Answer:

  E.  16

Step-by-step explanation:

If the order of points on the line is ABCD, the distance between A and D is ...

  AB +BC +CD = 5 + 9 + 3 = 17

If the order of points on the line is BADC, the distance between A and D is ...

  BC -BA -DC = 9 -5 -3 = 1

Then the difference between the longest and shortest possible distances AD is ...

  17 - 1 = 16 . . . . matches choice E

Answer:

THE HEIGHT OF THE KITE FROM THE GROUND=80mtr

Step-by-step explanation:

let H be the height of kite from ground

\sin\theta=\frac{height}{hypotenuse}

\sin\90=\frac{H}{80}

1=\frac{H}{80}

H=80meters

Jasmine had a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting for her birthday .she and her friend each ate 1/4 of the cake and jasmine's
zloy xaker [14]
Hey there!

To solve this problem, you first would need to solve for how much of the cake is left after Jasmine, her friend, and Jasmine's brother got their slices. Then, you would need to split the remaining amount in half to get the answer of what each parent ate. We would need to make all of the denominators the same, so let's make all of the fractions out of 12, a common denominator of 3 and 4. 

\frac{12}{12} - \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{3}
\frac{12}{12} - \frac{3}{12} - \frac{3}{12} - \frac{4}{12}
\frac{12}{12} - \frac{10}{12} = \frac{2}{12}

It can then be concluded that each parent ate \frac{1}{12} of the cake, since there was \frac{2}{12} remaining. 

You can check this answer by adding up all of the parts we used in this problem:

\frac{3}{12} + \frac{3}{12} + \frac{4}{12} +  \frac{1}{12} +  \frac{1}{12} = \frac{12}{12}

Hope this helped you out! :-)

What number would you add to the equation below to complete the square?x2 + 4x = 0?
julia-pushkina [17]
------------------------------------------------------------------
Equation
------------------------------------------------------------------
x² + 4x = 0

------------------------------------------------------------------
Add a constant
------------------------------------------------------------------
x² + 4x + (4/2)² - (4/2)²  = 0   ← Add 2² to form perfect square

------------------------------------------------------------------
Evaluate bracket
------------------------------------------------------------------
x² + 4x + 2² - 2² = 0

------------------------------------------------------------------
Form the perfect square
------------------------------------------------------------------
(x + 2)² = 4 

------------------------------------------------------------------
Square root both sides
------------------------------------------------------------------
(x+2) = \pm √4

------------------------------------------------------------------
Evaluate the square root
------------------------------------------------------------------
(x+2) = \pm 2

------------------------------------------------------------------
Solve x 
------------------------------------------------------------------
x = 2 - 2 or x = -2 - 2

x = 0 or -4

------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The constant to add is 4 and the value of x = 0 or -4
------------------------------------------------------------------
