Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

|x - 16| less than/equal to 4

Means x can be between;

-4+16 and 4+16, i.e [12,20]

|y - 6| less than/equal to 2

Means x can be between,

-2+6 and 2+6, i.e [4,8]

x - y would be greatest when x is greatest and y is least:

20 - 4 = 16

sergejj [24]

Answer:

1. HL

2. SAS

3. SSS

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangles ABR and ACR share side AR (hypotenuse of two right triiangles).

Angles ABR and ACR are right angles.

Sides AB and AC are congruent.

Sides BR and CR are congruent.

1. You can use HL theorem, because two triangles have congruent pair of legs and congruent hypotenuses.

2. You can use SAS theorem, because two triangles have two pairs of congruent legs and a pair of included right angles between these legs.

3. You can use SSS theorem, because two triangles have two pairs of congruent legs and  congruent hypotenuses.

Mr. Horn had a sheet of plywood that measured 84 inches long and 65 inches wide. He sawed th sheet of plywood in half. What was
Fofino [41]
Draw a rectangle with one side equal to 84 in. and the other side equal to 65 in. We know that area = l*w, so the area of the rectangle is 5,460 sq. in. Since Mr. Horn cut the piece of plywood in half, he produces two identical pieces of plywood, with half the amount of area as the original. So, 5,460 sq. in. divided by 2 = 2,730 sq. in.
