The GCF of 18 and 36 is 18. To solve this, use the picture attached. After creating the boxes, find a number that both 18 and 36 can be divided by, for example, 9. Now that you have 9, divide both 18 and 36 by 9. That equals 2 and 4. Place the numbers underneath the boxes you made previously and find another number that both 2 and 4 are divisible by. 2 and 4 are both able to be divided into 2. Do 2 divided by 2 and 4 divided by 2. Now you have the numbers 1 and 2. There aren't any numbers that can be divided into 1 and 2, so now you are left with the numbers 9 and 2. Multiply the numbers together to get a GCF of 18. Hope this helped!

Answer:

55.5 u^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Split the quadrilateral into 2 triangles. There are two ways to do this, but I'm only doing one of them.

On the 5-11 triangle, use the two of the lengths and plug them into the triangle area formula. (L x W)/2 = A

5-11 triangle area: 27.5

Do the same for the 7-8 triangle. Plug it into the same formula.

7-8 triangle area: 28

Add the two areas. 27.5 + 28 = 55.5

In the diagram below, ST is parallel to PQ. If ST is 4 more than PS,SR = 12, and PQ = 15, find the length of PS. Figures are not

Tpy6a [65]

Since segments ST and PQ are parallel, triangles SRT and PRQ are similar due to the AAA postulate. In general, the ratio between the corresponding sides of two similar triangles is constant; therefore,

$\frac{SR}{PR}=\frac{RT}{RQ}=\frac{TS}{QP}$

Furthermore,

$PS=PR-RS$

Finding PR and RS,

$\begin{gathered} ST=4+PS \\ SR=12 \\ PQ=15 \end{gathered}$

Then,

$\frac{12}{PR}=\frac{TS}{15}$ $\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow\frac{12}{PR}=\frac{4+PS}{15} \\ \Rightarrow\frac{12}{PS+12}=\frac{4+PS}{15} \end{gathered}$

Solving for PS,

$\begin{gathered} 12\cdot15=(PS+12)(PS+4) \\ \Rightarrow180=PS^2+16PS+48 \end{gathered}$

Solve the quadratic equation in terms of PS, as shown below

$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow PS^2+16PS-132=0 \\ \Rightarrow PS=\frac{-16\pm\sqrt[]{16^2-4(-132)}}{2}=\frac{-16\pm28}{2} \\ \Rightarrow PS=-22,6 \end{gathered}$

And PS is a segment; therefore, it has to be positive.

Hence, the answer is PS=6

0.2 repeating is 0.2222222222...
so you have to put the repeating digit(s) divided by 9's
Then it will be 2/9 which yields 0.222222222.....

The sum of 4 consecutive integers is 198. What is the fourth number in this sequence.

Georgia [21]

Let x, x+1,x+2, x +3 are the <span>numbers
so
</span>x + x +1 + x +2 +x +3 = 198
4x + 6 = 198
4x =198-6
4x = 192
x = 192/4
x = 48
x + 1 = 48 + 1 = 49
x + 2 = 48 + 2 = 50
x + 3 = 48 + 3 = 51

proof
48 + 49 + 50 + 51 = 198

so the numbers are 48, 49, 50, 51

fourth number in this sequence is 51
