<u>Answer-</u>

<em>The necklace with 24 shells is longer than the necklace with 18 shells by 9 inches.</em>

<u>Solution-</u>

Length of each dentalia shell = 1.5 inches

Length of the necklace made with 24 shells = 24×1.5 = 36 inches

Length of the necklace made with 18 shells = 18×1.5 = 27 inches

The necklace with 24 shells is longer than the necklace with 18 shells by the amount of ,

= 36 - 27 = 9 inches

∴ The necklace with 24 shells is longer than the necklace with 18 shells by 9 inches.

( ∵ As the numbers are already rounded off or natural numbers, so we don't have to round them off or use the compatible numbers.)

Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line shown.
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

y = 2x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the slope using the points, (1, -3) and (3, 1):

slope(m) = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{1 -(-3)}{3 - 1} = \frac{4}{2} = 2

m = 2

Find the y-intercept (b) by substituting x = 1, y = -3, and m = 2 in y = mx + b

-3 = (2)(1) + b

-3 = 2 + b

Subtract 2 from both sides

-3 - 2 = 2 + b - 2

-5 = b

b = -5

Plug in the value of m and b into the slope-intercept form equation, y = mx + b.

Thus:

y = 2x +(-5)

✅y = 2x - 5

The largest county in the state of Texas is 6064 square miles larger than the smallest county in the same state. The size of the
Ann [662]

The smallest county is 129 square miles large.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Smallest county = x

Largest county = y

According to given statement;

The largest county in the state of Texas is 6064 square miles larger than the smallest county in the same state.

y = x+6064     Eqn 1

The size of the largest county is 48 times the size of the smallest county plus one square mile.

y = 48x+1         Eqn 2

As Eqn 1 and Eqn 2 are both equal to y, therefore,

Eqn 1 = Eqn 2

x+6064=48x+1\\6064-1=48x-x\\6063=47x\\47x=6063

Dividing both sides by 47

\frac{47x}{47}=\frac{6063}{47}\\x=129\ square \ miles

The smallest county is 129 square miles large.

ΔABC is a right triangle. Prove: a2 + b2 = c2 Right triangle BCA with sides of length a, b, and c. Perpendicular CD forms right
777dan777 [17]

Answer: Pythagorean Theorem Pieces of Right Triangles is not a justification for the proof.

Explanation : Here, \triangle ABC is a right triangle with sides a, b and c. Perpendicular CD forms right triangles BDC and CDA.

CD measures h units, BD measures y units, DA measures x units.

Draw an altitude from point C to Line segment AB Let segment BC = a segment CA = b, segment AB = c,  segment CD = h,  segment DB = y, segment AD = x,

y + x = c

a/c=y/a( Similarity theorem in triangles ABC and DBC )

a^2 = cy------(1) (Cross Product Property)

Similarly, b^2 = cx (Similarity theorem in triangles ABC and ADC)---------(2)

a^2 + b^2 = cy + cx(after adding equation (1) and (2) )

a^2 + b^2 = c(y + x)( By additional property of equality)

a^2 + b^2 = c^2. ( because y + x=c)

Thus, it has been proved that except Pythagorean Theorem Pieces of Right Triangles we use all other properties.
