Answer:

a. Perry covered more ground

b. Karina covered an area of 9 square units

Perry covered a region measuring 18 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we need to validate our conclusion through mathematical reasoning.

Initially, we determine who has managed to cover the greater area.

The most effective way to approach this is by examining the dimensions of the areas they have each cleaned.

Karina has a square with sides of 3 units by 3 units

Whereas Perry has a rectangle that measures 9 units by 2 units

We recognize that by comparing the areas, a square of 3 by 3 has a lesser area compared to a rectangle with dimensions of 9 by 2

Consequently, since the rectangle covers a larger area, it is Perry who has accomplished more in her community service

For area calculations;

For Karina:

3 by 3 = 3 units * 3 units = 9 square units

For Perry, the calculation is

9 by 2 = 9 units * 2 units = 18 square units

do you agree that the equation (x-4)²=9 can be solved both by factoring and extracting square roots? ​
Zina [12379]

Given parameters:

  Equation:

          (x-4)²=9

Problem: Solve the equation by both factoring and extracting the square root.

Solution:

    Starting equation:

                  (x-4)²=9

         Subtracting 9 from both sides brings us to zero;

                (x-4)² - 9 = 0

                (x -4)² - 3² = 0

  This fits the concept of the difference of squares;

          x² - y² = (x + y)(x-y)

                     

Let x  = x-4 and y = -3

  Then input and solve;

              (x - 4 -3)(x - 4 -(-3)) = 0

              (x - 7)(x - 1) = 0

S thus,

             x - 7 = 0 or x-1 = 0

             x = 7 or 1

<pBy extracting the square roots;

          (x-4)² = 9

         √(x-4)² = √9

              x - 4 = 3

              x  = 4 + 3 = 7; however, this is not the sole solution

Thus, direct extraction of the square root is not the method for complete solutions.

Given: mAngleEDF = 120°; mAngleADB = (3x)°; mAngleBDC = (2x)° Prove: x = 24 3 lines are shown. A line with points E, D, C inters
zzz [12365]

Answer:

" Vertical angles are equal " ⇒ 2nd answer

Step-by-step explanation:

* Refer to the attached illustration

- Three lines intersect at point D.

- We have to identify the missing justification in step 3.

∵ Line FA intersects line EC at point D.

- When two lines cross, the angles created are referred to as

 vertical angles.

- By the vertical angles theorem, vertical angles are equal.

Thus, ∠ADC and ∠FDE are vertical angles.

Since vertical angles are equal

∴ ∠EDF ≅ ∠ADC

Thus, m∠EDF ≅ m∠ADC

Given that m∠EDF = 120°.

∵ m∠ADC is the sum of m∠ADB and m∠BDC.

Therefore, m∠ADB + m∠BDC = 120°.

∵ m∠ADB = (3x)° ⇒ given.

∵ m∠BDC = (2x)° ⇒ given.

Thus, 3x + 2x = 120 ⇒ combine like terms.

Thus, 5x = 120 ⇒ divide both sides by 5.

Thus, x = 24.

Column (1)                                                     Column (2)

m∠EDF = 120°                                               given

m∠ADB = 3 x                                                 given

m∠BDC = 2 x                                                 given

∠EDF and ∠ADC are vertical angles           definition of vertical angles

∠EDF is equal to ∠ADC                           vertical angles are equal

                                                                        equal  

m∠ADC = m∠ADB + m∠BDC                        angle addition principle.

m∠EDF = m∠ADC                                          definition of equality.

m∠EDF = m∠ADB + m∠BDC                         substitution.

120° = 3 x + 2 x                                               substitution.

120 = 5 x                                                         addition.

x = 24                                                           division.

∴ The missing justification is " vertical angles are equal "

- From the reasoning above, ∠ADC and ∠FDE are vertical angles and therefore they are equal according to the vertical angle theorem.

On a coordinate plane, a dashed straight line has a positive slope and goes through (negative 3, 1) and (0, 3). Everything to th
Svet_ta [12734]

Answer:

y>\frac{2}{3}x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Calculate the slope of the dashed line

The slope between two points is computed with the formula:

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

We consider

(-3,1) and (0,3)

and substitute into it:

m=\frac{3-1}{0+3}

m=\frac{2}{3}

Step 2

Determine the equation of the dashed line in slope-intercept form:

y=mx+b

The equation we established is:

m=\frac{2}{3}

b=3 ---> associated problem

Substituting yields:

y=\frac{2}{3}x+3

Step 3

Establish the inequality corresponding to the graph

Given that it is represented by a dashed line, the area to the left of this line is shaded.

Thus,

y>\frac{2}{3}x+3

Refer to the attached diagram for enhanced understanding of the problem.

Explain the steps for dividing decimals. Write three or four sentences.
PIT_PIT [12445]

Response:

Step-by-step explanation:

Shift the decimal points in both the divisor and the dividend.

Transform the divisor (the number you're dividing by) into a whole number by moving its decimal to the furthest right. Simultaneously, adjust the dividend's decimal (the number being divided) the same number of places to the right.

In the quotient (the result), place a decimal point directly over where the decimal point is now located in the dividend.

Proceed with the division as normal, ensuring proper alignment so the decimal point appears correctly.

Align each digit in the quotient directly over the last digit of the dividend utilized in that step.
