Answer:

32 paperback books

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Width of hardcover books = 1 1/2 inches

Width of paperback books = 3/4 inches

Number of hardcover books already on shelf = 8

Total width of shelf = 3 feets

1 foot = 12 inches

Hence, total shelf width in inches = (12 * 3) = 36 inches

Total width of hardcover books = (8 * 1 1/2) = 12 inches

Total shelf width left = (36 - 12) inches = 24 inches

Maximum number of paperback books :

Total shelf width left / paperback width

24 inches / (3/4)inches = 32 paperback books

If a projectile is modeled by a parabola, what could the x-intercepts represent?
Mars2501 [29]

Answer: The x-intercepts represents the points at which the parabola crosses the axis of x.

Step-by-step explanation:

If it exist then the x-intercepts represent the zeros,  roots, or quadratic function, the values of x at  y = 0. Then the  parabola does not cross the x-axis, so it has no zeros.

REY [17]

Answer:

In order to tell if these are congruent triangles we would need to know if angles Y and V were congruent, angles X and W are congruent or if segments XU and WU were congruent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Any of these would work because you can use two different methods to telling that these are congruent triangles.

The first method is called side-angle-side. In it you need two side lengths that are congruent with a congruent angle in the middle. Since we already know that the right angle in the middle is congruent, and we know YU and VU are congruent, we would just need to know the additional side to prove congruence.

The second method is called angle, angle side. In this we need to know that two angles in a row are congruent followed by a side. Since we know the middle angle is the same, knowing either other angles would give us this method as well.
