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

Answer:

  64.6

Step-by-step explanation:

One standard deviation is 4.3. Then +2 standard deviations is ...

  (+2)(4.3) = +8.6

This amount added to the mean gives ...

  56 +8.6 = 64.6 . . . . +2σ from the mean

36% of 24..... or 0.36 times 24= 8.64
22% of 24......or 0.22 times 24= 5.28

8.64-5.28= 3.36. D.

The measure of two complementary angles are in the ratio 1:4. What are the degree measures of the two angles ?
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

18,72

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angles add to 90 degrees

Multiply the ratio by x

1x+4x = 90

Combine like terms

5x = 90

divide by 5

5x/5 = 90/5

x =18

The first angle is 18 degrees

4*18 =72

The second angle is 72 degrees

What is the slope of the line that contains the points (4,-1) and (-1,4)
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

the slope is -1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope, we use the formula

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

   = (4--1)/ (-1-4)

   = (4+1)/(-5)

  = 5/-5

  = -1
