Answer:

-15 ft or 15 ft below sea level

Step-by-step explanation:

8 ft + (-23 ft) = 8 ft - 23 ft = -15 ft

Answer: -15 ft

Which figure is the image produced by applying the composition T 0,3 o R0,90 to figure R?

Lyrx [107]

We are given original image R.

It is being translated by (0,3) first and then rotated by a positive angle 90 degrees.

Translation by (0,3) represents (x,y) --> (x, y+3) rule.

Positive 90 degree rotation represents, counterclockwise rotation.

The rule for counterclockwise rotation is (x,y) --> (-y,x).

Therefore, final rule for would be

(x,y) --> ( -y,x+3 )

Let us take a coordinate of R on y-axis as (0,-4).

Now if we apply rule (x,y) --> ( -y,x+3 ) we get

(0,-4) --> (-(-4), 0+3) = (4,3).

Let us check the figure with coordinate (4,3).

We can clearly see that Figure H has transformed coordinate (4,3).

<h3>Therefore, correct option is first option A. figure H.</h3>

Arrange from least to greatest, 4.3, 5.5, 6 1/6, 15/4, 4 3/8?

Sophie [7]

Here are the numbers
4.3 , 5.5 , 6 $\frac{1}{6}$ , $\frac{15}{4}$ , 4 $\frac{3}{8}$
I'm going to change them into fractions
In the fractions, divide the numerator by the denominator
$6\frac{1}{6}$ <em />⇔6.1666---
$\frac{15}{4}$ ⇔3.75
$4 \frac{3}{8}$ ⇔4.375
Now to arrange them from least to the greatest
$\frac{15}{4}$ , 4.3 , $4 \frac{3}{8}$ , 5.5 , $6\frac{1}{6}$
