Step-by-step explanation:

cats : dogs

5 : 3

Since you are looking for dogs it is :-

What is the equation of the line shown in this graph? Enter your answer in the box

IgorLugansk [536]

This is a horizontal line at y = -3. If you want to find it mathematically, you could find the slope (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) and you would get 0 over 5, so you know the slope is zero. Pick either point and substitute the numbers into point-slope formula. I went with (3, -3) and got (y - -3) = 0(x-3). The right side is just 0, and if you subtract three from both sides to isolate y, you get the equation y = -3.

I need help with this question plzzz Geometry

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

If the perimeter of a square measures 32 cm, each side measures 32/4= 8 cm, because all sides are equal.
The diagonal that passes through the center of the square divides the square into two triangles. The triangles are formed by a hypotenuse (the diagonal, which is k in this case), and two sides, that measure 8 cm each, in this case.
Because of Pythagoras' theorem, we know that the lenght of the hypotenuse (in this case the hypotenuse is k) equals the squared root of the sum of the squared sides, which in this case can be expressed as $k=\sqrt{8^2+8^2} =\sqrt{64+64}=\sqrt{128}=11.31$ .
Then, k=11.31 cm.
