To answer this you will need to determine which area made with the 12 square tiles would give the shortest perimeter.

Think of all the combinations to get 12 square inches
1x12, 2x6, and 3x4. The perimeters of these are 26 in, 16 in, and 14 in.

You should arrange your tiles using the 3 x 4 option. You would need 14 stones.

What is the approximate volume of one refraction cup? What’s its formula ?
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Volume = 0.1696 L

The formula is Area of base of refraction cup × Depth of the refraction cup

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimensions of a refraction cup are;

Diameter = 120 mm

Depth = 30 mm

Therefore, volume of the refraction cup = Area of base × Depth

Volume of the refraction cup = (π×120²/4)/2 × 30 = 169646.003 mm³

1 L = 1000000 mm³

Therefore, 169646.003 mm³ = 169646.003/1000000 m³ = 0.1696 L

The formula is Area of base of refraction cup × Depth of the refraction cup.

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

|x-5|=2

Step-by-step explanation:

1- Find the mid value between the given numbers 3 and 7

(3+7)/2= 10/2 = 5

2- Find the difference btween the mid value (5) and any of the two given numbers (3 or 7). Use the absolute value for the difference.

|5-3|= 2 or |7-5|=2

3- Arrange the absolute equation like this:

|x-mid value from step 1|= absolute difference from step 2

|x-5|=2

4- Double check the answer with the given values 3 and 7 using our equation |x-5|=2

|3-5|=2 correct

|7-5|=2 correct

What does the number line above represent?
sattari [20]
It is the last one. A closed circle means less than or equal to, so that crosses out the top two. The third says five is greater and we know that is not true because the line is decreasing in value. It must be the fourth.
