Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

To split the rectangle into 2 parts, you can go one of two ways. One way would make the parts 15" by 10", and the other way would make the two parts 30" by 5". Neither way is equal on all sides, which means neither one is a square. That would make the statement false.

Answer:

I think false

Step-by-step explanation:

That's probably going to lead to 3 congruent squares i think, not the answer you were looking for? Sorry, that's all the evidence i have

A pound of chocolate cost $6. Nicole buys p pounds. Write an equation to represent the total cost of c that Nicole pays.?
leonid [27]

Answer:

C=6p

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost (c) will be by itself since that is the answer you are looking for. 6p is grouped together because for every pound you pay $6. For example if you had 2 pounds of chocolate. You would multiple $6 by 2 and your cost would equal $12

Determine the number of possible triangles, ABC, that can be formed given angle A = 30°, a = 4, and b = 6.
Sophie [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

using Sine Law,

\frac{sinA}{a}=\frac{sinB}{b}

\frac{sin30}{4}=\frac{sinB}{6}

sinB=0.75

angle B = 48.6

Another angle will be

angle B' = 180-48.6 = 131.4

considering angle B, angle C = 180 - (48.6+30)=101.4

considering angle B', angle C' = 180-(131.4+30)=18.6

\frac{sinA}{a}=\frac{sinC}{c}

\frac{sin30}{4}=\frac{sin101.4}{c}

c = 7.84

Similarly, finding c'

\frac{sinA}{a}=\frac{sinC'}{c'}

\frac{sin30}{4}=\frac{sin18.6}{c'}

c'=2.55

Hence two triangles are possible with below details:  :   Answer

A = 30, B = 48.6, C = 101.4, c = 7.84

A = 30, B' = 131.4, C' = 18.6, c' = 2.55

Hope it will help :)
