Answer:

The lenght of the diagonal is 7.1cm

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to calculate how much each side of the square measures

p = perimeter = 20cm

s = side

p = 4 * s

we replace with the known values

20cm = 4 * s

20cm / 4 = s

5cm = s

Each side of the square measures 5cm

To calculate one side of a right triangle from the other 2 sides we have to use Pythagoras

h = hypotenuse

a = leg 1 = 5cm

b = leg 2 = 5cm

h² = a² + b²

we replace the known values

h² = (5cm)² + (5cm)²

h² = 25cm² + 25cm²

h² = 50cm²

h = √(50cm²)

h = 7.07cm

Round to the nearest tenth

h = 7.07cm = 7.1cm

The length of the hypotenuse is 7.1cm

The hypotenuse of the triangle is the diagonal of the square

Calculate how much each size per gram, and circle which gives the best value for money. 250g for $2.30, 400g for &3.40, 1Kg

Bezzdna [24]

To do this, we must set up ratios:
Option One:
$\frac{2.30}{250g} \\ \frac{0.0092}{1g} \\ 0.0092/g$
The first options costs only $0.0092/gram (a fraction of a penny)!
Option Two:
$\frac{3.40}{400g} \\ \frac{0.0085}{1g} \\ 0.0085/g$
The second option costs only $0.0085/gram (cheaper than option one)!
Option Three:
This requires a little more work. First, we have to convert the grams into kilograms. For every 1 kg, there is 1,000 g. Therefore, 1,000g costs $5.65. Next, we set up the ratio as usual:
$\frac{5.65}{1000g} \\ \frac{0.00565}{1g} \\ 0.00565/g$
The third option costs $0.00565/gram.

Therefore, option three is the cheapest!

Hope this helps!

List all the pairs of integers with a product of 36. then find the pair whose sum is 20

RoseWind [281]

This is an excellent practice for the solution of quadratic equations.

1*36=36 => (1,36)
2*18=36 => (2,18)
3*12=36 => (3,12)
4*9=36 => (4,9)
6*6=36 => (6,6)
9*4=36 => (9,4)
12*3=36 => (12,3)
18*2=36 => (18,2)
36*1=36 => (36,1)

We can see that the sum decreases until the two factors are close (or equal) and then increases again.

The pair of integers with a sum of 20 is therefore (2,18) or (18,2).

Given: p: 2x = 16 q: 3x – 4 = 20 Which is the converse of p → q?

valentina_108 [34]

It seems like the details of what p and q are in this context aren't all that important; it's the logical structure of the statement "p⇒q" we need to look at. We read that logical statement as "p implies q," where p is our hypothesis and q is our conclusion. When we take the converse of a logical statement, we reverse the hypothesis and the conclusion. In this case, p wouldn't imply q, but q would imply p in the converse of p⇒q. We'd write this statement as:

q⇒p
