In general, you cannot prove that because it is not true.

2 is rational. √2 is not.

The polygons in each pair are similar. Find the missing side length.
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

If you flip the polygon on the right so it looks like the polygon on the left, the scale factor for the small polygon to the big polygon is 32/40 or 4/5.

Now use that scale factor, 4/5, to find the missing length

4/5 = ?/15

5*3 = 15 so 4*3 = ?

? = 12

16 2/5 - 9 2/3 = show work
fgiga [73]

Answer:

Conversion a mixed number 16 3

8

to a improper fraction: 16 3/8 = 16 3

8

= 16 · 8 + 3

8

= 128 + 3

8

= 131

8

To find new numerator:

a) Multiply the whole number 16 by the denominator 8. Whole number 16 equally 16 * 8

8

= 128

8

b) Add the answer from previous step 128 to the numerator 3. New numerator is 128 + 3 = 131

c) Write previous answer (new numerator 131) over the denominator 8.

Sixteen and three eighths is one hundred thirty-one eighths

Conversion a mixed number 9 5

8

to a improper fraction: 9 5/8 = 9 5

8

= 9 · 8 + 5

8

= 72 + 5

8

= 77

8

To find new numerator:

a) Multiply the whole number 9 by the denominator 8. Whole number 9 equally 9 * 8

8

= 72

8

b) Add the answer from previous step 72 to the numerator 5. New numerator is 72 + 5 = 77

c) Write previous answer (new numerator 77) over the denominator 8.

Nine and five eighths is seventy-seven eighths

Subtract: 131

8

- 77

8

= 131 - 77

8

= 54

8

= 2 · 27

2 · 4

= 27

4

The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of the both denominators - LCM(8, 8) = 8. Cancelling by a common factor of 2 gives 27

4

.

In words - one hundred thirty-one eighths minus seventy-seven eighths = twenty-seven quarters.

Step-by-step explanation:

d = 0.03r² + r

When d = 0: 0.03r² + r = 0

r(0.03r + 1) = 0

∴ r = 0

When r = 0: d = 0.03 feet
