Answer:

The correct option is (A).

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that a scale measures weight to the nearest 0.1 pounds. Our task is to find the most appropriate way to report the weight using this scale.

We can do this problem with the help of options one by one.

Option A :

152.2 pound - In this value, the nearest measure is 0.1. It is possible.

152.127 pounds - There are three values after decimal. It is not possible as the scale measures to the nearest pounds.

152 pounds and 200 pound - Both of the numbers are rounded figures. It is not possible to measure to the nearest pounds.

Hence, the correct option is (A) " 152.2 pounds ".

There will be two squares.

Think about it: The shorter side is 3.5 feet. The longer side is 7 feet. If he cuts it in half on the longer side, he's taking the length of that longer side, and dividing it by 2. 7/2=3.5.

So, you'd have two squares, both with a length and width of 3.5 feet.

If a square block is 17 centimeters on one side.what is the perimeter of the block?

emmasim [6.3K]

If a shape is a square, this mean that each side has the same length. This means that each side of the square has a length of 17cm. Perimeter is the length of the outer boundary of a shape or the summation (addition) of all the sides. This means that the perimeter of this square is 17+17+17+17 or 17×4 which is equal to 68cm.
I hope this helps!

Find an equation for the parabola with focus at (-5,-4) and vertex at (-5,-3)

sattari [20]

Answer:

$(x+5)^{2}=-4(y+3)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Focus point = (-5, -4)

Vertex point = (-5, -3)

We need to find the equation for the parabola.

Solution:

Since the x-coordinates of the vertex and focus are the same,

so this is a regular vertical parabola, where the x part is squared. Since the vertex is above the focus, this is a right-side down parabola and p is negative.

The vertex of this parabola is at (h, k) and the focus is at (h, k + p). So, directrix is y = k - p.

Substitute y = -4 and k = -3.

$-4 = -3+p$
