In this item, we are to divide one (1) inch into 16 equal parts to be able to conclude that American standard system is less accurate than the metric system.
16 parts of 1 inch = 1 inch / 16 = 0.0625 inch
This in itself is already a proof enough that there are 4 decimal places after the decimal point which makes this hard to properly measure.
Whereas, if we are to divide a centimeter into the millimeters, we will have 10 equal parts and that would be 1 mm = 0.1 cm.
The number above only has one decimal place and the level of accuracy should be higher.

Answer:
either x or y must equal 0
Step-by-step explanation:
ts given that xy = 0
Remember that product of two numbers can be zero only if:
Both of them are zero or Either of them is zero as zero multiplied to any non-zero number will always be equal to zero. This is known as Zero Product Property.
So, if the product of x and y is equal to 0 there are two possibilities:
Both x and y are equal to 0
Either x or y must be equal to 0
Note that the condition both x and y are equal to zero is not a must condition, because even if one of them is equal to zero, the entire expression will be equal to zero.
Hence, the condition which has to be true in all cases for xy = 0 is:
either x or y must equal 0
Answer:
x = 3/7y - 13/7
Step-by-step explanation:
7x-3y=-13
+3y +3y Add 3y to both sides
7x = 3y - 13 Divide both sides by 7
x = 3/7y - 13/7
Longer leg = x + 4
Shorter leg = x
Hypotenuse = x + 8
Using Pythagorean Theorem:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
(x + 4)^2 + x^2 = (x + 8)^2
x^2 + 8x + 16 + x^2 = x^2 + 16x + 64
2x^2 + 8x + 16 = x^2 + 16x + 64
2x^2 +8x = x^2 + 16x + 48
2x^2 - 8x = x^2 + 48
x^2 - 8x = 48
x^2 - 8x - 48 = 0
You can complete the square from here or use the quadratic formula.
Completing the square:
x^2 - 8x = 48
x^2 - 8x + (-8/2)^2 = 48 + (-8/2)^2
x^2 - 8x + 16 = 48 + 16
(x - 4)(x - 4) = 64 or (x - 4)^2 = 64
x - 4 = +√64 OR x - 4 = -√64
x - 4 = +8 OR x - 4 = -8
x = 12 OR x = -4
However, you can't use negative 4 as a length because your length needs to be a positive.
So x will be 12.
Shorter leg: 12
Longer leg: 12 + 4
Hypotenuse: 12 + 8
