Answer: displacement

Step-by-step explanation:

A quantity that has both magnitude as well as direction is known as vector quantity.

The shortest distance between any two points is a vector quantity and it is named as displacement.

It has both magnitude and direction. It can be zero if starting and ending points are same.

Hence, the vector quantity that describes the shortest path between two points : displacement

Relay races called for 8 people on a team. There were 43 men and 34 women who wanted to race. How many teams could be formed ?ho

ELEN [110]

It would be an odd number of teams. What I did was add 43 and 34 together. Which gave me 77. So 77 people total wanted to race. There can only be 8 racers on each team. Each means to divide. So I divided 8 and 77. It gave me 9 with a remainder of 5. So there will e 9 teams and 5 racers left out. (:

The measure of one angle is thirteen less than five times the measure of another angle. The sum of the measures of the two angle

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

The two angles are 25.5 and 114.5

Step-by-step explanation:

x = measure of one angle

5x - 13 = measure of the other angle {one angle is 13 less than 5 times the other}

x + 5x - 13 = 140 {sum of the two angles is 140}

6x - 13 = 140 {combined like terms}

6x = 153 {added 13 to each side}

x = 25.5 {divided each side by 6}

5x - 13 = 114.5 {substituted 25.5, in for x, into 5x - 13}
