It is nonsense. Penny claims she is going to to make it LARGER than life size. Therefore the fraction would have to be improper. The fraction stated would be making something SMALLER than life size.

It would be nonsense, as if the beetle were at normal size, then it would be considered 1/1 as a scale. If you wanted to increase it, you would increase the numerator.

A quadrilateral is a four-sided regular polygon.

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral.

The opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel and equal in length.

The opposite angles of a parallelogram are also equal.

In this case the quadrilateral is defined as follows:

  • two angles that each measure 60°
  • two angles that each measure 120°
  • Only two of the sides have a length of 3.2 inches.

Consider the quadrilateral ABCD below.

im assuming that you need the equation of the table

to find slope, y2-y1/x2-x1    10-4/-2-0

6/-2=-3   slope=-3  

y=mx+b   just sub in the numbers from a point in the table

10=-3(-2)+b

10=6+b

b=4

y=-3x+b

A cave explorer is at an elevation of negative 38 feet. The explorer starts moving at a rate of negative 12 feet per minute. Ide
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

-38 - 12x < 200

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The original elevation = -38 feet,

Also, the explorer starts moving at a rate of negative 12 feet per minute.

So, the distance covered by explorer after x minutes = -12x feet,

Thus, the final elevation = original elevation +  distance covered by explorer

= -38 - 12x

According to the question,

final elevation < -200 feet

⇒ -38 - 12x < 200

Which is the required inequality.
