How do you convert units within a measurement system

1 answer:

5 0

You have to know how the value of one unit corresponds to the value of the other unit. For example you have to know that there are 100 cm in 1 m or 1000 m in 1 km. It's easy in metric measurement system because it's all about multiplying/dividing by 10 or its multiplications. But in American/English system you just have to learn the values.

For example:

1 km = 1000 m = 10000 dm = 100000 cm = 1000000 mm

But:

1 mile = 1760 yards = 5280 feet = 63360 inches

If the legs of a right triangle are 6 cm and 5 cm, find the area of the triangle.

sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

A = 15 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

A = 1/2 bh where b is the base and h is the height

When the triangle is a right triangle the legs are the base and the height

A = 1/2 (6) * (5)

A = 15 cm^2

8-5(x+2)<-5 what is the inequality with a line graph

Vadim26 [7]

The expression for the inequality is:

$8-5(x+2)$

We need to find which line represents this inequality. To do that we will use the left side of the inequality and rewrite it as a slope-intercept form. Which is done below:

$\begin{gathered} y(x)=8-5(x+2) \\ y(x)=8-5x-10 \\ y(x)=-5x-2 \end{gathered}$

The line for this inequality is "-5x -2". Where the slope is -5 and the y-intercept is -2. We can graph it as shown below:
