Let length of the hypotenuse = 3x and length of given leg be x feet.
then (3x)^2 = x^2 + 648
8x^2 = 648
x^2 = 81
so x = 9 and 3x = 27
Hypotenuse is 27 feet and the leg equals 9 feet.
The diameter is 46 and the radius is 11.5
Well, in the first one, 2 degrees below zero is -2 degrees, and then it says that it dropped 14 degrees, which means it dropped -14 degrees, so to know the total amount it dropped you would just have to add -2 plus -14 which is -16 degrees, so your answer for the first question would be the last answer, -16 degrees.
For the second question, just know that whenever a negative number is BY ITSELF in parentheses, that means it is used like a positive number in the equation. So (-12) automatically becomes 12. Now, since the problem is asking for a SUM, (the answer to an ADDITION problem; when you add instead of subtract), you would turn that minus symbol to a plus symbol, and add normally to get your final answer; 30 + 12 = 42. To check if this is correct, just type in <span>30 – (–12) to a calculator and you'll get the same answer! :D
Hope this helps! :3</span>

Answer:
3 < b-a < 7
Step-by-step explanation:
The maximum difference will occur when the smallest 'a' value is subtracted from the largest 'b' value:
9 -2 = 7
The minimum difference will occur when the largest 'a' value is subtracted from the smallest 'b' value:
7 -4 = 3
So, the possible range of values of b-a is ...
3 < b-a < 7
