Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The range = 2 = (greatest number in the set) - (lowest number in the set)

→ If we took x < 1 then the range would be 3 - x > 3 - 1 then 3 - x > 2 which is impossible ,therefore x could not be less than 1

→ If we took x > 3 then the range would be x - 1 > 3 - 1 then x - 1 > 2 which is impossible ,therefore x could not be higher than 3

<h3><u><em>Conclusion</em></u>: </h3>

1 ≤ x ≤ 3

then

x = 1 or x = 2 or x = 3

The width of a rectangle is 4 feet and the diagonal length of he rectangle is 13 feet what is the measurement is the closest to

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

The length is APPROXIMATELY equal to 12.4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the converse of the Pythagorean Theorem ( $a^{2}$ + $b^{2}$ = $c^{2}$ [where "c" is both the longest side and the hypotenuse]) since a rectangle's diagonals will always cut it into two right triangles:

$13^{2} = 169$

$4^{2} =16$

169-16=153.

$\sqrt{153}$ ≈ 12

$\sqrt{153}=12.36931688$

or if the problem has to be exact (using radicals)

3* $\sqrt{17}$

I hope this helps ;)
