Simplify: Negative four and one-fifth minus negative thirteen and one-tenth

1 answer:

3 0

-4 1÷5 - (- 13 1÷10)

first we should turn these into improper fractions by multiplying the whole number by the denominator then add the numerator.

4 × 5 = 20 + 1 = 21
13 × 10 = 130 + 1 = 131

(-21/5) - (-131/10)

To subtract fractions we want to find a common denominator so we can multiply the numerator and denominator of (-21/5) by 2 to get (-42/10)

(-42/10) - (-131/10)

Since we are subtracting a negative, that becomes a positive

(-42/10) + 131/10

131 - 42 = 89

89/10

Now we can change it back into a mixed fraction:

8 and nine-tenths or 8 9÷10

Anna007 [38]

Answer: D: Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent

Step-by-step explanation:

If two triangle are congruent using postulate of theorems of congruence then their corresponding parts are congruent by CPCTC rule.

The CPCTC rule says that if two triangles are congruent then their each corresponding part whether angles or sides must be equal.

Here if triangle abc= def by side-side-side triangle congruence theorem,

then b=e [which is a corresponding part of both triangles] by Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent.

One factor in flood safety along a levee is the area that will absorb water should the levee break. The coordinates that make up

Anit [1.1K]

Let

$A(0,0)\\ B (2.8, 2.1)\\C(4.3, 4.4)$

using a graph tool

see the attached figure

The figure is a triangle

we know that

The Heron's Formula is a method for calculating the area of a triangle when you know the lengths of all three sides.

Hero's Formula is equal to

$Area=\sqrt{p*(p-a)*(p-b)*(p-c)}$

where

p is is half the perimeter of the triangle

a,b,c are the lengths of the sides of a triangle

Step $1$

Find the length sides of the triangle

a) Find the distance AB

$d =\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2} +(x2-x1)^{2}}$

Substitute

$d =\sqrt{(2.1-0)^{2} +(2.8-0)^{2}}$

$d =3.5\ mi}$

b) Find the distance AC

$d =\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2} +(x2-x1)^{2}}$

Substitute

$d =\sqrt{(4.4-0)^{2} +(4.3-0)^{2}}$

$d =6.15\ mi}$

c) Find the distance BC

$d =\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2} +(x2-x1)^{2}}$

Substitute

$d =\sqrt{(4.4-2.1)^{2} +(4.3-2.8)^{2}}$

$d =2.75\ mi}$

Step $2$

Find the perimeter of the triangle

$Perimeter= 3.5+6.15+2.75 =12.4\ mi$

Find the half of the perimeter

$p=\frac{12.4}{2} = 6.2\ mi$

Step $3$

Find the area of the triangle

$Area=\sqrt{6.2*(6.2-3.5)*(6.2-6.15)*(6.2-2.75)}$

$Area=\sqrt{6.2*(2.7)*(0.05)*(3.45)}$

$Area= 1.69\ mi^{2}$

therefore

the answer is the option

a) 1.65 mi^2.

kolezko [41]

It introduces the relationship between two variables and is called correlation. Proportionality or variation is state of relationship or correlation between two variables It has two types: direct variation or proportion which states both variables are positively correlation. It is when both the variables increase or decrease together. On the contrary, indirect variation or proportion indicates negative relationship or correlation. Elaborately, the opposite of what happens to direct variation. One increases with the other variables, you got it, decreases. This correlations are important to consider because you can determine and identify how two variables relates with one another. Notice x = y (direct), y=1/x (indirect)
