Copy this table and paste it into either Excel or the Layout Module of POM for Windows. Note that although there is only one copy$$ icon, all necessary data to complete the problem is included.

In$$ general, unless there are multiple copy icons within an$$ exercise, all necessary data to complete the problem is contained within the one copy icon.$$ However, there are always$$ exceptions, and in some cases there will be data contained within the problem statement that will need to be entered by hand into Excel or POM.$$ So$,$ as a general$$ rule, always double check what data was actually contained within the paste before solving the question.

Before solving a question using Excel or$$ POM, you should always double check what data was contained in the paste to make sure there is not additional information contained in the problem statement that needs to be entered by hand.
