an island has some portion submerged in water. point a on the island is at negative 7 over 3 feet from the surface of the sea. point b on the island is at negative 5 over 2 feet from the surface of the sea. because negative 7 over 3 feet > negative 5 over 2 feet, what is true about the distance of the two points from the surface of the sea?

Tell me how you got the it use the figures to answer questions 1and 2. in each diagram, line k is parallel to line l, and line t intersects lines. 1. based on the diagrams, what is the value of x? 2. how would you verify your answer for x?

Set $r$ is a set of rectangles such that (1) only the grid points shown here are used as vertices, (2) all sides are vertical or horizontal and (3) no two rectangles in the set are congruent. if $r$ contains the maximum possible number of rectangles given these conditions, what fraction of the rectangles in set $r$ are squares? express your answer as a common fraction.

Using inductive reasoning, what are the next two number in this set? 2,3/2,4/3,5/4,
