Answer:

976 -522 more than 400.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find : Is 976 -522 more or less than 400? Explain how you can tell without actually subtracting.

Solution :

Without actual subtracting we apply estimation method.

Estimation is approximate the number to the nearest place value.

Estimating 976 = 1000

Estimating 522 = 500

If we subtract 1000-500=500

Which is more than 400.

i.e. If we subtract 976-522 the result is more than 400.

Therefore, 976 -522 more than 400.

You can round 976 to 1000 and 522 to 500. So it would be
1000 - 500 = 500. The answer you would get after subtracting 976-522 would be more than 400 if you round it.

A standard die has numbers = 1,2,3,4,5 and 6

Total outcomes = 6

P = Number of outcomes/Total Outcomes

Even and less than 4 = 1,2,3,4 and 6

P = 5/6

Using the pythagorean theorem, calculate the length of the missing sides (c1, c2, c3)

katrin [286]

Answer:

the Pythagorean theorem states: a^2 + b^2 = c^2

1) in this case a=18 and b1=25

18^2 + 25^2 = c1^2

324 + 625 = c1^2

949 = c1^2

√949 = c1

cca. 30.8 = c1

2) in this case a=18 and b' = b2 - b1 = 40 - 25 = 15

in the picture im attaching i highlighted the triangles we are working with, and there you can clearly see that b' (the horizontal line at the bottom of the red tr.) is the difference between the lines b2 and b1

now you can use the same technique as in the first case, and the final answer will be cca. 23.4 = c2

3) in this case a=18 and b'' = b4 - b3 = 75 - 55 = 20

same thing as number 2, final answer cca. 26.9 = c3
