeral to calculate the year.
Year=1000+500+300+60+5Year =1000 +500 +300 +60 +5

STEP 6

Calculate the year the building was built.
Year=1000+500+300+60+5=1865Year =1000 +500 +300 +60 +5 =1865The building was built in the year1865.
