If you have a box of 250 toothpicks,what is the largest sized square you could build?

2 answers:

7 0

A square is made up of 4 sides, so you need to figure out the maximum number of toothpicks that can be divided into 4 piles

250/4 = 62.5, but because .5 is not a whole toothpick, you would use 4 sides of 62 tooth picks

Well a square has 4 sides so 250÷4 is 62.5 but u cant use more than 250 so its 62 so each side would be 62 toothpicks long

A range of 2 reveals that the smallest and largest data values are 2 units away from each other.

<h3>What does the range reveal?</h3>

Range is the difference between the highest and lowest values of a set of observations. Range is a measure of variation.

Range = highest value - lowest value

What is the median please help please help

Paladinen [302]

Answer:

54.5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the median, first we have to put the numbers in ascending/increasing order.

43, 60, 50, 36, 58, 50, 73, 59, 69, 51 is your set

36, 43, 50, 50, 51, 58, 59, 60, 69, 73 is your set in order.

The median is the middle number of the data set. Your set has an even number of entries, so we have to average the 2 middle numbers, which are 51 and 58.

36, 43, 50, 50, 51, 58, 59, 60, 69, 73

51 + 58 = 109

109/2 = 54.5

On a coordinate plane, a line goes through (negative 5, negative 4) and (0, negative 3). A point is at (negative 2, 2). What is

Sav [38]

Answer:

Second option: $y=\frac{1}{5}x+\frac{12}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line in Slope-Intercept form is:

$y=mx+b$

Where "m" is the slope and "b" is the y-intercept.

We know that a line goes through the points $(-5,-4)$ and $(0,-3)$

Since the line intersects the y-axis when $x=0$ , then the y-intercept of this line is:

$b=-3$

Substitute the y-intercept and coordinates of the point $(-5,-4)$ into the equation $y=mx+b$ and solve for "m":

$-4=m(-5)-3\\\\-4+3=-5m\\\\m=\frac{-1}{-5}\\\\m=\frac{1}{5}$

By definition, the slopes of parallel lines are equal, then the slope of the other line is:

$m=\frac{1}{5}$

Knowing that it passes through the point $(-2, 2)$ , we can substitute values into the equation $y=mx+b$ and solve for "b":

$2=\frac{1}{5}(-2)+b\\\\2+\frac{2}{5}=b\\\\b=\frac{12}{5}$

Therefoe, the equation of this line is:

$y=\frac{1}{5}x+\frac{12}{5}$

What is the discriminant of the quadratic equation 0 = –x2 + 4x – 2?

Ber [7]

When the equation is of the form

... ax² +bx +c = 0

the discriminant is

... d = b² -4ac

Here, your equation is in the appropriate form, so we can identify

... a = -1, b = 4, c = -2

and calculate the discriminant as

... d = 4² - 4(-1)(-2) = 16 - 8 = 8

The discriminant is 8.
