3/4 of a meter in decimal form is 0.75m

1/3 of a meter in decimal form is 0.33m

 Only two whole pieces measuring 0.33 can be cut from the ribbon since

0.33 + 0.33 = 0.66 (which is 0.09 less than 0.75) 

therefore any other piece will measure  0.75 - 0.66 = 0.09

For simplicity we can multiply by 100 to convert meters to cm, so

0.75 * 100 = 75cm,  0.33 * 100 = 33cm,  0.66 * 100 = 66 cm,  0.09  * 100 = 9cm.

So  two ribbons each 33cm long, totaling 66cm ,can be cut from the 75cm ribbon and only 9cm of the ribbon will be left.

Answer:

The set of numbers that could not represent the three sides of a right triangle are;

{9, 24, 26}

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Pythagoras's theorem, when the lengths of the three sides of a right triangle includes two legs, 'x', and 'y', and the hypotenuse side 'r', we have;

r² = x² + y²

Where;

r > x, r > y

Therefore, analyzing the options using the relationship between the numbers forming the three sides of a right triangle, we have;

Set 1;

95² = 76² + 57², therefore, set 1 represents the three sides of a right triangle

Set 2;

82² = 80² + 18², therefore, set 2 represents the three sides of a right triangle

Set 3;

26² = 24² + 9², therefore, set 3 could not represent the three sides of a right triangle

Set 4;

39² = 36² + 15², therefore, set 4 represents the three sides of a right triangle

A square has a perimeter of 28 feet what is its area
Westkost [7]
Given:
square shape
Perimeter 28 feet
Find its area

A square has 4 equal sides, so perimeter is 4a

Perimeter = 4a
28 ft = 4 a
28 ft / 4 = a
7 = a

One side of the the square is 7 ft.

Area of a square is the measure of one side raised to the power of 2.

A = a²
A = (7 ft)²
A = 49 ft²
