Answer:

-7 is negative so it cannot be a natural number, but it is an integer. An integer is a whole number, this means that it does not have any decimal places or fractions. However, a natural number must be a whole non-zero number and positive. This is because natural numbers are numbers found naturally in measurements or in counting. Additionally, all natural numbers are integers but not all integers are natural numbers. For example, -3 would be an integer, 9 would be an integer and a natural number, and 7.6 would be neither.

Answer:

Natural Numbers are basically "counting numbers". If I ask you to start counting, you'll start at 1, then 2, then 3, and so on. It doesn't include 0 or any negative numbers because you wouldn't start from -10 when asked to count.

Find the length of the missing side of the triangle to the nearest tenth.

babymother [125]

Hey! So you’re gonna need to use the Pythagorean Theorem (a^2 + b^2 = c^2).
You’re looking for one of the legs here, so after inputting the values your equations should look like this: 6^2 + b^2 = 10^2.
Next, find what the numbers squared are: 36 + b^2 = 100.
Then, isolate the variable: b^2 = 64.
Lastly, square root both sides: √b^2 = √64.
You should find the answer is 8.

Each block in Ton's neighborhood is 3/8 mile long.If he walks four and 1/2 how far dose he walk

hram777 [196]

since each block is 3/8 of a mile, then how many miles in 4½? well, it'd just be their product, but let's firstly convert the mixed fraction to improper.

$\bf \stackrel{mixed}{4\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{4\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{9}{2}}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{9}{2}\cdot \cfrac{3}{8}\implies \cfrac{27}{16}\implies 1\frac{11}{16}$

Match the letters. Here's all I can think of:
PQ = TS
QR = SR
PR = TR
Angle P = Angle T
Angle Q = Angle S
Angle R = Angle R

Have an awesome day! :)
