Answer: For example: Terms like point, line, plane, and distance frequently appear in geometry and related subjects, yet they are difficult to define precisely. Typically, these words are explained informally rather than by strict definitions.

Certain terms in geometry defy precise definitions and are known as undefined terms. These foundational words include point, line, and plane. The label arises not from an inability to define them, but because they serve as the building blocks for all other geometric concepts.

Nevertheless, we can characterize these terms: a point marks a specific location in space, often without dimension and sometimes denoted by coordinates. Lines are infinitely extending in two directions but have no thickness. Planes represent flat, two-dimensional surfaces stretching endlessly in every direction. Their meanings can vary depending on the context, which makes exact definitions challenging.

Roxy has received the following quiz scores so far this year: 75, 88, 90, 96, 98, 100 Which box plot represents this data?

75,88,90,96,98,100

minimum = 75
Q1 = 88.....this indicates the start of the box
Q2 (the median) = (90 + 96) / 2 = 186/2 = 93....this signifies the line within the box
Q3 = 98....this indicates the end of the box
maximum = 100

babunello [11817]
Each tweet could cost anywhere from 1 to 140 pennies, which can be expressed as an inequality [1 ≤ x ≤ 140]. Since it's impossible to tweet 0 characters or exceed 140. If required in pounds, simply divide by 100. A) 1 ≤ x ≤ 140 B) The cost per character is a penny, and tweeting fewer than 1 character or more than 140 is not permitted.

Joaquin is four more than half Marjorie’s age. Marjorie is also 32 less than three times Joaquin’s age.
babunello [11817]

Answer:

Her age is 40 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Jerry's age be represented as j

Let Marjorie's age be denoted as m

The first part of the question states:

j = 4 + m/2

For the second equation:

m = 3j - 32

Multiply the first equation by 2 to get:

2j = 8 + m

Leading to m = 2j - 8

Set both equations for m equal to each other:

2j - 8 = 3j - 32

By simplifying, we get:

3j - 2j = 32 - 8

Therefore, j = 24

Now substituting back:

m = 2j - 8

m = 2(24) - 8

Thus, m = 48 - 8

Final result: m = 40

What proportion of these candy bars have more than 300 calories per serving? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
Inessa [12570]

Answer: 0.12

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a total of 65 candy bars. Within this amount;

2 candy bars contain 300 to 350 calories

1 candy bar contains 350 to 400 calories

4 candy bars contain 400 to 450 calories

1 candy bar contains 450 to 500 calories

Thus, the overall ratio of candy bars with more than 300 calories is;

= (2 + 1 + 4 + 1) / 65

= 8/65

= 0.12
