Think of the space created with the diagonal line like a triangle. There are three sides. the longest side, the diagonal line is 32 inches. one of the other sides is 15.7 inches. Using Pythagoras theorem, we know that a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where c is the longest side of the triangle (32inches) and either a or b is 15.7inches. let's say that a is 15.7 inches. if we substitute these values we just assigned to a and c into Pythagoras' theorem above, we get 15.7^2 +b^2 = 32^2. we can simplify this to 246.49 + b^2 = 1024. We then subtract 246.49 from both sides of the equation to get b^2 = 777.51. we then square root both sides of the equation to get b = 27.88 (rounded to 2 decimal places). because b is the width of the TV, the width of the TV is 27.88 inches.
{a}^{2}  +  {b}^{2}  =  {c}^{2}  \\  {15.7}^{2}  +  {b}^{2}  =  {32}^{2}  \\ 246.49 +  {b}^{2}  = 1024 \\  {b}^{2}  = 777.51 \\ b =  \sqrt{777.51}  \\ b = 27.88

tina drove 60 miles per hour to tucson. write a function rule that relates the number of miles traveled to the total of the hour
just olya [345]
A function rule would be y = 60x. Y represents the number of miles traveled, and X represents the number of hours. For example, if Tina drove for three hours, it would be 60×3 which is 180 miles.

How do you plot a fraction on a graph that only allows whole numbers?
klio [65]

Answer:

Depends, rise over run could be considered a fraction, or if it's a number that has a whole number like one and 3/4 then you just plot the point to the best of your ability. In other words guess.

Describe how you could represent the fraction 4/10 using a model or number line
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

Not going to give answer, but let you solve

Step-by-step explanation:

You first have to start by drawing a number line and mark two integers between the fraction lines. Then you have to divide the section between the two integers in an equal number of parts which is equal to the denominator.

Hope I helped
