5 less than the number is x - 5
The reciprocal is 1/(x - 5)

This number is 1/(x - 5) = 4(1/(2x)) Cross multiply.
2x = 4*(x - 5) Remove the brackets.
2x = 4x - 20 Subtract 2x from both sides
0 = 4x - 2x - 20
0 = 2x - 20 Add 20 to both sides
20 = 2x Divide by 2
20/2 = x
10 = x

Convert all the numbers to real numbers:

6√3 = 10.3923

(3.5)^2 = 12.25

√75 = 8.660

9.8 = 9.8

57/5 = 11.4

A)  Now order from largest to smallest:

(3.5)^2, 57/5, 6√3, 9.8, √75

B) We found the order by solving the equations to get real numbers.

C)

Since the numbers are multiplied by a negative number, the greatest number would be the smallest number because it would be closer to zero.

The order would be the reverse of part A:

x√75, 9.8x,  6x√3, 57x/5, x(3.5)^2

D) I replaced x with -1 and calculated for real numbers. All the values were the same as A except they were the negative value.

A triangle forms the front of the Pantheon in Rome, Italy. Classify the triangle based on its sides. Then classify it based on i
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

(See explanation for further details)

Step-by-step explanation:

Classification based on sides:

Equilateral - Three sides with same length.

Isosceles - Two sides with same length.

Scalene - No sides with same length.

Classification based on sides:

Acute-Angled - All angles are acute. (0^{\circ} < \theta < 90^{\circ}, 0^{\circ} < \alpha < 90^{\circ}, 0^{\circ} < \beta < 90^{\circ}, \theta + \alpha + \beta = 180^{\circ})

Right-Angled - One angle is right. (0^{\circ} < \theta < 90^{\circ};\alpha = 90^{\circ}, 0^{\circ} < \beta < 90^{\circ}, \theta + \alpha + \beta = 180^{\circ})

Obtuse-Angled - One angle is obtuse. (0^{\circ} < \theta < 90^{\circ},90^{\circ}
