Answer:
-8
Step-by-step explanation:
a negative times a positive equals a negative
2 times -4 would be
-4 + -4 which equals -8

The phrase "up to" means less than or equal to since John cannot send more than 250 messages.
Isosceles Right
Isosceles, since the two side lengths are equal, and it is a right triangle since it has a 90 degree angle and two other 45 degree angles.
L=25
If the length is 25 yards then you use 50 yards of fencing for the length, this leaves ten yards for each width of fencing each.
10 yards is 15 yards less than 25 yards showing that this is the correct answer.
Think of the 13-ft length of the ladder as the hypotenuse of a right triangle. Represent the horiz. distance from foot of ladder to base of tree by x, or 5 ft.
Represent the vert. dist. from base of tree to top of ladder by y, which is unknown.
Then (13 ft)^2 = (5 ft)^2 + y^2, or
169 ft^2 = 25 ft^2 + y^2. This simplifies to y^2 = 144. Thus y = + 12 feeet.
Note: Please pay attention to your spelling: "lader i up agenst a tree" should be "the top of a 13-ft ladder is placed against a tree."
