enter your response here

Part 1. 7 inches (longer piece)

Part 2: 5 inches (shorter piece)

Step-by-step explanation:

There is 12 inches in total, given that one piece is 5 inches longer, the other part of the 5 inches would be 7 inches which is the longer side.

5 inches would be the shorter side.

the required function is .

step-by-step explanation:

from the given table it is noticed that the graph passing through (-3,7), (0,4), (3,1) and (8,-4).

it is a linear function because the value of y is decrease by one as the value of x increase by 1.

the slope of the function is

the slope of the function is -1 and the y-intercept is 4.

the slope intercept form is

where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.

therefore the required function is . the graph of this function is shown below.
