Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's convert the decimals to fraction form.

0.5=5/10=1/2

-1/7

-0.2= -2/10= -1/5

1/3

We know that the bigger the number in the denominator, the smaller the fraction is if the numerators are all the same.

First off, we have the negative numbers which are smaller than the other numbers. We have -1/7 and -1/5. We know that the 1/5 is a bigger fraction, but it is negatively bigger, so that is going to be the lesser number.

-1/5, -1/7

And with our bigger ones, we have 1/3 and 1/2. 1/2 is the bigger number here, so that will be the last one. Let's also be sure to convert back to our original forms! Here is our order :

-0.2, -1/7, 1/3, 0.5

Have a wonderful day and keep on learning! :D

Need help! Does anyone know how to do this type of math? (It's geometry)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve the question we need to recall one of the most important theorem of circle known as two tangent theorem which states that tangents which meet at the same point are equal that is being said

FA=AI=17
CH=CG=2.5

since $\rm BA=FA+FB$ and it's given that FA and BA are 17 and 29 FB should be

$\rm 29=17+FB$

therefore,

$FB=29-17=\boxed{12}$

once again by two tangent theorem we acquire:

$FB=BH=\boxed{12}$

As BC=BH+CH,BC is

12+2.5
$\boxed{14.5}$

likewise,AD=AI+DI so,

21=17+DI [AD=21(given) and AI=17 (by the theorem)]

thus,

DI=21-17= $\boxed{4}$

By the theorem we obtain:

DI=DG=4

Similarly,DC=DG+CH therefore,

DC=4+2.5= $\boxed{6.5}$

Now finding the Perimeter of ABCD

$P_{\text{ABCD}}=\text{AB+AD+BC+DC}$

substitute what we have and got

$P_{\text{ABCD}}=\text{29+21+14.5+6.5}$

simplify addition:

$P_{\text{ABCD}}=\boxed{71}$

hence,

the Perimeter of ABCD is 71

Item 5 There are 20 balls in a bag. Ten of the balls are red, 4 are green, and the rest are yellow. Which ratio represents the n

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

3:5 the colon is needed to represent the ratio

Step-by-step explanation:

r = 10

g = 4

y = 30 - 14 = 6

y = 6

so ratio of total balls is 10:4:6

and ratio of y:r is

6:10

simply by dividing by 2

3:5

What is the equation for y=3x+5

VLD [36.1K]

The graph of y = -3x+5

Step 1: Since the y - intercept is 5, plot the point (0,5).

Step 2: Since the slope is -3, move 1 unit to the right and 3 units down, so plot the point (1,2).

Step 3: Connect those points by a straight line.

Sin(20)=x/670 ????????

mash [69]

Answer:

229.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

There's a lot in this question. The x is not just any x. It is defined and limited by its relationship with the sine function.

The Sin is defined as Opposite over Hypotenuse in a right triangle. The 670 is the Hypotenuse. You know that by the definition of Sine.

So one thing you should always keep in mind: the x because of where it is in the definition, will always be smaller than the Hypotenuse. So you should get a value less than 670.

Formula

Just as you have it

Sin(20) = x / 670

Solution

Multiply both sides by 570

670 * sin(20) = x

sin(20) = 0.3420

x = 670 * 0.3420

x = 229.2
