-4 isn't a real number because there is no square root of -4. However, there is a cube root of -8, because -2 * -2 * -2 = -8.

Which is an ordered pair on the line 2.5,14 2.25,12 1.25,5 1.5,9

Savatey [412]

I would think that all but one point would be on the line. One way to approach this problem is to find the equation of the line based upon any two points chosen at random, and then determine whether or not the other points satisfy this equation. Next time, would you please enclose the coordinates of each point inside parentheses: (2.5,14), (2.25,12), and so on, to avoid confusion.
14-12
slope of line thru 1st 2 points is m = ---------------- = 2/0.25 = 8
2.50-2.25

What is the eqn of the line: y = mx + b becomes

14 = (8)(2.5) + b; find b:

14-20 = b = -6. Then, y = 8x - 6.

Now determine whether (12,1.25) lies on this line.

Is 1.25 = 8(12) - 6? Is 1.25 = 90? No. So, unless I've made arithmetic mistakes, (1.25, 5) does not lie on the line thru (2.5,14) and (2.25,12).

Why not work this problem out yourself using my approach as a guide?

Answer:

$\displaystyle m\angle AED=32.5^\circ$

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles in a Circle

An exterior angle of a circle is an angle whose vertex is outside a circle and the sides of the angle are secants or tangents of the circle.

Segments AE and DE are secants of the given circle. They form an exterior angle called AED.

The measure of an exterior angle is equal to half the difference of the measure of their intercepted arcs.

Intercepted arcs in the given circle are AD=113° and BC=48°. The exterior angle is:

$\displaystyle m\angle AED=\frac{AD-BC}{2}$

$\displaystyle m\angle AED=\frac{113^\circ-48^\circ}{2}=\frac{65^\circ}{2}$

$\displaystyle m\angle AED=32.5^\circ$

Suppose you want to represent a triangle with sides 12 feet, 16 feet, and 18 feet on a drawing where 1 inch = 2 feet. How long s

slega [8]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. 6, 8 and 9 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review all the information provided for answering the questions properly:

Length of the sides of the triangle = 12 feet, 16 feet and 18 feet.

Scale used : 1 inch = 2 feet.

2. How long should the sides of the triangle be in inches?

For calculating the length of the sides of the triangle in the draw, we use the scale this way:

1st Side = 12 feet

12 feet/2 = 6 inches

2nd Side = 16 feet

16 feet/2 = 8 inches

3rd Side = 18 feet

18 feet/2 = 9 inches

The correct answer is C. 6, 8 and 9
