<h3>Answer:   13</h3>

=============================================

Work Shown:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

c = sqrt( a^2 + b^2 )

c = sqrt( 5^2 + 12^2 )

c = sqrt( 25 + 144 )

c = sqrt( 169 )

c = 13

---------------

Extra info (optional section)

The perimeter is 5+12+13 = 30 units and the area is base*height/2 = 5*12/2 = 60/2 = 30 square units. In this triangle type, the area and perimeter are the same value (different units though of course). This concept and particular triangle is discussed in the video titled "Superhero triangles" from Numberphile (timestamp around 1:23 of the video).

Equations, Their Slopes And Y-intercepts. Please 9,11 and 12 question! Thank you!)
MakcuM [25]

Hey there!

(9) 2x-9y=45

... -9y=-2x+45

... y = (2/9)x - 5

Slope = 2/9

y-intercept = (0,-5)

(11) 3y+2x=-15

... 3y=-2x-15

... y = (-2/3)x - 5

Slope = -2/3

y-intercept = (0,-5)

(12) 10x+8y=40

... 8y=-10x+40

... y=(-10/8)x+5

Slope = -5/4 (after simplifying )

y-intercept = (0,5)

Hope my answer helps!

751*5=3.755, which is the number of toys made in a week.
By multiplying 3.755 by 3, you find that the workers make 11.265 toys in three weeks.

From start to finish, a machine can fill a bottle of water, seal it, label it, and pack it in 8.6 seconds. About how many bottle
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

56!

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of bottles that can be packed in 480 seconds, you need to divide the total amount of time, 480 seconds, by 8.6, the amount of time it takes to pack each bottle.

480/8.6=55.8139534884, which rounds up to 56!
