Answer:

9.75 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

You use the pythagorean theorem to solve. A is the unknown, while b is 7 feet, and c is 12 feet

A^2 + 7^2 = 12^2

A^2 + 49 = 144

Subtract 49 from both sides to get

A^2 = 95

then take the square root of both sides to get

A (the height) = 9.74679434481

I usually round to 2 decimal points to get the answer 9.75 feet.

Lisa wants to buy material for her dress. If she buys 7metres, she is 1 dollar short. If she buys 5metres, 5 dollars is left ove
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

She has 15 dollar.

Explanation

If every meter costs 2 dollars, then 5 meter would cost 10 dollars and 7 meter would cost 14 dollar. Now we take a number when subtracted from 10, we get 5 dollar and when the same number subtracted from 14 we get 1 dollar left. Now if we take 15 dollar, you'll see that when you subtract 10 from it you get 5 dollar and when you subtract 14 from it you get 1 dollar. Therefore 15 satisfies the given condition in the question.

$15 - $10 = $5

$15 - $14 = $1

Lily is a lilypad in a small pond. Lily doubles in size each day. On the 20th day she covers the whole pond. On what day was Lil
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

19th day

Step-by-step explanation:

So say Lily was 1 when Lily was planted

First day Lily is 2

Second day Lily is 4

Third day Lily is 8

etc...

See the pattern?

The pattern is 2^x

On the 20th day, Lily was 2^20

So when Lily was half, Lily was 2^20 / 2

2^x = 2^20 / 2

2^x = 2^19

On the 19th day, Lily was half.

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

Yes, this is a valid inference because she took a random sample of the neighborhood.

Step-by-step explanation:

As her survey was non bias and completely random and she found that 15% of the families would participate in the event. She claims that 15% of the neighborhood families would be expected to participate in the sports event. So, yes, this is a valid inference because she took a random sample of the neighborhood.
