Answer: 16 small squares

why?
since this is a square mosaic, all four sides have equal numbers of glass squares
if you think about one glass square as one unit, the scenario can be considered through the equation 256=x^{2} -- where x is the number of glass squares per side ( remember, area of square = x^{2} )
so, to solve the equation, you find the square root of 256, which is 16!

~hope it makes sense~

To do this, you got to square 256.

The square root of 256 is 16.

Therefore, there are 16 small squares on each edge of the mosaic.

Kinda proof:

o  o  o  o  O
o  o  o  o  O
o  o  o  o  O
o  o  o  o  O

25 squares. Square root is 5. 5 along each edge. My work shares same concept.

Extremely unnecessary proof:

There are 256 squares, and you can count 16 on each edge. this shows 16 times 16, or 16 squared, which is 256.

How far apart in feet are Marcus and Joel. Please round your answer to the nearest tenth of a foot
Pavel [41]

Answer:

The distance between Marcus and Joel is approximately 127.3 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distances between Jean to Joel, Jean to Marcus and Marcus to Joel form a right triangle where the distance from Marcus to Joel is the hypothenuse. We can measure the distance from Jean to Marcus and Jean to Joel by using the grid provided, since they're along the same axis. This is shown below:

d(Jean, Marcus) = Jean(x) - Marcus(x) = 100 - 10 = 90 feet

d(Jean, Joel) = Jean(y) - Joel(y) = 90 - 0 = 90 feet

We can apply the pythagora's theorem to find the distance between Marcus and Joel.

d(Marcus,Joel)² = d(Jean,Marcus)² + d(Jean,Joel)²

d(Marcus,Joel)² = (90)² + (90)²

d(Marcus,Joel)² = 2*(90)²

d(Marcus, Joel) = sqrt(2*(90)²) = 90*sqrt(2) = 127.279 feet

The distance between Marcus and Joel is approximately 127.3 feet.

Businesses deposit large sums of money into bank accountsImagine an account with $10 million dollars in it.
adoni [48]

again, let's assume daily compounding means 365 days per year.

~~~~~~ \textit{Simple Interest Earned} \\\\ I = Prt\qquad \begin{cases} I=\textit{interest earned}\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill & \$10000000\\ r=rate\to 2.12\%\to \frac{2.12}{100}\dotfill &0.0212\\ t=years\dotfill &1 \end{cases} \\\\\\ I = (10000000)(0.0212)(1)\implies \boxed{I=212000}

~~~~~~ \textit{Compound Interest Earned Amount} \\\\ A=P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt} \quad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill &\$10000000\\ r=rate\to 2.12\%\to \frac{2.12}{100}\dotfill &0.0212\\ n= \begin{array}{llll} \textit{times it compounds per year}\\ \textit{daily, thus 365} \end{array}\dotfill &365\\ t=years\dotfill &1 \end{cases}

A=10000000\left(1+\frac{0.0212}{365}\right)^{365\cdot 1}\implies A\approx 10214256.88 \\\\\\ \underset{\textit{earned interest amount}}{10214256.88~~ - ~~10000000 ~~ \approx ~~ \boxed{214256.88}}

what's their difference?  well

\stackrel{\textit{compounded daily}}{\approx 214256.88}~~ - ~~\stackrel{\textit{simple interest}}{212000}\implies \boxed{2256.88}

7x+16=8x+15 solve for x and y
elena55 [62]

Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

7x + 16 = 8x + 15

<u>Step 1</u> : Subtract 15 on both sides

7x + 16 - 15 = 8x

7x + 1 = 8x

<u>Step 2</u> : Subtract 7x on both sides

1 = 8x - 7x

1 = 1x

x = 1
