Use complete sentences to describe how measurements of position in two directions (vertical and horizontal) are sufficient enoug
posledela

Answer:

We know that our world is in 3 dimensions i.e. there are three directions and so, three co-ordinates are required.

Now, if we have to find a position of an object lying on a flat surface, this means that there are only two directions and so, two co-ordinates are needed.

So, we can define the domain ( xy-axis ) in such a way that there are two axis - horizontal where right area have positive values & left area has negative values and vertical where upward side have positive values & downward side has negative values.

For e.g. if we want to find the position of a pen on the table. We will make our own xy-axis and see in which quadrant the pen lies.

Let us say that the pen lies at (2,3), this means that the position of pen is in the first quadrant or it is 2 units to the right of y-axis and 3 units up to the x-axis.

This way we can see that two directions are sufficient to find the position of an object placed on a flat surface.

What is the perimeter of a square whose diagonal is 3 square root 2? Show all work on how you got your answer
Alika [10]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Diagonal of square= 3\sqrt{2}

To find the perimeter of square, we need to find the length of sides of square.

∴ Using the formula of diagonal to find side of square.

Formula; Diagonal= s\sqrt{2}

Where, s is side of square.

⇒ 3\sqrt{2} = s\sqrt{2}

Dividing both side by √2

⇒s= \frac{3\sqrt{2} }{\sqrt{2} }

∴s= 3

Hence, Length of side of square is 3.

Now, finding the perimeter of square.

Formula; Perimeter= 4s

⇒Perimeter= 4\times 3

∴ Perimeter= 12

Hence, Perimeter of square is 12.

Write the equation of a line, in general form, that has an slope of zero and a y-intercept of (0,4).
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

y - 4 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

They give you the y coordinate, 4, and the x coordinate as 0.

Put 4 in as y.

4 - 4 = 0. That means x = 0 and that is right.

To make sure it has a slope of zero, subtract 4 on both sides.

You get : y = 4. This means that the line will be straight and it will have a slope of zero.

The use of "arts" in line 51 most directly
Sloan [31]

The correct answer is option b) expertise Mrs. Deverell brought to her household tasks.

The use of "arts" in line 51 most directly emphasizes the expertise Mrs. Deverell brought to her household tasks.

"She felt as if she had squandered her time gaining talents that would eventually be useless to her.

Her weather-eye for a good drying day, her keen ear for evaluating the gentle singing sound of meat roasting in the oven, her touch for the freshness of meat, and her ability to detect if a cake had been cooked by smelling it were all examples of these talents.

These practices, which took a long time to develop, are no longer practiced." - From the context, it is evident that "arts" refers to Mrs. Deverell's ability with household chores.
