To begin with, equivalent fractions represent the same part of a whole number. So I need to find a fraction, with a denominator of 20, that is the same value as 1/2:
1/2 = ?/20
1*10/2*10 = 10/20
Since the denominator needed to be 20, I multiplied the numerator and the denominator (1/2) by 10 to get 10/20. So, 1/2 and 10/20 are equivalent.
The diagonal is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with the sides of the square as legs.
By Pythagoras (s = side)
s^2 + s^2 = 15^2
2s^2 = 225
s^2 = 112.5
s = sqrt(112.5)
s = 10.6 cm (to the nearest tenth)
Answer: 2
Step-by-step explanation:
try each value in the equation
2(0) + 1 = 3
0 + 1 = 3
1 ≠ 3
so 0 doesn’t work
2(1) + 1 = 3
2 + 1 = 3
3 = 3
this works, so the answer is 1
A scalene triangle has 3 unequal sides, so none of the sides are the same. A right triangle has one angle that is 90°, which is indicated by a little square. An isosceles triangle has 2 equal sides (it looks like an ice cream cone). And an equilateral triangle has 3 sides that are all the same.
