First you simply have to substitute 2 in replace of all the a's, and -2 in replace of all of the b's
4((2)2+2(-2))
Then you want to follow the order of operations, PEMDAS (Parantheses-Exponent-Multiplication-Division-Addition-Subtraction), and multiply within the parantheses.
4(4+(-4))
Next you will add within the parantheses (So add the 4 and -4 together)
4(0)
Lastly multiply
0
Your answer is 0
Hope this helps!
Answer:
the third side is 40 m long
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter of the triangle is the sum of its three sides, and they give you what that value in meters is (120 m)
Your are given the length of two of them: 30 m and 50 m, and need to find the third one (let's call it "x" for this unknown side)
Now set the following equation:
Perimeter = side 1 + side 2 + side 3 --> replace these with the info you know
120 m = 30 m + 50 m + x --> add 30 m and 50 m obtaining 80 m
120 m = 80 m + x --> now solve for x (isolate the x on one side) by subtracting 80 m from both sides
120 m - 80 m = x --> perform the subtraction 120 m - 80 m = 40 m
40 m = x
Which tells us that the third unknown side has a length of 40 m
Answer: True.
The ancient Greeks could bisect an angle using only a compass and straightedge.
Step-by-step explanation:
The ancient Greek mathematician <em>Euclid</em> who is known as inventor of geometry.
The Greeks could not do arithmetic. They had only whole numbers. They do not have zero and negative numbers.
Thus, Euclid and the another Greeks had the problem of finding the position of an angle bisector.
This lead to the constructions using compass and straightedge. Therefore, the straightedge has no markings. It is definitely not a graduated-rule.
As a substitute for using arithmetic, Euclid and the Greeks learnt to solve the problems graphically by drawing shapes .
