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

Complete the multiplication: AB. <br><br> A. <br> B. <br> C. <br> D.
Firdavs [7]
These array of numbers shown above are called matrices. These are rectangular arrays of number that are arranged in columns and rows. It is mostly useful in solving a system of linear equations. For example, you have these equations

x+3y=5
2x+y=1
x+y=10

In matrix form that would be

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&3&5\\2&1&1\\1&1&10\end{array}\right]

where the first column are the coefficients of x, the second column the coefficients of y and the third column is the constants, When you multiple matrices, just multiply the same number on the same column number and the same row number. For this problem, the solution is

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3*2&0*8\\2*0.6&-1*3\end{array}\right] =  \left[\begin{array}{ccc}6&0\\1.2&-3\end{array}\right]

Enter the inequality given by the graph below.
Rudiy27
The slope of the line is: m=(5-0)/(-3-2)=-1
y=-x+b
find out b by using a point: 0=-2+b, b=2
so the equation of the line is y=-x+2
it is dotted, so they should be an equal sign. 
the shaded part is to the right, above the line, so it is a >
the inequality is y>-x+2

How can you use similar triangles to find a missing measurement?
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

By comparison of the sides.

Step-by-step explanation:

If triangles are similar, that means their angles are equal and sides are proportional.

If you already have a proportion of two corresponding sides between triangles, then use that proportion and set it equal to a side you already know the measurement to. Hopefully that side is corresponding to your missing measurement, and you can then solve it.
