<h3>Answer: Sometimes true</h3>

========================================================

Explanation:

-8+d is positive only when d > 8

Here's why

-8+d > 0

-8+d+8 > 0+8 .... add 8 to both sides

d > 8

So if Jessica said "d is greater than 8", then her claim would always be correct.

However, her claim is sometimes true.

Two counter examples could be when d = 1 and d = 2.

If d = 1, then -8+d = -8+1 = -7 which isn't positive.

If d = 2, then -8+d = -8+2 = -6 which also isn't positive.

Basically if d is anything smaller than 8, then you'll have -8+d be negative.

If d is something larger than 8, say d = 9, then -8+d = -8+9 = 1 which is finally positive.

Find the height of a square pyramid that has a volume of 32 cubic feet and a base length of 4 feet. (1 point)
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

h =6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a square pyramid is given by

V = 1/3 Bh  where B is the area of the base

32 = 1/3 (4*4)h

32 = 1/3 *16*h

32 =16/3 h

Multiply each side by 3/16 to isolate h

3/16*32 = 3/16*16/3 h

6 =h

Find the area of the figure.<br> *50 ft2<br> *41 ft2<br> *42 ft2<br> *38 ft2
nirvana33 [79]
We start by splitting the shape into two rectangles as shown in the diagram below:

Area of shape A = 10' × 3' = 30'
Area of shape B = 6' × 2' = 12'

Total area = 30' + 12' = 42'

Find the least number by which 243 must be divided to make it a perfect<br> square.
Anarel [89]

Is 243 a perfect square number? A number is a perfect square (or a square number) if its square root is an integer; that is to say, it is the product of an integer with itself. Here, the square root of 243 is about 15.588. Thus, the square root of 243 is not an integer, and therefore 243 is not a square number.

The formula a = m − n represents the actual cost, a, of an item with original price m after a coupon for n dollars off is applie
goblinko [34]

Answer:

1). Option (2)

2). Option (4)

Step-by-step explanation:

1). Formula to evaluate the actual cost 'a' of an item with original price 'm' and a discount coupon for 'n' dollars applied will be,

a = m - n

n = m - a

Therefore, expression (2) will be the answer.

2). Deon ride a 15 mi bicycle trail.

Average speed of the trail is = 20 miles per hour

From the formula,

Speed = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{time}}

Time = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}

        = \frac{15}{20} hours

Therefore, Option (4) will be the answer.

A college basketball coach has 12 players on his team. eight players are receiving scholarships, and four are not. the coach dec
EleoNora [17]

Solution: The given problem is a binomial distribution.

The probability that a team member receives a scholarship is \frac{8}{12} = 0.67

Therefore, the given problem follows binomial with n = 5 and p = 0.6667

Now the probability that 4 of 5 players selected are on scholarship is:

P(x=4) = \binom{5}{4} \times 0.6667^{4} (1-0.6667)^{5-4}

                  =5 \times 0.1976 \times 0.3333

                  =0.329

Therefore, the probability that 4 of 5 players selected are on scholarship is 0.329
