I think the points given here are plotted linearly:
FGHI. in this case, we can tell that FG + GH + HI = FI. substituting to the expression devised, 2 units + GH + 1 unit = 7 units. This is equal to 3 units + GH = 7 units. GH is then equal to 4 units.
Answer:
9 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The border of the garden is a right angled triangle.
Two lengths are given as 12 ft and 15 ft.
Let the length of the shortest timber be 'x' feet.
Now, in a right angled triangle, the longest length is called the hypotenuse.
As 15 feet is the largest length, it is the hypotenuse of the triangle. Now, applying Pythagoras theorem, we get:

The negative value is neglected as length can never be negative.
Therefore, the length of the shortest timber is 9 feet.
Answer:
0.64 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
In the equation provided:
h = −16t2 + 4t + 4
h is the height of the ball and t is time. Since we want to find the time when the ball touches the floor, then height is 0. This leaves us with the equation
-16
+ 4t + 4 = 0
This is a quadratic equation can be solved with the following formula:

where a=-16
b=4
c=4
Solving for t we will find two different results:


Since time can't be negative, we discard t2 and choose t1.
Since it is required to answer in the nearest hundredth, we round the result to t=0.64 seconds.
Let X be the original price.
Do a 40% increase we get the price: X+0.4X=1.4X
Doing a 25% off we get the new price:
(1.4X)-0.25(1.4X)=1.05X
=X+0.05X.
The new prices are 5% increase from the original price.
Let the number of nickels found be n, the number of dimes be d and the number of quarters be q.
i) "you have twice as many quarters as dimes and 42 coins in all."
means that 2d=q, and n+d+q=42
we can reduce the number of unknowns by substituting q with 2d:
n+d+q=42
n+d+2d=42
n+3d=42
We can write all n, d and q in terms of d as follows:
there are n=42-3d nickels, d dimes and q=2d quarters.
ii) In total there are $6.60 dollars,
1 nickel = 5 cent = $0.05
1 dime = 10 cent = $0.1
1 quarter = 25 cent = $0.25
thus
(42-3d)*0.05 + d*0.1 +2d*0.25= $6.60
2.1 - 0.15d+0.1d+0.5d=6.60
2.1+0.45d=6.6
0.45d=6.6-2.1=4.5
d=4.5/0.45=10
iii)
so, there are 10 dimes, 2d=2*10=20 quarters and 42-3d=42-3*10=12 nickels.
Answer: 10 dimes, 20 quarters, 12 nickels
