Answer with explanation:

We have to estimate the sum of

→7.95 + 8.11 + 78.5 + 8.05 + 79.4 + 0.815

When Rounded to nearest tens

7.95 → 8.00

8.11→ 8.00

78.5→79

8.05→8.00

79.4→79.0

0.815→1

So,estimation of the above rational numbers with addition as an operation is done,the result is

→8 + 8 + 80 + 8 + 80 + 0.8 = 184.8, is not correct ,because in the expression it is not clear , the numbers are neither exactly rounded to nearest tens or tenths.

for example ,79.4 when rounded to nearest tens → 79,but in the expression 80 is written,which is not correct.

Similarly,when rounded to nearest tens, 0.815 → 1, but in the expression 0.8 is written,which is confusing.

Similarly,when rounded to nearest tens ,78.5 →79 , but in the expression 80, is written,which is incorrect.

Please answer the question in the picture below. Thanks!
Arada [10]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{DH}{HE}=\frac{18}{36}=\frac{1}{2}

\text{This means that } DH=\frac{1}{2}HE

and thus the given segments are parallel by the converse of the triangle proportionality theorem.

1) The lengths of the other 2 sides are 51 feet.

Isosceles triangles have at least 2 equal sides. The base is 60 feet, so we can assume that the other 2 sides are equal

162 = 60 + 2x

x = the equal sides of the triangle.

162 - 60 = 102

102 = 2x

Divided by 2

51 = x

51 + 51 = 102. 102 + 60 = 162

2)

Pool 1: 311.38ft.

8*19.4 = 155.2

8 * 5.7 * 2 = 91.2

5.7 * 5.7 = 32.49/2 (because its a triangle) = 16.254*4 = 64.98

155.2 + 91.2 + 64.98 = 311.39

Pool 2: Either 863.94ft or 484 + 121πft

22 * 22 = 484

22/2 = 11, So, the radius of the half circle is 11

Circle area = (pi)r^2

11*11 = 121

pi * 121 = 121pi

Using 3.14 substitute: 3.14 * 121 = 379.94

379.94 + 484 = 863.94

Pool 3: 207ft

Rhombus area = pq/2

18 * 12 = 216

216/2 = 108

11 * 18 = 198/2 = 99

99 + 108 = 207

GenaCL600 [577]

A) The situation represents an arithmetic sequence because the successive y-values have a common difference of 210.

F(1) = 240 +210

F(2) = 240 +2(210)

F(3) = 240+3(210)

.

F(x)= 240 +210x.
