Answer:

We want to craft:

a/b and c/d

where a, b, c and d can be 2, 3, 4 and 5.

Such that the distance in the number line between these two numbers is maximized.

Then we want one number to be really small, and the other to be really large.

Remember two things:

for numbers like a/b.

if a is smaller than b, then a/b is smaller than 1.

Now, if a is larger than b, then a/b is larger than 1.

And two things,

1/10 = 0.1

10/1 = 10

So when the numerator is larger, the distance displaced in the number line is larger.

Then we want to have:

a number where the numerator is the largest option and the denominator is the smallest option:

a/b = 5/2

And the two remaining options in such way that the numerator is smaller than the denominator:

c/d = 3/4.

The distance between these two numbers is:

D = 5/2 - 3/4 = 10/4 - 3/4 = 7/4.

What is the length of the blue in the circle<br> o below
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

Option D. 8.53 units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The triangle OAB is congruent with the triangle OCD

because

OA=OB=OC=OD=radius circle O

AB=CD

therefore

The height of both triangles is equal to 8.53 units

The segment blue is equal to 8.53 units

I need help with number 19
inysia [295]
Let's start by understanding that the graph is a linear line. We have a common difference if 4.5 for every 10x we have more.

We can start by finding the gradient, using rise over run. Let's take (10, 4.5) and (20, 9)

Our rise is 9 - 4.5 = 4.5 and our run is 10. Then, our gradient becomes 4.5/10 = 0.45

Now, we can substitute points using the point-slope form.

y - 4.5 = 0.45(x - 10)
y - 4.5 = 0.45x - 4.5
Hence, our line becomes y = 0.45x and you can verify by substituting in points from the table.
