To mark X spot, the ribbon should be stretched diagonally from one end to another. Since the flag is a square, a diagonal cuts the square into 2 equal triangles. The diagonal length is the hypotenuse of the triangle, as the triangles formed are 2 right angled triangles.
Using Pythogoras' theorem, hypotenuse can be found out with the following equation;
H² = X² +X²
where H is the hypotenuse in other words the diagonal
X - length of the triangle, since its a square all lengths are equal
X- 12 inches
H² = 12² + 12²
    = 144+144 
H² = 288
H = 16.9 inches≈17 inches
to make the mark X he will need 2 strips of ribbons of length 17 inches each.
total length of the ribbon needed = 34 inches

Shade the model to show the decimal 0.542 using 100 grid and 10 grid
kherson [118]

0.542=0.500 + 0.040+0.002

          = \frac{5}{10} + \frac{4}{100} +\frac{2}{1000}

         =5 tenth + 4 hundredths + two thousandths

One tenth = \frac{1}{10}

One Hundredth= \frac{1}{100}

One thousandth= \frac{1}{1000}

Could ΔABC be congruent to ΔADC by SSS? Explain.
Vera_Pavlovna [14]
There are 5 ways to test if two figures are congruent, namely;
side-angle-side(SAS)
Angle-side-angle (ASA)
Angle-angle-side(AAS)
Hypotenuse-leg (HL)
3 Sides (SSS)
here we shall focus on SSS. When the three corresponding sides of 2 figures say a triangle have the same length we will conclude that the triangles are congruent by SSS.
Therefore from our choices we can conclude that   triangles ABC and ADC are only congruent if the two other side have the same length and BC=DC.

The answer is yes;
B] Yes, but only if BC=DC
