a) 9/212 = #mph
b)0.000142045 Miles / 0.000277778 hours = # mph
Step-by-step explanation:
a) 9/212 = #mph
b)
1)9 inches divide the length value by 63360 is 0.000142045 Miles
2) 1 hour 3600 seconds in ones hour so 1/3600 =0.000277778
3) take miles/hour
0.000142045 Miles / 0.000277778 hours = # mph
The Prudhoe Bay oil spill, which occurred in 2006 in Alaska, is an example of a American oceanic disaster.
five less than the product of a number and-8 is -77
-8n -5 = -77
add 5 to each side
-8n = -72
divide by -8
n =9
Answer:
A. 5 ft, 4 ft, 3 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
When you use the Pythagorean theorem with the numbers of the first choice, you find that these could be the sides of a right triangle:
3² + 4² = 9 + 16 = 25 = 5²
__
You have found the correct answer at this point.
_____
If you want to check, you can examine the other choices:
C: 6² +10² = 136 ≠ 11²
B: 2² +4² = 20 ≠ 6²
D: 5² +10² = 125 ≠ 15²
_____
<em>Comment on 3-4-5 triangle</em>
As you can see from the above, side measures of 3, 4, and 5 will form a right triangle. This is the smallest set of integers that will do so. It is also the ratios of the only set of side lengths in arithmetic progression that will do so.
This latter fact can help you rule out choices B and D in this problem, because each of those has sides in the progression 1 : 2 : 3.
(3, 4, 5) triangles come up often in algebra and geometry problems. This is a useful "Pythagorean triple" to remember.
2.07 divided by 0.9 is 2.3
