Patrick takes a sheet of paper and cuts from one corner to theopposite corner, making two triangles. If the piece of paper is 22inches long and 23 inches wide, what is the length of the cut (nearesttenth)?Cut23 in22 in

31.8 ins to the nearest tenth.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Pythagoras theorem:

Length of the cut =  √(22^2 + 23^2)

= √1013

= 31.83 inches.

x = -3

y = -18

step-by-step explanation:

to solve by substitution, substitute one variable and solve for the other. then substitute again to find the remaining variable.

x-1/3(3x-9) = -3 since y=3x-9 substittute y.

x-1/3(3x-9)=-3

x + x +3 = -3

2x+3=-3

2x+3-3= -3-3

2x=-6

x=-3

substitute again into y=3x-9

y=3(-3)-9

y=-9-9

y=-18

i got 10.28 but that rounds up to 10.3
