Answer:

19.8

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out the length of the diagonal of a square, first we need the length of it sides. We will get this information from the perimeter.

We calculate the perimeter of a square adding up the length of the 4 sides. As all the sides of a square are equal, we just take one side and multiply it by four.  

So, if the perimeter is 56 cm, that means 56 = 4*L, where L represents the length of the sides. If we want to know the value of L, we have to divide by 4 on both sides:

56 = 4*L

56/4 = 4/4*L

14 = L

Now we can find out the length of the diagonal using the Pythagorean equation  

\fbox {\textbf{Pythagorean equation}:} <em>The square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the two legs (the two sides that meet at a right angle)</em>

In this case, the hypotenuse is the diagonal we want to find out and the legs are the two sides of the square.

So, we have  

D^2 = L^2 + L^2

D^2 = 14^2 + 14^2

D^2 = 392

D = \sqrt{392}

D = 19.8

Answer:

10 Square Inches

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Trapezoid</u>

Base =12 inches

Height =10 inches

Top side= 10 inches.

Area of a Trapezoid=\frac{1}{2}(a+b)h, $where a and b are the lengths of the base and top respectively$

=\frac{1}{2}(10+12)*10\\=5*22=110 \:Square\:Inches

Area of the Trapezoid=110 Square Inches

<u>Rectangle</u>

Base = 12 inches

Height =10 inches.

Area of a Rectangle=Base X Height

=12 X 10

=120 Square Inches

<u>Difference in Area between the two packages</u>

Difference=Area of Rectangle-Area of Trapezoid

=120-110

=10 Square Inches

Answer:

1. x = -4y ---> y = (-1/4)x

slope = -1/4. y-intercept = (0,0)

2. y = -2x + 4

3. y = (1/3)x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Re-write your equation so that x is on the right and y is on the left:

x = -4y ---> y = (-1/4)x

slope = -1/4. y-intercept = (0,0)

2. y-intercept = (0,4) ----> P1

x-intercrpt = (2,0) ----> P2

slope m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

= (0 - 4)/(2 - 0)

= -2

therefore, y - y1 = mx - x1 ---> y - 4 = -2x

or y = -2x + 4

3. y-intercept = (0,-1)

x-intercept = (3,0)

m = (0 - (-1)) / (3 -0) = 1/3

y - (-1) = (1/3)x - 0 ---> y = (1/3)x - 1

-2 1/2 - (-1 3/4) ? ​
Olin [163]

Answer:

- 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

-2 1/2 - (-1 3/4)

Subtracting a negative is like adding

-2 1/2 + (1 3/4)

Get a common denominator of 4

-2 2/4 + 1 3/4

The signs are different so we subtract and take the sign of the larger

2 2/4 - 1  3/4

Borrowing from the 2

1 4/4 + 2/4 - 1 3/4

1 6/4 - 1 3/4

3/4

2 2/4 was larger and it was negative so we add a negative sign

- 3/4
