PLS I NED HELP PLS PLS PLS
ODE TO AN OTTER
I ought to be an otter, ‘cause when all is said and done
I could play along the riverbank, or stretch out in the sun.
I’d swim beneath the water, or backstroke up on top.
I’d dive in like a graceful swan, or do a belly flop.
My days would be so peaceful as a furry, swimming mammal
As opposed to bearing burdens like a one-humped desert camel.
I wouldn’t want to herd sheep like a working collie dog
Or end up an amphibian—a turtle, toad, or frog.
But oh, to be an otter! It would be a stroke of luck
Just to spend all day a-swimmin’, or a-rollin’ in the muck.
But oh, as fate would have it, I’m required to spend my time
Doing schoolwork. What a pity. It seems like such a crime.
The month of May has ended, and all across the nation
The schools have shut their doors, and all of the kids are on vacation.
Yet here it’s still the school year, and it can’t end too soon,
But the days are standing still, stretching till the end of June.
Ah, the otter, who, when sunshine makes the heat rise at the shore,
Stays within its coolsome burrow, eating clams and snails and more.
It swims along the river, catching crayfish, frogs, and trout.
I’d be an awesome otter—of that I have no doubt. Right now I watch the summer tapping at each window pane
And count the days till school is out, and I can swim again.
I’ll walk in glorious mud that squeezes coolness through my toes
And skip along the river, free from tests and schoolwork woes.
Till then, I’ll be an otter, but only in my head,
And start the summer early there, along the riverbed.
‘Cause if I was an otter and could romp and roll and roam,
I wouldn’t have to think of what to write for my class poem.

Answer:

(look in the the Step by step)

Step-by-step explanation:

When the diagonals of a quadrilateral are perpendicular, the area of that quadrilateral is half the product of their lengths.

.. A = (1/2)*d₁*d₂

Substituting the given information, this becomes

.. 58 in² = (1/2)*(14.5 in)*d₂

.. 2*58/14.5 in = d₂ = 8 in

The length of diagonal BD is 8 in.

Answer:

BD = 8 in.

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf 2 \ hours}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set up a proportion to solve. Use the following setup:

[tex]\frac {hours}{miles}=\frac{hours}{miles}[/tex]

We know that it takes Oliver 4 hours to drive 278 miles.

[tex]\frac {4 \ hours}{278 \ miles}=\frac{hours}{miles}[/tex]

We don't know how long it takes him to drive 139 miles. Therefore, we use the variable x for hours, because it is unknown.

[tex]\frac {4 \ hours}{278 \ miles}=\frac{x \ hours}{139 \ miles}[/tex]

[tex]\frac {4 }{278 }=\frac{x \ hours}{139 }[/tex]

We are solving for x, the hours it takes him to drive 139 miles. The variable must be isolated. It is being divided by 139 and the inverse of division is multiplication. Multiply both sides of the equation by 139.

[tex]139*\frac {4 }{278 }=\frac{x \ hours}{139 }*139[/tex]

[tex]139*\frac {4 }{278 }={x }[/tex]

[tex]2=x[/tex]

It takes Oliver 2 hours to drive 139 miles.

Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

Length x width = area (6 x 6 = 36). Hope this helps.

Answer:

the perimeter is 28

Step-by-step explanation:

2+2=4

12+12=24

24+4=28

Answer:

Perimeter = 28 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the area of a rectangle is Length * width and we already have one dimension here, so we simply plug it in and make an equation to the find the unknown measurement

12 * d = 24

d = 24/12

 d = 2

So the missing dimension is 2 feet

Now we simply find the perimeter of the rectangle  using the formula

   2 ( length + width)

 = 2 (12 + 2 )

           = 2 ( 14 )

           = 28 feet

Answer:

x=−7

Solving for X:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of your equation.

5x−22=7x−8

Step 2: Subtract 7x from both sides.

5x−22−7x=7x−8−7x

−2x−22=−8

Step 3: Add 22 to both sides.

−2x−22+22=−8+22

−2x=14

Step 4: Divide both sides by -2.

-2x/-2 = 14/-2

^ x = -7

THEREFORE:

x is −7

Answer:

3x4

Step-by-step explanation:

If you draw a rectangle with a length of 4 and a width of 3, it will have 12 sq units as the area.

This is because A=lw. If the area is 12, the length and width must multiply to get 12. 3x4=12.

[tex] \huge \frak \green{question}[/tex]

prove that √p is an irrational number , if p is not a perfect square.

[tex] \huge \frak \red{answer}[/tex]

Let us assume, to the contrary, that √p is rational. So, we can find coprime integers a and b(b ≠ 0) such that :-

=> √p = a/b

=> √p b = a

=> pb² = a² ….(i) [Squaring both the sides]

=> a² is divisible by p

=> a is divisible by p So, we can write a = pc for some integer c.

Therefore,

a² = p²c² ….[Squaring both the sides]

=> pb² = p²c² ….[From (i)]

=> b² = pc²

=> b² is divisible by p

=> b is divisible by p

=> p divides both a and b.

=> a and b have at least p as a common factor.

But this contradicts the fact that a and b are coprime. This contradiction arises because we have assumed that √p is rational. Therefore, √p is irrational.

Answer:

Fred's total net worth is $61,900

Step-by-step explanation:

For net worth, add assets together and then subtract the liabilities from the total:

90,000 + 12,500 + 20,200

122,700 - (53,000 + 5,800 + 2,000)

61,900

Answer:

$61,900

Explanation:

Add all the assets: 90000 + 12500 + 20200 = 122700

Add all the liabilities: 53000 + 5800 + 2000 = 60800

Total assets - liabilities: 122700 - 60800 = $61900

Given:

Arc length = 6.6 cm

Radius = 14 cm

To find:

The angle subtended by the arc at the center.

Solution:

The formula for arc length is:

[tex]s=2\pi r\dfrac{\theta}{360}[/tex]

Where, s is the arc length, r is the radius and [tex]\theta[/tex] is the central angle in degrees.

Putting [tex]s=6.6,\pi=\dfrac{22}{7},r=14[/tex],we get

[tex]6.6=2\times \dfrac{22}{7}\times 14\times \dfrac{\theta}{360}[/tex]

[tex]6.6=88\times \dfrac{\theta}{360}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{6.6}{88}\times 360=\theta[/tex]

[tex]27^\circ=\theta[/tex]

Therefore, the measure of the central angle is [tex]27^\circ[/tex].
