Answer:

C) 4.0 ft  

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this.  It states that the sum of the squares of the legs of a right triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse; algebraically,

a²+b² = c²

The height splits the base in two, giving us a leg of 3.  The hypotenuse is 5.  This gives us:

3²+b² = 5²

9+b² = 25

Subtract 9 from each side:

9+b²-9 = 25-9

b² = 16

Take the square root of each side:

√b² = √16 = 4

Can someone solve 5 + 2x = + 6<br><br> and n - 3n = 14 - 4n<br><br> and 7 ( 5a - 4 ) - 1 = 14 - 8a
professor190 [17]

Answer:

5 + 2x = 6

2x = 6-5

2x = 1

x = 0.5

n -3n = 14 -4n

-2n = 14-4n (since 4n is negative, change the sign to make it positive and then add 4n to both sides of the equation)

2n = 14

n = 7

7 (5a - 4) - 1 = 14 - 8a

35a - 28 - 1 = 14 -8a

35a -29 = 14 - 8a

43a = 43

a = 1

A mechanic is using a machine that makes metal parts. She measures each part to confirm it is the correct size. Negative numbers
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

In the figure attached, the complete question is shown.

We have to transform all the fractions to new fractions with the same denominator, as follows:

1/8 *4/4 = 4/32

-3/16 *2/2 = -6/32

-1/4 *8/8 = -8/32

1/32

5/32

-1/16 *2/2 = -2/32

Now we can order the list simply comparing numerators:

-8/32, -6/32, -2/32, 1/32, 4/32, 5/32

or

-1/4, -3/16, -1/16, 1/32, 1/8, 5/32
