8.2 Ounces because it says a HORSESHOE Weighs. They threw in the nails weight to throw you off.

8.2=82/10

0.2=1/5

---------------------

1/5*82/10=82/50

---------------------

82/10-82/50

=820/100-164/100

=656/100

=6.56

Answer: 6.56 ounces

Answer:

See Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Paragraph Proof:

We are given that ∠1 ≅ ∠4. ∠1 and ∠4 are alternate exterior angles. Since they are congruent, by the Alternate Exterior Angles Converse, the two lines being cut by the transversal must be parallel. Then by the Alternate Interior Angles Theorem, ∠3 ≅ ∠2.

2-Column Proof

Statements Reasons:

1) $\angle 1\cong \angle 4$ Given

2) $\text{The two lines are parallel}$ Alternate Exterior Angles Converse

3) $\angle 3\cong \angle 2$ Alternate Interior Angles Theorem

I would write a flowchart as well, but unfortunately, I never learned it that way.

What is the distance between the points (-3,-11 and (-3,23) in the coordinate plane?

11111nata11111 [884]

Distance= the square root of (x2-x1)^2 +(y2-y1)^2 so (-3-(-3))^2 + (23-(-11))^2= 0^2+34^2=
0+1156= 1156 and the square root of that is 34 so your final answer is 34
