Well the question doesnt show any number for a side or anything but we can solve this with algebra if we say that a side from one base to next has a length of x. so we know each side has length x and that the shape they make is square. This means we are only searching for the diagonal of a square.

remember that a diagonal forms and isoscoles right triangle with the 2 sides being equal and the diagonal as the hypotenuse. Using the pythagoream theorem we can say that
a^2 + b^2 = c^2

we said all side lengths are x so we can put x in for a and b and get

x^2 + x^2 = c^2

2x^2 = c^2

c = x * squareroot(2)

that is the basic fundamental answer that will always work when working with diagonals of squares.

so if the length between bases is 90 ft, we could plug this in and get
c = 90 ft * squareroot(2)
c = 127.28 ft

Suzi bought 5 packages of M&amp;M's, and each package contained 18 candy pieces. She opened the first package and counted 4 gree
Leni [432]

Answer: The correct answer is option B: There are between 15 and 20 green pieces in all 5 packages

Step-by-step explanation: The most important factor has been given which is, "Which statement about the candy pieces in the remaining packages is best supported by this information."

The information given is such that, the first package she opened had 4 green pieces and on this basis we can safely assume that all other packages have 4 green pieces as well. The second package had 3 green pieces and this based on this too we can safely assume that all other packages had 3 green pieces. Hence, all 5 packages can either have a total of 4 x 5 green candies which equals a total of 20 green pieces or, all 5 packages can have a total of 3 x 5 green candies which equals a total of 15 green pieces.

So according to Suzi's experiment, there are between 15 and 20 green pieces in all 5 packages.

I’m like super confused can somebody help me please?
Nezavi [6.7K]

Equations are steeper when their slope's positive value is higher (ignore negatives when determining how steep a slope is). The slope is the value in front of x. If there isn't a value in front of x, then it is assumed to be 1.
