Answer:
More than 1/2.
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2 in decimal form is 0.5, and since 0.7 is greater than 0.5, that means it is greater than 1/2.
Answer:
21 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Call the triangle ABC, with the right angle at B, the hypotenuse AC=25, and the given leg AB=10. The altitude to the hypotenuse can be BD. Since the "other leg" is BC, we believe the question is asking for the length of DC.
The right triangles formed by the altitude are all similar to the original. That means ...
AD/AB = AB/AC . . . . . . ratio of short side to hypotenuse is a constant
Multiplying by AB and substituting the given numbers, we get ...
AD = AB²/AC = 10²/25
AD = 4
Then the segment DC is ...
DC = AC -AD = 25 -4
DC = 21 . . . . . centimeters

Answer:
- 12 meters
28 meters
40 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
A fish is 12 meters below the surface of the ocean. What is its elevation?
Position of fish = 12 meters below the surface = - 12 ;
Sea level = 0
Elevation = sea level + position
Elevation = 0 + (- 12)
= - 12 meters
2. A sea bird is 28 meters above the surface of the ocean. What is its elevation?
Position of bird = 28 meters below the surface = (28) ;
Sea level = 0
Elevation = sea level + position
Elevation = 0 + 28
= 28 meters
3. If the bird is directly above the fish, how far apart are they?
If bird is directly above the fish;
Distance between bird and fish :
Elevation of bird - elevation of fish
28 - (-12)
28 + 12
= 40 Meters
