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.

What shape is a rhombus related to and why​
Ksju [112]
A rhombus is related to a “Parallelogram”

Why? - because it fulfills the requirements of a parallelogram: a quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides. It goes above and beyond that to also have four equal-length sides, but it is still a type of parallelogram.

Using the quadratic formula to solve 7x2 – x = 7, what are the values of x?
Kruka [31]
How the quadratic formula works:

For any quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0, the solution is x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}.

In the case of our equation 7x² - x = 7, first we need to subtract 7 from each side so that we have 0 on the right.
7x² - x - 7 = 0

Identify the values of a, b, and c.
a = 7, b = -1, and c = -7.

Plug these into our quadratic formula and solve.

x=\frac{-(-1)\pm\sqrt{(-1)^2-4(7)(-7)}}{2(7)}=\boxed{\frac{1\pm\sqrt{197}}{14}

There are two values for x: (1+√197)/14 and (1-√197)/14.
The approximate values for these are 1.073976 and -0.931119.
