Answer:

15 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Draw a triangle with a right angle.

2. Label all sides: A being the straight line which is standing vertically, B which is the base or the line which lays horizontally, and C will be the longest line on the triangle.

3. Make the C to be 17 ft.

4. Mark A as 8 ft.

5. Now use the Pythagorean Theorem: a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}

   8^{2} +b^{2} =17^{2}

6. Solve the equation:

8^{2}+b^{2}=17^{2}\\64+b^{2}=289\\b^{2}=225\\\sqrt{b^{2}}=\sqrt{225}\\b=15

1.

a) metres to centimetres :

multiply length by 100

b) metres to millimetres:

multiply length by 1000

c) kilograms to grams:

multiply the mass value by 1000

d) litres to millilitres :

multiply volume by 1000

2.

a) 3 m = 3× 100 = 300 cm

b) 28 cm = 28 × 10 = 280 mm

c) 2.4 km = 2.4 × 1000

= 24 × 10^-1 × 10^3

= 24 × 10^2 =2400 m

d) 485 mm =485 / 10

= 485 / 10 ^1

= 485 × 10 ^-1

= 48.5 cm

e) 35 cm = 35 / 100

= 35 /10^2

= 35 × 10 ^ -2

= 0.35 m

f) 2.4 m = 2.4 / 1000

= 24 × 10 ^-1 / 10^3

= 24 × 10^-1 × 10 ^-3

= 24 × 10 ^ -4

= 0.0024 km

g) 2495 mm = 2495 /1000

= 2495 /10^ 3

= 2495 × 10 ^-3

=2.495 m

Explain how you can use a number line to show that 5/8 is greater than 3/8
vladimir2022 [97]


You can start by drawing a number line and labeling it with eighths. ( 1/8, 2/8, etc.) Then you can place a dot on 3/8 and 5/8. From there, it's clear to see that 5/8 is greater than 3/8.

Answer: Choice A, -1540 feet

----------------------------------

Explanation:

Multiply the rate (44 ft per sec) by the number of seconds (35) to get 44*35 = 1540

The answer will be negative to indicate that the altitude has gone down. If you put in a positive change, then the altitude would go up. So that's why the answer is choice A

Note: when you multiply 44 ft/sec by 35 sec, the "second" units cancel out leaving just feet.

Another note: if you want, think of the 44 as -44 to indicate that the plane is decreasing at a rate of 44 ft/sec

zysi [14]

As far as I'm aware, you can't use the distributive property for a simple multiplication problem.  However, the answer to 9 x 76 is 684.  Hope this helped!
