No, and therefore, the answer to a negative square root will be "i" which stands for "imaginary" (a group of numbers).


Example:

\sqrt{-2} = i

An equilateral triangle has a perimeter of 48 centimeters. If the triangle is dilated by a factor of 0.75, what is the length of
elena55 [62]
The length of each side is 28 cm. 
the perimeter of the equilateral triangle is 48 cm. To find each side of the original triangle, you do 48/3=16cm. since the triangle dilate by 0.75, then you can just do 0.75*16=12cm. then you have to add 12 to 16 because the triangle gets bigger by 12 cm. so 16+12=28 cm.

Solve the following equation by using the addition principle. Check the solution.
omeli [17]

Answer:

y = 11/20

Step-by-step explanation:

-4/5 + y = -1/4

Add 4/5 to each side

-4/5  +4/5 + y = -1/4+4/5

y = -1/4 + 4/5

Get a common denominator

y = -1/4 *5/5   + 4/5 *4/4

y = -5/20 + 16/20

y = 11/20

Check

-4/5 +11/20 = -1/4

Get a common denominator

-4/5*4/4 + 11/20 = -1/4*5/5

-16/20 +11/20 = -5/20

-5/20 = - 5/20

Check
