The slant height, x, is 7.5 mm because you use the pythagorean formula and solve for c, since the you're solving for the hypotenuse which is the longest side.
First we would change the fractions into decimals and compare them. That way it would be easy to solve when needed.
1/2=0.50
5/8=0.625
1/8=0.125
Now we can see that 1/8 (0.125) is the smallest, followed by 1/2 (0.50), and 5/8 the largest. Now we can match the sizes with the insects.
Since the tiger beetle is the largest we will place that with the length of 5/8 since that is the largest.
The carpenter ant is second largest so it would be matched with 1/2
The aphid is the smallest so that would be with 1/8 as the smallest

X values are increasing by 2
y values are increasing by 4
Mark is correct
