Answer:

A)4

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming all edges are integral values

The most basic right angles triangle with integral edges is

(3,4,5)

as it obeys pythogores theorem

which is

$a^{2}+ b^{2} =c^{2} \\\text{where c is the hypotenuse}\\\text{and a and b are the other side}$

$3^{2} +4^{2} =5^{2}$

Now, double each edge,it will still remain a right angled triangle since it will still obey pythogores theorem

so the edges are (4,6,10)

⇒4 cm is the short leg of a integral right triangle with hypotenuse 10 cm

You have to make it so they have the same denominator so instead of 4/5 cups of flower he has 8/10 cups of flower then you subtract 1/10 cups of flower and in the end he as 7/10 cups of flower left

What is 143/13 as a mixed numeral?

yuradex [85]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

$Hello!$

$Here~I~will~show~you~how~to~~convert~an~improper~fraction~into~$ $a~mixed~number!$

$To~find~the~answer~we~simply~divide~143~by~13.$

→ We get our answer as:

 $\frac{143}{12}=11$ 

 $Now,~that~we've~got~11~as~our~answer,~Let's~see~what~a~mixed~number$ $is~so~that~we~can~convert~it.$

→ What does mixed fraction mean? :

 $It~simply~means,~a~mixed~number~has~an~integer~that~is~a~whole$ $integer. So,~to~make~it~into~a~mixed~number~we~need~an~integer~and~$ $a~fraction~so~we~can~write~it~as:$
