Answer:
Greater than (>)
Step-by-step explanation:
Last week, Jason ran 26.1 miles.
He wants to run further this week.
<u>Distance Run this week</u>
- 2.4 miles to the park,
- Four times around the park= 4p (if distance around the park is p miles)
- 2.4 miles back from the park.
Total Distance this week =2.4+4p+2.4
Since his distance this week is going to be greater than the total distance covered last week (26.1 miles), we then have:
Total Distance covered this week > Total Distance Last week
Jason should use the greater than inequality sign.
Answer: Choice B) {3, 5, sqrt(34)}
=====================================
Explanation:
We can only have a right triangle if and only if a^2+b^2 = c^2 is a true equation. The 'c' is the longest side, aka hypotenuse. The legs 'a' and 'b' can be in any order you want.
-----------
For choice A,
a = 2
b = 3
c = sqrt(10)
So,
a^2+b^2 = 2^2+3^2 = 4+9 = 13
but
c^2 = (sqrt(10))^2 = 10
which is not equal to 13 from above. Cross choice A off the list.
-----------
Checking choice B
a = 3
b = 5
c = sqrt(34)
Square each equation
a^2 = 3^2 = 9
b^2 = 5^2 = 25
c^2 = (sqrt(34))^2 = 34
We can see that
a^2+b^2 = 9+25 = 34
which is exactly equal to c^2 above. This confirms the answer.
-----------
Let's check choice C
a = 5, b = 8, c = 12
a^2 = 25, b^2 = 64, c^2 = 144
So,
a^2+b^2 = c^2
25+64 = 144
89 = 144
which is a false equation allowing us to cross choice C off the list.
Answer:
It’s C
Step-by-step explanation:
To estimate, you should round some of the numbers to the closest number (rounding up or down). It will be more accurate the less you round. In this problem, we should round -5 1/4 to -5 since it is the closest. -5*-3/2 = 7.7. You will end up with -3/2x (-5 1/4) ≈ 7.5x
≈ means approximately equal.
Answer:
Equation: x + (x+ 1) = 67
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find two consecutive integers.
Let them be labeled as x and x + 1
We want x + (x + 1) = 67
x is the smaller number
x + 1 is the largest
We can solve for x.
x + (x + 1) = 2x + 1 = 67
2x = 66
x = 33
The largest integer is 34
