Answer:

you can use it in architecture and construction

Step-by-step explanation:

say you are building a sloped roof. If you know the height of the roof and the length for it to cover, you can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the diagonal length of the roof's slope. You can use this information to cut properly sized beams to support the roof, or calculate the area of the roof that you would need to shingle. I hope this helps!

What is the solution to the equation -5 =8m +12 /4

Dima020 [189]

m = -1

-5 = 8m + 12/4
-5 - 12/4 = 8m
4(-5) - (12/4) = 4(8m)

*to remove the denominator, multiply each figure by 4.

-20 -12 = 32m
-32 = 32m
-32/32 = 32m/32
-1 = m

m = -1

To check:

-5 = 8m + 12/4
-5 = 8(-1) + 3
-5 = -8 + 3
-5 = -5

nevsk [136]

Answer:

ones

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that Jim wants to divide 762 coupons equally among 9 stores.

So dividing 762 by 9, we get

$=\frac{762}{9}$

= 84.66

The position of the digit before the decimal place start with 'ones' and then proceeds to tens, hundreds, thousands, etc.

Therefore, the first digit of the quotient is in the ones place of the position value or place value.
