Answer:13.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given diagonal as 15.6inches

Width is unknown

Height is 7.8 inches

From the diagram attached it forms a right angle solved using Pythagoras theorem

Ie

15.6^2=width^2+7.8^2

Width= ✓(15.6^2-7.8^2)=13.5inches

Answer: The width of the screen is 13.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation: The diagonal has been given as 15.6 inches while the height has been given as 7.8 inches.

Note that the diagonal is the length across the screen, which is equivalent to an hypotenuse. with the hypotenuse given as well as one of the other two sides, we can solve for the unknown side by using the Pythagoras theorem which states that;

AC² = AB² + BC²

Where AC is the hypotenuse and AB and BC are the other two sides.

Substituting for the known values we now have

15.6² = 7.8² + BC²

243.36 = 60.84 + BC²

Subtract 60.84 from both sides of the equation

182.52 = BC²

Add the square root sign to both sides of the equation

√182.52 = √BC²

13.5099 = BC

Therefore the width of the screen is approximately 13.5 inches

What is the equivalent fraction? Drag the answer into the box to match the decimal. 0.7¯ ​799​​79​​70100​​711​
Vesna [10]
The equivalent fraction for 0.7 is 70/100.
 
You know this because 0.7 is the same as 7/10.

7/10 is the same as 70/100 when we create 7 groups of 10 (numerator) and 10 groups of 10 (denominator).

Also, placing a zero to the right of any number on the right hand side of the decimal point will not change the value.

0.70 is 70/100

Find the ordered pair whose x-coordinate is 5. 4x=6y+8
sukhopar [10]

(6, 2 )

substitute x = 5 into the equation and solve for y

6y + 8 = 20 ( subtract 8 from both sides )

6y = 12 ( divide both sides by 6 )

y = \frac{12}{6} = 2

the ordered pair is (5, 2 )

Is 95.045 greater than less than or <br> equal two 95.545
LekaFEV [45]
Less then.. The first two numbers before the decimal are the same 95.  After the decimal is where you'll see the change. Your first number is .045 and the second one is .545.. "0," is less than "5."
