Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm sure he was making a joke at the expense of people who rely on mathematics rather than common sense. It is funny, but then Twain was a remarkably funny author..
The problem is that the comparison is apt using some sort of proportion, but it is absurd to think that the land holding the river would also shrink a proportional amount.
The river reached a minimum (presumably) in 1875 by cutting out all the loops that were there in 1700. The Mississippi was then a straight line from it's beginning to its delta on the gulf of Mexico. It could not get any shorter. Still, Twain managed to get laughs with his whimsical humor.
Thanks for posting. This made my evening.
I might not be understanding what you mean but I think it is by counting 10s. 170,180,190,200,210,220,230,240,250,260,270,280,290,300,310,320,330,410.
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you would want to subtract the first nights cost from the bill, which you would get 108. And then you would want to divide 108 by how much it costs to stay additional night, so 108 divided by 27 = 4. But you have to remember to add the first night you stayed so it would be 5. I hope this helps :)

Answer:
C) 24√2
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance between the points is the radius of the circle. Use distance formula:
d² = (x₂ − x₁)² + (y₂ − y₁)²
d² = (5 − 2)² + (2 − 5)²
d² = 3² + 3²
d = 3√2
The radius of the circle is 3√2. The diameter of the circle is 6√2, so the side length of the square is 6√2. Therefore, the perimeter is 24√2.
