Answer: 8.1ft

Step-by-step explanation:

It may help to draw it out but for this question you would have to use pythagoras' theorem.

The formula for the shorter side is a²=c²-b²

The height of this triangle is 4ft (b) and the hypotenuse (the diagonal that stretches from the top to the bottom) is 9ft (c).

When we put the numbers in the formula you get a²=9²-4²

9²=81

4²=16

a²=81-16

a²=65

Then because we want to find a on it's own you would have to square root 65 which is 8.1 (to the nearest tenth)

Y + 4x < 8
y < -4x + 8
2 points that satisfy this are (0,8) and (2,0)....and those happen to be ur x and y intercepts (where the line crosses the x and y axis)

graph...so go ahead and plot ur x and y intercepts (0,8) and (2,0).....ur slope is - 4.....so start at ur y int (0,8) and go down 4 spaces, and to the right 1...plot that point, then go down 4 spaces and to the right 1, then plot that point...keep doing this and u will have ur line...u should have crossed the x axis at (0,2)......ur line will be a dashed line since the problem has no equal sign.... the shading will go below the line because it is less then.

y - 3 > = 1/2x
y > = 1/2x + 3
2 points that satisfy this are : (0,3) and (-6,0)...ur x and y intercepts

graph : plot ur intercepts (0,3) and (-6,0)....u have a slope of 1/2...so start at ur x intercept (-6,0) and go up 1 space, and to the right 2 spaces, plot that point...then go up 1 and to the right 2, plot that point...keep doing this and u will cross the y axis at (0,3)....this line will be a solid line....the shading will go above the line.

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

When the numerators are the same, the denominator that is bigger has a lesser value. In this case, the inequality > shows that \frac{1}{10} is bigger than the fraction next to it so in order to find a fraction that is lesser in value than  \frac{1}{10}, we need to find a denominator that is <u>more than 10</u>, since 10 is the denominator of the first fraction. The only number more than 10 in the options is 12, so 12 is the answer.
