(7 and 7/16) is the simplest form.
77/8= 9.625 and 31/4= 7.75...so 9.625-7.75= 1.875
Answer:
3.
equation =
Using:
or or
7^2 + 12^2 = c^2
49 + 144 = c^2
c^2 = 193
missing length = 13.9 inches
4. equation =
Using:
or
24^2 + 32^2 = c^2
reduce to:
8 multiplied by everything:
3^2 + 4^2 = c^2
Since we know 3,4,5 is a Pythagorean triple, we can use this to find c.
Since c must be 5, we multiply by 8 since we divided by 8 earlier to get the 3,4,5 and get 40.
missing length = 40 inches
The key term here is inverse variation - that is, two or more variables must multiply to a certain product.
So, let's multiply 12 and 8. We get 96.
The correct pair must contain factors of 96.
16 and 6 are factors of 96, so the answer is (D).
