the diagonal squared = base squared + altitude squared.
The equation of the line that passes through the points (2,1) and (5,-8) is
y = -3x + 7
He can make 36 pies in a day because there are 24 hours in a day and
24/8=3

In this item, it is unfortunate that a figure, drawing, or illustration is not given. To be able to answer this, it is assumed that these segments are collinear. Points L, M, and N are collinear, and that L lies between MN.
The length of the whole segment MN is the sum of the length of the subsegments, LN and LM. This can be mathematically expressed,
LN + LM = MN
We are given with the lengths of the smalller segments and substituting the known values,
MN = 54 + 31
MN = 85
<em>ANSWER: MN = 85</em>
