A property from geometry states that rectangles have congruent opposite sides. Thus, no matter which diagonal Reggie cuts, it still has the same lengths. Since it's a rectangle and we cut from corner to corner, we create a right triangle. See the picture below:
<u>___________12 inches_______</u>
7 |
i |
n |
Because it's a rectangle, it won't matter which corner we cut. But if we fold at the cut lines, we would make an in the rectangle's center.
The cut line and two sides make a right triangle. One leg is 12, one leg is 7, and we need to find the third side. The Pythagorean Theorem - sum of the squares of the legs equals the square of the hypotenuse - is applied.
Let S = the length of the side from corner to corner
S² = 12² + 7²
S² = 144 + 49
S² = 193
S = √193 or -√193
Because we are dealing with lengths, we only want positive numbers. -√193 is not used. Thus S = √193
S = √193 = 13.8924439894
S = 18.92 (rounded to two places)
Thus, Reggie will cut 18.92 inches of paper.
Answer:
a.114.4kg
b. 486kg
Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly , we want to know the value with which the apples weigh more than the oranges
To calculate this, we simply subtract the weight of the oranges from that of the apple
Mathematically, that would be ;
300.2-185.8 = 114.4kg
The total weight of the things bought is calculated by adding both weights together
That would be 185.8 + 300.2 = 486 kg
The answer is dddddddddddd
Answer is 3 because it is the greatest common factor
Answer:
29 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
9: 2x - 2 + x + 5 = 90
3x + 3 = 90
3x = 90 - 3
3x = 87
x = 29 degrees
