Answer:

Answer: 3.75 g

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume the weight of the square is x.

The hanger is in balance so the left side is equal to the right side.

Equation therefore is:

Triangle + Square + 3 * circle = 5* square + circle

3 + x + (3 * 6) = 5x + 6

3 + x + 18 = 5x + 6

5x - x = 3 + 18 - 6

4x = 15

x = 15/4

x = 3.75 g

Simplify -2 1/9 - (-4 1/9)

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest thing is to convert it to an improper fraction.

-2 1/9 turns into -19/9. -4 1/9 turns into -37/9.

-19/9 - (-37/9) here you would add because you are subtracting a negative number.

-19/9 + 37/9 change it to positive and then add.

-19+37=18

it was 18/9. that simplified is 2.

Answer:

The tree is 12 feet tall

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a represent the length of where the bird was sitting to the oak tree

let b represent the height of the tree

let c represent the length at which the bird flew

by pythagoras theorem

c²=a²+b²

b²=c²-a²

$b = \sqrt{ {c}^{2} - {a}^{2} }$

subtitute in the values

$b = \sqrt{ {15}^{2} - {9}^{2} }$

$b = \sqrt{225 - 81}$

$b = \sqrt{144}$

$b = 12$
