Answer: The required ratio is,

$2:5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The number of cats = 8,

Number of dogs = 20,

Thus, the ratio of cats and dogs = $\frac{\text{number of cats}}{\text{number of dogs}}$

$=\frac{8}{20}$

LCM(8, 20) = 4

$=\frac{8\div 4}{20\div 4}$

$=\frac{2}{5}$

A square rug covers 79 square feet of floor. What is the approximate length of one side of the rug? (Approximate to the nearest

Mice21 [21]

A = a^2.....where " a " is the length of one side
A = 79

79 = a^2...take sqrt of both sides, eliminating the ^2
sqrt 79 = a
8.89 = a

so the length of one side is approximately 8.89 ft <==

Whitepunk [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{Let}\ A(x_1,\ y_1)\ \text{and}\ B(x_2,\ y_2).\ \text{Then the distance between}\ A\ \text{and}\ B\ \text{is:}\\\\|AB|=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y1)^2}\\\\Example:\\\\A(2,\ 5),\ B(-1,\ 1)\\\\|AB|=\sqrt{(-1-2)^2+(1-5)^2}=\sqrt{(-3)^2+(-4)^2}=\sqrt{9+16}=\sqrt{25}=5$
