If James draws a diagonal line of length x from one right angle to the opposite right angle, then he divides his piece of paper into two pieces, each of them is right triangle with legs 9 inches and 12 inches.
By Pythagorean theorem:
 x^2=9^2+12^2 \\ x^2=81+144 \\ x^2=225 \\ x=15 inches.
Answer: 15 inches

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

m∠5 +m∠6 = 180° ( the angles form a line)

m∠2 + m∠3 = m∠6 ( exterior angle is the sum of 2 not adjacent angles)

m∠2+m∠3+m∠5= 180° (sum of angles in a triangle is 180°)

Alex is mailing an envelope that weighs 0.346 pounds.What is the weight of the envelope rounded to the nearest hundredth
tangare [24]
The hundredth place is the second number on the right side of the decimal place. In this case, it is the 4 in the number you listed above. 

Rounding is simple, once you get the hang of it. :)

To round on the right side of the decimal, you look at the number to the right of the number. If the number to the right of that number is five or over, the number rounds up. But, if it is less than five, the number remains the same. Either way, the number/s to the right of the one you are rounding disappear after you are done.

So let's look at your equation. The number you wish to round up- the hundredths place is the number 4. The  number to the right of the four is a six. Since that is five or over, we round up. So the number would end up being .35 pounds to the nearest hundredth. 

Thanks for the opportunity to answer your question and I hope I helped! If I answered your question, please consider nominating me for the brainliest answer, friending me, or even leaving a comment on my profile! Thank you!! :)

Draw a shape that uses 5 squares and has a perimeter of 10 units.
Liula [17]

Answer:

  see the attached diagram

Step-by-step explanation:

It seems an infinite number of possible shapes can satisfy your requirement. The possibilities increase if the squares are not constrained to be the same size, or to form a convex polygon.
