One fish is 4 feet below sea level. Another fish is 3 feet below sea level. write each position as an integer. Which integer is
greater?
2 answers:
Answer:
The greater integer is -3.
Step-by-step explanation:
As the problem indicates that fishes are <em>below sea level, </em>you take into account that sea level is 0 feet, and from there, as they are below, you mark their positions as <em>negative integers.</em>
See picture below where fishes position is marked. You can see there that the fish that is in position -3 is the number nearest 0, so -3 is greater than -4.

AB^2 + BC^2 = AC^2
AB^2 + 6^2 = square root 117^2
AB^2 + 36 = 117
Now subtract 117 from both sides
AB^2 = 81
AB = square root 81 = 9
Therefore AB is 9 cms.
AB^2 + 6^2 = square root 117^2
AB^2 + 36 = 117
Now subtract 117 from both sides
AB^2 = 81
AB = square root 81 = 9
Therefore AB is 9 cms.
