You could easily change the 2 1/2 to a 2.5 and do 2.5-6=-3.5

and

, or as a rounded decimal 85.28 and 85.28.
To find the smallest possible sum of roots for any product, the answer is always whatever numbers are closest together. This fact can be derived by the fact that the greatest area we can enclose with a given length is a perfect square. So we can take the square root of 7272 and use that, since they will be exactly the same number.
If you are looking for whole numbers, you would have to go up or down until you find a factor of 7272 closest to the square root. In this case that would be 72 and 101.
Answer:
P(A∪B) = 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Red Garments = 1 red shirt + 1 red hat + 1 red pairs of pants
Total Red Garments = 3
Green Garments = 1 green shirt + 1 green scarf + 1 green pairs of pants
Total Green Garments = 3
The total number of garments = Total Red Garments + Total Green Garments:
3 + 3 = 6
Let A be the event that he selects a green garment
P(A) = Number of required outcomes/Total number of possible outcomes
P(A) = 3/6
Let B be the event that he chooses a scarf
P(B) = 1/6
The objective here is to determine P(A or B) = P(A∪B)
Using the probability set notation theory:
P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)
P(A∩B) = Probability that a green pair of pant is chosen = P(A) - P(B)
= 3/6-1/6
= 2/6
P(A∪B) = 1/2 + 1/6 - 2/6
P(A∪B) = 2/6
P(A∪B) = 1/3
Let's go through the choices one by one
------------------------------------------
Choice A
If all sides are congruent, then this figure is a rhombus (by definition). If all angles are congruent, then we have a rectangle. Combine the properties of a rhombus with the properties of a rectangle and we have a square.
In terms of "algebra", you can think
rhombus+rectangle = square
Or you can draw out a venn diagram. One circle represents the set of all rhombuses; another circle represents the set of all rectangles. The overlapping region is the set of all squares. The overlapping region is inside both circles at the same time.
So we can rule out choice A. This guarantees we have a square when we want something that isn't a guarantee.
------------------------------------------
Choice B
If we had a parallelogram with perpendicular diagonals, then we can prove that we have a rhombus (all four sides congruent). However, we don't know anything about the four angles of this parallelogram. Are they congruent? We don't know. So we can't prove this figure is a rectangle. The best we can say is that it's a rhombus. It may or may not be a rectangle. There isn't enough info about the rectangle & square part.
This is why choice B is the answer. We have some info, but not enough to be guaranteed everytime.
------------------------------------------
Choice C
This is a repeat of choice A. Having "all right angles" is the same as saying "all angles congruent". This is because "right angle" is the same as saying "90 degrees". So we can rule out choice C for identical reasons as we did with choice A.
------------------------------------------
Choice D
As mentioned before in choice A, if we know that a quadrilateral is a rectangle and a rhombus at the same time, then the figure is also a square. This is always true, so we are guaranteed to have a square. We can cross choice D off the list.
------------------------------------------
Once again, the final answer is choice B
