Answer: x < -44

Step-by-step explanation:

alright my fellow dude gamer, i want you to know that "a number" is basically just x

so lets do this

$\frac{1}{4}x + 13 < 2$

ok now we are going to solve for x, no?

$\frac{1}{4}x < -11$

i just subtracted 13 from both sides

now we divide -11 by 1/4

$x < -44$

MAGIC! ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! OH MY GOODNESS AHHHHHHH

Li Ping says a square with 3 inch sides has greater area than a parallelogram that is not a square but has sides that have the s

Kipish [7]

Answer:

Li Ping's statement makes sense.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a square with side lengths a inches is given by, $A_1 = a^{2}$ .

Now, the area of a parallelogram with equal sides a inches, which is not a square is given by, $A_2 = ah$ , where, h is the perpendicular distance between the opposite sides.

See the diagram attached.

Since a is the hypotenuse of as right triangle with height h, hence, a > h.

So, $A_1 > A_2$

Therefore, Li Ping's statement makes sense. (Answer)
