Answer:
1 7/12
Step-by-step explanation:
Just subtract the fractions if you cant do it by head or paper use a calc so 5 3/4 - 4 1/6= 1 7/12 samuels dad is 1 7/12 taller than samuel.
The bottom answer is correct. I had some trouble with this so I had to find x and y in separate parts.
TO FIND X
notice that the top triangle and bottom triangles are similar, meaning if you multiple all three sides of one by a specific number, it becomes the same size as the bottom triangle.
17 x n = 8, therefore n=8/17
8 x n = X, therefore X=64/17
For some reason, this does not give a correct value for Y, so I had to use trig
TO FIND Y
Notice that the angle DAB is the same as DBC (lets call this angle Ø)
Using trig rule, we know that the cos of an angle is equal to the adjacent side divided by the hypotenuses.
We can now form some equations:
cosØ = 15/17 (from the top triangle)
cosØ = 8/Y (from bottom triangle)
Now we know that Y=(8x17)/15 = 136/15
X=64/15 Y=136/15
Answer:
Sorry this is late and I think this is right.
They are both parallel, they have the same slope, and do <em>not </em>intersect. If you were to draw a slope out for it, you would find this to be true.
For example: Say the question called for you to explain why there aren't any solutions to these system of inequalities:
<em>y < - 1/2x -3</em>
<em>y > 1/2x + 2</em>
<em>y= -x/2 -3</em> and <em>y= -x/2 + 2 </em>have the same exact slope, are parallel, and never intersect. The first line is 5 units below the second line when x = 0. Because the lines are parallel, it is always below the second line. The solutions of y < - x/2 -3 are the points in the plane below the first line. The solutions of y > 1/2 + 2 are points above the second line.
I hope this helps you. Good luck on whatever you're working on and stay safe! Please let me know if this helped you or didn't.
