< means 'less than'. 3.5 is less than 4.5, so A is correct. Since -4.5 is NEGATIVE it is less than 0. As for C, since both numbers are negative, it would be the seemingly 'smaller' number that is actually bigger. It may help to think of the numbers on a number line. In the negatives, the numbers start to go in reverse, so the further from 0 a negative number is, the smaller it is. -4.5 IS LESS than -3.5. All answers are correct.
Answer: 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Perpendicular lines have reciprocal slopes
Answer:
x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
For the lines to be parallel, the two angles must have the same measure:
80 - x = 90 - 2x
x = 10 . . . . . . . . . add 2x-80
The value of x must be 10 to make the lines parallel.
Theorem of cosine:
a²=b²+c²-2bc(cos α) ⇒cos α=-(a²-b²-c²) / 2bc
In this case:
a=15 cm
b=10 cm
c=5 cm
cos α=-(15²-10²-5²) / 2*10*5
cos α=-100 / 100
cos α=-1
A=arc cos -1=180º This is impossible, because:
A+B+C=180º; then B=C=0º This is impossible for make a triangle (B>0 and C>0 if we want to make a triangle).
Therefore: it is not possible can make a triangle with side lengths of 5 cm, 10 cm and 15 cm.
