The correct answer to this question is 12.25 sq inches.

The largest rectangle is a square.

So if you divide 14" by 4 then you get 4 3.5" sides.

Area of a rectangle = L*W

Area of a rectangle = 3.5 * 3.5

Area of a rectagle = 12.25 sq inches

Somebody please prove if a triangle with side length of 6,8,10 is a right triangle using the Pythagorean theorem!! Will mark Bra

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:
Pythagorean’s theorem states that if a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where c is the hypotenuse and a and b are the side lengths of the right triangle

Given that we can plug in
a= 6 , b = 8 , c = 10

We get an equation:

6^2 + 8^2 = 10^2
36 + 64 = 100
100 = 100

The area of a rectangle with width × and length 7× is 7². what does the coefficient 7 mean in terms of the problem?

tatuchka [14]

The coefficient 7 means that the length is 7 times the width

<h3>How to interpret the coefficient?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Width = x

Length = 7x

Area = 7x^2

We have:

Length = 7x

Substitute Width = x in Length = 7x

Length = 7 * Width

This means that the length is 7 times the width

What is the slope and y-intercept for the graph of the equation Y= 4/5 x - 3 ?

vichka [17]

So,

The slope-intercept form is as follows:
y = mx + b

"m" is the slope, and "b" is the y-intercept. The y-intercept for this equation is (0,b).

Our equation is $y= \frac{4}{5} x-3$

That means that $\frac{4}{5}$ is the slope, and -3 is the y-intercept.

Find the value of y, rounded to the nearest tenth. Please help me, I'd appreciate it!!

Blababa [14]

If a secant and a tangent of a circle are drawn from a point outside the circle, then the product of the lengths of the secant and its external segment equals the square of the length of the tangent segment.

y² = 7(15+7)
y² = 7*22
y² = 154
y = √154
y = 12.4 ← to the nearest tenth

The perimeter of a 5 sided figure is 45.56 meters. Two of the sides have the same length. The sum of the other three side length

klio [65]

Let

x---------> the length of the sides that have the same length in meters

we know that

the perimeter of the figure is equal to

$45.56=(24.2+2x)$
