A property from geometry states that rectangles have congruent opposite sides. Thus, no matter which diagonal Reggie cuts, it still has the same lengths. Since it's a rectangle and we cut from corner to corner, we create a right triangle. See the picture below:
<u>___________12 inches_______</u>
7 |
i |
n |
Because it's a rectangle, it won't matter which corner we cut. But if we fold at the cut lines, we would make an in the rectangle's center.
The cut line and two sides make a right triangle. One leg is 12, one leg is 7, and we need to find the third side. The Pythagorean Theorem - sum of the squares of the legs equals the square of the hypotenuse - is applied.
Let S = the length of the side from corner to corner
S² = 12² + 7²
S² = 144 + 49
S² = 193
S = √193 or -√193
Because we are dealing with lengths, we only want positive numbers. -√193 is not used. Thus S = √193
S = √193 = 13.8924439894
S = 18.92 (rounded to two places)
Thus, Reggie will cut 18.92 inches of paper.

Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
y = x - 5 → (1)
y = x² - 5x + 3 → (2)
Substitute y = x² - 5x + 3 into (1)
x² - 5x + 3 = x - 5 ← subtract x - 5 from both sides
x² - 6x + 8 = 0 ← in standard form
(x - 2)(x - 4) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2
x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4
Substitute each of these values into (1) for corresponding values of y
x = 2 → y = 2 - 5 = - 3 ⇒ (2, - 3 )
x = 4 → y = 4 - 5 = - 1 ⇒ (4, - 1 )
