Answer:

See Explanation below.

Step-by-step explanation:

What the workers can do to ensure the patio is truly rectangular, before pouring the concrete, is <u>to measure the length of the sides of the patio.</u>

This requires full knowledge of the physical properties of a rectangle.

The opposite sides of a rectangle (the two sides which go in the same direction or which are parallel to each other) are equal in length and one set of parallel sides must be longer than the other set of parallel sides.

These are the conditions that the patio must satisfy, to be truly rectangular.

Once the workers have made sure of this, they can go ahead and pour the concrete.

PLZ HELP ASAP FEATURES OF A CIRLE FROM EXPANDED EQUATION
Lana71 [14]
First we need to convert the given equation to standard form, only then we can find the center and radius of the circle.

x^{2} + y^{2} +18x+14y+105=0 \\  \\ &#10; x^{2} +18x+ y^{2}+14y=-105 \\  \\ &#10; x^{2} +2(x)(9)+ y^{2}+2(y)(7)=-105 \\  \\ &#10;x^{2} +2(x)(9)+ 9^{2} + [y^{2}+2(y)(7)+7^{2}]  =-105+9^{2}+7^{2}  \\  \\ &#10; (x+9)^{2}+ (y+7)^{2}=25  &#10;

The standard equation of circle is:

(x-a)^{2} + (y-b)^{2}= r^{2}

with center (a,b) and radius = r

Comparing our equation to above equation, we can write

Center of circle is (-9, -7) and radius of the given circle is 5

How many minutes are in 5/6, 1/2, and 2/3 of an hour
julia-pushkina [17]
An hour has 60 minutes.

-> 5/6 of 60 minutes
5/6*60
=50

So, 50 minutes

-> 1/2 of 60 minutes
1/2*60
=30

So, 30 minutes

-> 2/3 of 60 minutes
2/3*60
=40

So, 40 minutes.

HELP±! FAST<br><br>What is the scale factor?
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

\frac{5}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal.

To determine the scale factor calculate the ratio of corresponding sides, that is

\frac{NO}{GH} = \frac{15}{9} = \frac{5}{3}

Is the relationship shown by the data linear? x -9, -5, -1, 3 y -2,-7,-12, -17
Temka [501]
                x               y
            ------           -----
              -9              -2
             -5               -7
             -1              -12
              3               -17

ur x's all have a difference of 4, and ur y's all have a difference of -5...so yes, this is linear with a slope of (-7+2) / (-5 + 9) = -5/4
