Answer:

9.4 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle formed is  aright angled triangle with the right angle between the  length and width of the paper cut hence the diagonal represents the hypotenuse side.

Recall that Pythagoras theorem states that

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where c is the hypotenuse side and a, b are the opposite and adjacent sides

Hence

8^2 + 5^2 = c^2

c^2 = 64 + 25

= 89

Finding the roots of both sides

c = 9.433981132

To the nearest tenth

c = 9.4 inches

Which of the following would be an acceptable first step in simplifying the expression (sinx)/(1 + sinx) ?. A.1/(cscx + sinx). B
Alex73 [517]
We are given with the function <span>(sinx)/(1 + sinx). To simplify the equation, we multiply the denominator with its conjugate. Hence the expression becomes (</span>sinx)(1-sin x )/(1 + <span>sinx)(1-sin x). Then we convert the expression into </span>(<span>sinx)(1-sin x )/ cos^2 x. Using trigonometric functions, we can then simplify the expression.</span>
