No, it is impossible. Intuitively, a negative number sits at the left of 0 on the number line, and a positive number sits at the right of 0 on the number line. And a number x is greater than another number y if x sits at the right of y on the number line. So, every positive number is greater than any negative number.

Also, by definition, a positive number is greater than 0, and a negative number is smaller than zero. So, if x is positive and y is negative, you have

y < 0 < x

and since the relation of order "<" is transitive, this implies

y < x

Estimate the perimeter and area of the figure to the nearest whole number. Please help!!
solniwko [45]

Answer:

29 ; 37

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure is composed by a square, a rectangle, and a right triangle

The perimeter of the square is 6 units

The perimeter of the rectangle is 10 units

The triangle is composed by a side of 6 units and a side of 5 units

The third side can be find with the Pythagorean theorem

\sqrt{6^2 + 5^2} = \sqrt{36 + 25} = \sqrt{61} = 7,81025

The total perimeter is

6 + 10 + 5 + 7,81025 = 28,81025 = 29

Area of the square = 2^2 = 4 square units

Area of the rectangle = 6 x 3 = 18 square units

Area of the triangle =  (5 x 6)/2 = 15 square units

Total area = 4 + 18 + 15 = 37 square units
