Answer:

And the answer may be 3/8 and 11/8 (among an infinite amount of different rational numbers less than 188 of the actual side length), as shwon below.

Explanation:

1) Calculate the side length of the bulletin board in the shape of a square:

The area of a square is equal to the square of length of the sides

A = x²

Substitute A = 150 unit²

150 = x²

Extract square root of both sides:

2) Find two rational numbers that are within, this is they are less than, 1/8 of the actual side length:    

Since, 12² = 144 and 13² = 169, the square root of 150 is between 12 and 13.

Then, you can pick any two whole numbers less than 13 and multiple them by 1/8.

Remember that multiplying by 1/8 is the same that dividing by 8.

Choose 12 and 11, for instance, and two rational numbers that are less than 1/8 of the actual side length are 12/8 and 11/8.

12/8 can be simplified to 3/2 and 11/8 is in its simplest form.

Thus, two rational numbers that are within 1/8 of the actual side length of the bulletin board are 3/2 and 11/8.

Step-by-step explanation:

hope this helps if does mark brainllest pls! :)

Area:-150sq units

  • Side be a

Now

  • a²=150
  • a=√150
  • a=√2×3×5×5
  • a=5√6

Now

  • Scale factor=1/8

So

new side length:-

  • 1/8(5√6)
  • 5/8√6

What is the difference in Fahrenheit degrees between a temperature of 0C and a temperature of 15C?
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

27^{\circ}F

Step-by-step explanation:

Use formula

F=1.8C+32

to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit.

When C_1=0^{\circ}C, then

F_1=1.8\cdot 0+32\\ \\F_1=32^{\circ}F

When C_2=15^{\circ}C, then

F_2=1.8\cdot 15+32\\ \\F_2=27+32=59^{\circ}F

Difference:

F_2-F_1=59^{\circ}F-32^{\circ}F=27^{\circ}F

Write an equation for the line that is parallel to the given line and that passes through the given point. y = –6x + 2; (–1, 2)
kap26 [50]
Parallel=same slope
Y=mx+b
Sub in the slope and point to solve for b
2=-6(-1)+b
2=6+b
2-6=b
-4=b
The equation is y=-6x-4; the answer is B
Hope this helps!
