9514 1404 393

Answer:

  it depends on the accuracy and resolution required of the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The shaded portion appears to be about half the length of the unshaded portion, suggesting the shaded amount is 1/3.

__

Using a pair of dividers, one could determine the number of times the shaded portion fits into the whole bar. Depending on how much is left over, the process could repeat to determine the approximate size of the remaining fraction relative to the bar or to the shaded portion. (Alternatively, one could replicate the length of the bar to see what integer number of shaded lengths fit into what integer number of whole lengths.)

One could measure the shaded part and the whole bar with a ruler, then determine the relative size of the shaded part by dividing the first measurement by the second. The finer the divisions on the ruler, the better the approximation will be.

Two triangles are similar if and only if all corresponding angles are equal (congruence), even if the corresponding sides are equal or not, therefore the answer is true because ΔJKL and ΔRST are similar and the statement above demands that "it must be", namely, this is a sufficient condition.

Serrians triangle has a height of 3x-4 and the base length is 8x+4 what is the area of the triangle
kirill115 [55]
Area of a triangle is base × height ÷2
base=8x+4 x=-4/8 x=-1/2
height=3x-4 x=4/3

A=b×h÷2
A=(-1/2×4/3)÷2
A=(-4/6)÷2
A=(-4/6)÷2/1 to divide by fractions flip the second and multiply
A=-4/6×1/2
A=-4/12
A=-1/3

Find the quotient: –37.44 ÷ 4.8 Check reasonableness by estimating: –37.44 4.8 Estimated quotient:
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The most important part of this question is the estimation. That means you round either up or down to get whole numbers.

You can make - 37.44 either - 40 or - 35

You can make 4.8 into 5

So the answer should lie between -40/5 = - 8

or

The answer should be between - 35/5 = - 7

Use your calculator to check it.

-37.44 ÷ 4.8 = - 7.8

This skill is very handy when shopping or writing a test. It you get an outrageous answer like - 21.44 you know you have done something wrong.
