Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Please write points using parentheses: (4, 5) and (-4, 8}.

(4, 5) is in the 1st quadrant and (-4, 8} is in the 2nd. Reversing the order of these two points yields (-4, 8) and (4, 5). From this we can see that while moving from (-4, 8) to (4, 5) involves following a line with negative slope (because the y-coordinate decreases from 8 to 5 as the x-coordinate increases from -4 to +4). This sloping line is the hypotenuse of a right triangle. Draw a vertical line segment through (-4, 8) and a horizontal line segment through (4, 5). This hypotenuse, the vertical line segment and the horizontal line segment are the boundaries of the desired right triangle.

Persephone is creating a flower garden in her back yard. If she needs 30 pounds of soil per square foot of the flower garden, ho

Answer:

4,560 pounds of soil

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, based on the information given we are assuming that Persephone's garden is in the shape of a square or rectangle and the measurements 8 by 19 are in feet. That being the case we first need to calculate the square footage of the garden and we do this by multiplying the length by the width like so...

8 ft * 19 ft = 152 sq. ft.

Now that we know the square footage, we calculate how much soil is needed. Since the question states that she needs 30 pounds of soil per square foot then we multiply the square footage of the garden by 30.

152 sq. ft. * 30lb = 4,560lb

Finally, we can see that Persephone will need 4,560 pounds of soil for her garden.
