<h3>Answer: Malcom can run the furthest.</h3>

======================================================

Explanation:

Race 1

Let's convert Malcom's distance to inches so we can compare his distance to his sister's.

1 yard = 3 feet

10 yards = 30 feet (multiply both sides by 10)

1 foot = 12 inches

30 feet = 360 inches (multiply both sides by 30)

In Malcom's first race, he ran 360 inches. He has run the furthest compared to his sister who ran 300 inches.

------------------------

Race 2

Convert Malcom's distance from feet to inches.

1 foot = 12 inches

18 feet = 216 inches (multiply both sides by 18)

Malcom runs 216 inches compared to his sister's distance of 180 inches. Malcom is the winner again.

------------------------

Race 3

120 inches = 120/12 = 10 feet

Divide by 12 to convert from inches to feet, or you could have these steps

12 inches = 1 ft

120 inches = 10 feet

after multiplying both sides by 10.

Malcom runs 10 feet compared to 5 feet which his sister runs.

In each race, Malcom has ran the furthest.

If they are right triangles

Ahat [919]

You can use Pythagreos theorem to determine it!
Pythagreos theorem is a^2 + b^2 = c^2
1) 4^2 + 4^2 = 6^2
16 + 16 = 36
32 = 36 (So this is not a right-angled triangle )
2) 16^2 + 12^2 = 20^2
256 + 144 = 400
400 = 400 (Sp this is a right-ngled triangle)

What is the probability of rolling an even number or a perfect square using a 20-sided die?

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

C) 12/20

Step-by-step explanation:

Between 1 and 20, 10 numbers are even, 4 numbers are perfect squares (1, 4, 9, and 16), and 2 numbers are both even and perfect squares (4 and 16).

So the probability is:

(10 + 4 − 2) / 20 = 12/20.

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

$B. 100$

Step-by-step explanation:

This is simple, the picture that is provided tells us the answer easily.

An angle lower than 90 degrees is called an acute angle. While one that is the same as 90 degrees is a right angle, and one that is more than 90 is obtuse.

We are asked to take a look at angle 4, we can see that is more than 90 degrees. Since 100 is the only answer with an amount higher than 90 degrees and fits the angle, it is the angle.

kari74 [83]

Answer:

y= 1/4x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+c

to calculate gradient: change in y/change in x

-3/-12 = 0.25

y = 1/4x+c

4 * 1/4 = 1

6-1 = 5

c= 5

Totally:
y= 1/4x+5
