12 ÷ 5 = 2.4. So there will be 0.4 string left.
The answers to your questions are 1.D, and 2.C
Answer:
16
notice how a right triangle was formed, and the Pythagorean theorem could be used to solve this :
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
a^2 + 15^2 = 17^2
a^2 + 225 = 289
a^2 = 64
a= 8
multiply it by 2 to get the side of the base
8 * 2 = 16
Answer:


Now, add these two equations.
You get,



Given,




You can test this to the other equation as well.


Hence, the two numbers are 14 and 10.
A value equal to -(-3.7) is 3.7
The negative signs outside and inside zero out each other, which means you will get a positive. Think of (negative) as opposite. The opposite of an opposite will cancel out and give you what you had.
