Answer:

8 yards < 10 yards

He has enough.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 yard = 3 feet

y yards = 24 feet

$\frac{1}{3} :\frac{y}{24}$

y · 3 = 1 · 24

3y = 24

3y ÷ 3 = 24 ÷ 3

y = 8

24 feet = 8 yards

8 yards < 10 yards

Find Distance (4,6) (-4,-3)

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

$\sqrt{145}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance formula states that the distance between two points $(a,b)$ and $(c,d)$ is $\sqrt{(a-c)^2+(b-d)^2}$ .

The two points we have are $(4,6)$ and $(-4,-3)$ . Plugging these numbers into the distance formula, we have

$\sqrt{(4-(-4))^2+(6-(-3))^2$ .

Simplifying with order of operations, first using the distributive property, gives

$\sqrt{(4+4)^2+(6+3)^2$ .

Squaring and adding gives

$\sqrt{(4+4)^2+(6+3)^2}=\sqrt{8^2+9^2}\\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=\sqrt{64+81}\\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=\boxed{\sqrt{145}},$

which is the answer in simplest form. This also rounds to about 12.04.

Triangle ABC has angle measures as shown. What is the value of X? Show your calculations.

dezoksy [38]

180-96= 84
That means 8x+12=84
84-12=72
That means 8x=72
72÷8=9
therefore X=9
