Why is 12 inches 1 foot a conversion factor ?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Alinara [238K]3 years ago
3 0

I have no better answer than simply, because there are 12 inches in a foot.

By definition a conversion factor is one unit being used to express a group or multiple of another unit. Just like how there are 12 of anything in one dozen. 100 years in one century. 365 days in one year. 100 centimeters in a meter. 4 quarts in one gallon. 10 dimes in one dollar. They are equal to each other and, thus, can be used as conversion factors.

The measure of < A is 45 degree
VashaNatasha [74]

We are given \triangle ABC \cong \triangle EFG

The order of the letter sequence is important. The letters pair up based on how they are arranged. We see that A and E are the first letters of the sequences. So this means that angles A and E are the same measure

angle A = angle E

3x+20 = 5x-80

3x-5x = -80-20

-2x = -100

x = -100/(-2)

x = 50

Use this x value to find the measure of angle A

angle A = 3x+20

angle A = 3(50)+20

angle A = 150+20

angle A = 170 degrees

<h3>Therefore, the statement "the measure of angle A is 45 degrees" is <u>false</u>.</h3>

Solve: -19 = X - 19 halppppp
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

-19 = x - 19

Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>

  1. Add 19 to both sides: 0 = x
  2. Rewrite: x = 0

Step 3: Check

<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>

-19 = 0 - 19

-19 = -19

Mattie uses the discriminant to determine the number of zeros the quadratic equation 0 = 3x2 – 7x + 4 has. Which best describes
vaieri [72.5K]
Answer:  2 real zeros

discriminant:  b^2 - 4ac
a = 3, b = -7, and c = 4
so, (-7)^2 - 4(3)(4) = 1
Since the discriminant is positive, there are 2 real zeros, if the discriminant was negative there would be 2 complex zeros, and if the discriminant equaled 0 then there is one real answer
