Show Me! How are these
statements alike and
different? Cal has 12 fewer
blocks than Mia. Mia has
12 more blocks than Cal.

They are alike.

The first statement means whatever Cal has is 12 blocks less than that of Mia e.g if cal has 14 then Mia will have 26.

The second statement means whatever Mia has is 12 blocks more than that of Cal e.g if Mia has 26 blocks Cal will have 14 blocks.

Both statements testify that Mia has 12 more blocks than Cal

the sum of all the angles in a triangle are equal to 180

so you can add   the 3 given angles together to equal 180:

5y + 2y + 2y = 180

or since all three angles have the same letter, combine the 3 angles to equal 180:

9y = 180

the formula for the equation of a circle is (x – h)2+ (y – k)2 = r2, where (h, k) represents the coordinates of the center of the circle, and r represents the radius of the circle. if a circle is tangent to the x-axis at (3,0), this means it touches the x-axis at that point.
