Which number has the smallest absolute value? -5/8 1/4

2 answers:

4 0

Well, the absolute value is basically the distance from 0 and distance is always positive. So, we need to compare 1/4 to 5/8. 1/4 is = to 2/8, so the absolute value of -5/8 is greater than the absolute value of 1/4. Hope this helps!

Which number has the smallest absolute value?

1/4 has the smallest absolute value because, it is closer to 0 on the number line. Since it is closer 0 on the number line it has a smaller distance. Where -5/8 is farther, which is a longer distance.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

∆ABC~ ∆XYZ

AB= 11 that is half of XY = 22

therefore XZ/2 = AC (base) = 32/2 = 16

and YZ /2 = BC(hypotenuse) = 44/2 = 22

(a= 11, b= 16, c= 22)

perimeter of a triangle

P = a+b+c

P= 11+16+22= 49

A local kids play sold 8 adult tickets and 9 child tickets for a total of $205. On day two they sold only 4 adult tickets and 3

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

The price of 1 adult ticket is $ 11 and price of 1 child ticket is $13

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the cost of 1 adult ticket

Let y be the cost of 1 child ticket

Cost of 8 adult tickets = 8x

Cost of 9 child tickets = 9y

We are given that A local kids play sold 8 adult tickets and 9 child tickets for a total of $205

So, 8x+9y=205 ----- 1

Cost of 4 adult tickets = 4x

Cost of 3 child tickets = 3y

We are given that 4 adult tickets and 3 child tickets for a total of $83.

4x+3y=83 ----2

Plot 1 and 2 on graph

8x+9y=205 -- Red line

4x+3y=83 -- Blue line

Intersection point provides the solution

So, Intersection point =(11,13)

So, The price of 1 adult ticket is $ 11 and price of 1 child ticket is $13

A right-angled triangle has sides of lengths (x+5)cm, (x-3)cm and 9cm. Calculate the value of x

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

x=4.0625 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem states that the square of the hypotenuse of a right triangle equals the sum of the squares of the two legs.

Not knowing which is the hypotenuse, lets assume that (x+5)cm is the hypotenuse:

(x+5)^2= 9^2+(x-3)^2

(x^2+10x+25)=81+(x^2-6x+9)

x^2+10x+25=81+x^2-6x+9

16x=65

x=4.0625

Checking:

(4.0625+5)^2=9^2+(4.0625-3)^2

82.1289=82.1289
