The square root of 64 is 8, or -8

This is because 8 times 8 is 64

And -8 times -8 is 64 (because a negative times a negative is a positive)

The square root of 64 has both a negative and positive value because as we know it's 8 and -8. To square, you simply multiply the number by its self twice, since a negative number time a negative number is a positive number and a positive number times a positive number is also positive so -8x-8=64 and 8x8=64.

Hope this helped!

Answer: 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since $\overline{GH} \parallel \overline{DE}$ , by the corresponding angles theorem, $\angle FGH \cong \angle FDE, \angle FHG \cong \angle FED$ . This means $\triangle FGH \sim \triangle FDE$ by AA.

As corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional,

$\frac{10}{x+3}=\frac{10+x}{12}\\(10)(12)=(10+x)(x+3)\\120=x^{2}+13x+30\\x^{2}+13x-90=0\\(x+18)(x-5)=0\\x=-18, 5$
However, as distance must be positive, we consider the positive solution, x=5.

Therefore, the answer is <u>5</u>

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

225

Step-by-step explanation:

We're told that each carton holds two dozen eggs, or 24 eggs. To find out how many cartons the farm will need, we divide the total amount of eggs by the amount of eggs that fit in each carton. So:

$\frac{5398}{24} = 224.916667$
