Answer:

13.9 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to answer this.  Folding the paper along its diagonal produces two triangles; each one has shorter side 8.5 in and longer side 11 in.  According to the Pyth. Thm., (8.5)^2 + 11^2 = 193.25, which results in the diagonal length √193.25, or approx. 13.9 in.

Based on the diagram shown, all of the following are true statements except
ira [324]

You are correct. The answer is choice C.

The other choices A, B, D have each side add up to 180 degrees either because the angles are a linear pair (adjacent and supplementary) or because the angles are same side interior angles. Same side interior angles are supplementary if a transversal line cuts through a pair of parallel lines as so happens in this diagram.

Two integers, a and b have a product of 15. what is the least possible sum of a and b?
Neporo4naja [7]
If they're integers, that means they can't be fractions (such as 15/2 and 2).

So the only couples of integers that, when multiplied, result in 15 are:

1 and 15
5 and 3.

(there are no other possibilities as both 5 and 3 are not divisible further).
The smaller of the two sums (15+1; 5+3) is 5+3=8.

The least possible sum of a and b is 8.

Jose' traveled from his home in Ocala to Gainesville. Gainesville is 37 miles
Alja [10]

Answer:

The integer -37 represents the direction and the distance covered by Jose from Gainesville to Ocala.

Step-by-step explanation:

The direction is represented by the sign that accompanies the distance, since Jose is returning from Gainesville, then the direction must represented by a minus sign (-), since he is travelling southwards. The distance is the magnitude of the length covered by Jose during his return. Hence, distance is represented by the natural number 37.

Finally, the integer -37 represents the direction and the distance covered by Jose from Gainesville to Ocala.
