Why are decimals called decimals? ​

Mathematics
1 answer:
natta225 [31]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Decimal comes from the Latin word decimus, meaning tenth, from the root word decem, or 10. The decimal system, therefore, has 10 as its base and is sometimes called a base-10 system. Decimal can also specifically refer to a number in the decimal system.

Please help solve for PQ.
DerKrebs [107]
This problem cannot be solved unless we are given figure NPQR is a rhombus.
In that case, then all sides are equal, meaning 
5x+16=9x-32
Solve for x
9x-5x=16+32
4x=48
x=12

Each side (including PQ) then equals 5x+16=5*12+16=76

Perimeter of a rectangle is 52 feet. If the length is 10 less than 2 times the width, what is the width?
ella [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width be x feet.

Therefore, length = 2x - 10

Perimeter of rectangle = 52

2(2x - 10 + x) = 52 \\ 2(3x - 10) = 52 \\ \therefore \:  3x - 10 =  \frac{52}{2} \\ \therefore \:  3x - 10 = 26\\ \therefore \:  3x = 26 + 10\\ \therefore \:  3x = 36 \\ \therefore \:  x =  \frac{36}{3} \\ \therefore \:  x =  12 \\ \purple{ \boxed{\therefore \: width \: of \: rectangle = 12 \: feet }}

(-2,4), (2,5)

Slope equation : (y₂-y₁) / (x₂-x₁)

Plug in the values.

m = slope

m = (5-4) / (2 + 2)

Simplify.

m = 1/4

So, your slope is 1/4
