The tip of a pair of scissors

1 answer:

3 0

"A pair of scissors consists of two pivoted blades. In lower-quality scissors, the cutting edges are not particularly sharp; it is primarily the shearing action between the two blades that cuts the material. In high-quality scissors, the blades can be both extremely sharp, and tension sprung - to increase the cutting and shearing tension only at the exact point where the blades meet. The hand movement (pushing with the thumb, pulling with the fingers) can add to this tension. An ideal example is in high-quality tailor's scissors or shears, which need to be able to perfectly cut (and not simply tear apart) delicate clothes such as chiffon and silk."

What are some problems with eating fish from higher trophic levels?

NikAS [45]

Trophic levels refer to where organisms fall on the food chain. Fish from higher trophic levels are often larger and have a higher dollar value at market, resulting in overfishing and the depletion of those species from the wild. If those fish are continued to be consumed at a high level, the loss of predators at the top of the food chain could throw off the balance in the ecosystem.

Wany words does that message have?

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

(4, 3)

Explanation:

Short answer: when the coordinates are on horizontal and vertical lines, as these are, each coordinate value is used twice. Already, x=0 is used twice, as is y=0, so the missing coordinate is x=4, y=3.

The fourth vertex is (4, 3).

_____

Longer answer: The midpoints of the diagonals are the same point, so for rectangle ABCD, we have ...

(A+C)/2 = (B+D)/2

Solving for D, we find ...

D = A +C -B

In clockwise order, the points given are ...

A = (4, 0), B = (0, 0), C = (0, 3)

so we have ...

D = (4, 0) +(0, 3) -(0, 0) = (4+0-0, 0+3-0)

D = (4, 3) . . . . the coordinates of the fourth vertex.

8x-6-8=4+2x Whats the answer? Step by step

rusak2 [61]

Problem: 8x-6-8=4+2x
First Step: Combine like terms. First, do -6-8 which is -14. This will leave you with 8x-14=4+2x.
Second Step: Collect Like terms again. This will leave you with 8x-2x=4+14. One you add and subtract those, you will be left with 6x=18.
Third Step: Divide by 6 on both sides.
Fourth Step: You got your answer x=3
