Answer: 16

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the number of tape that can be cut from 2 1/ 4 , we simply divide 36 by 2 1/4

36 ÷ 2 1/4

but 2 1/4 = 9/4

36 ÷ 2 1/4 = 36 ÷9/4 = 36 × 4/9

=144 / 9

=16

Therefore, we can cut sixteen 2 1/4 m lengths of tape from 36m.

One solution of x^2-25=0 is 5 what is the other solution

zepelin [54]

Add 25 to both sides:

$x^2 = 25$

Square root both sides.

When you square root a perfect square, you will get a plus/minus result:

$\sqrt{25} = \pm 5$

$x = \pm 5$

$\boxed{x = -5} \land \boxed{x = 5}$

The other solution to this answer is x = -5.

Answer:

Yes, this set of lengths can form a triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

55+76 = 131

131 > 112

Since the sum of smaller lengths is greater than 112, these numbers can form a triangle.
