A property from geometry states that rectangles have congruent opposite sides. Thus, no matter which diagonal Reggie cuts, it still has the same lengths. Since it's a rectangle and we cut from corner to corner, we create a right triangle. See the picture below:

<u>___________12 inches_______</u>

7 |

i |

n |

Because it's a rectangle, it won't matter which corner we cut. But if we fold at the cut lines, we would make an in the rectangle's center.

The cut line and two sides make a right triangle. One leg is 12, one leg is 7, and we need to find the third side. The Pythagorean Theorem - sum of the squares of the legs equals the square of the hypotenuse - is applied.

Let S = the length of the side from corner to corner

S² = 12² + 7²

S² = 144 + 49

S² = 193

S = √193 or -√193

Because we are dealing with lengths, we only want positive numbers. -√193 is not used. Thus S = √193

S = √193 = 13.8924439894

S = 18.92 (rounded to two places)


Thus, Reggie will cut 18.92 inches of paper.

Answer:

middle graph

Step-by-step explanation:

Soluton

The  second (middle ) graph is the only one that works.

  • First of all when you simplicity the right, you get y = x^2 - 1). That means that x does not go through 0,0. If you put x = 0 into x^ -  1 = 0, you get - 1. So on that basis alone both the first and third graphs are incorrect.
  • Second, both xs in the factors are plus, so x^2 is plus, which means the graph opens upward.

Consider the functions. F(x)=(x+1)2-4 and g(x)=-4|x+1| which statement compares the range of the functions?
Andreyy89

Answer:

<h2>        The fourth</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertex of f is (-1, -4) so its range is limited to y≥-4

|x+1| is always ≥0 therefore -|x+1| is always ≤0 {4 is insignificant to this - slope doesn't mean in range} so its range is limited to y≤0
