Answer:
-1/11
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of a line when given two points is found by
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= (3-2)/(-6-5)
=1/-11
= -1/11
1 gallon is 4 quarts. So if 1 gallon is 6 pounds, than a fourth of 6 pounds is the weight of a quart.
6/4 = 1.5 pounds
Now we have to convert 1.5 pounds to ounces. There are 16 pounds in an ounce. 1.5x16 = 24
Answer:
1 quart of unleaded gasoline = 24 ounces
Again using the Pythagorean Theorem:
h^2=x^2+y^2, where h is the hypotenuse of a right triangle and x and y are the side lengths. You are given that the hypotenuse is 34 ft and the base side is 16ft. Let h=34, x=16, and y=height, then you have:
34^2=16^2+y^2
y^2=34^2-16^2
y^2=1156-256
y^2=900
y=√900
y=30 ft
So the ladder will reach a spot 30 feet high on the building.
Answer:
- Length = 28 meters
- Width = 4 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Assume the width of the rectangle is x. That means that the length of the rectangle is 7x which is 7 times as long as it is wide.
Perimeter of a rectangle:
= Length + length + Width + Width
Therefore:
7x + 7x + x + x = 64
16x = 64
x = 64/16
x = 4 meters
Length is 7 times as long:
= 4 * 7
= 28 meters
