The line plot below shows the lengths of bolts Mr. Slivka found in his drawer. He needs 16 bolts that are longer than 1 inch for a project he is working on. Does he have enough bolts for his project? A line plot named A. Yes. There are 16 bolts that have lengths greater than 1 inch, which is just enough. B. Yes. There are 18 bolts that have lengths greater than 1 inch, which is more than enough. C. No. There are only 3 bolts with lengths greater than 1 inch, which is not enough. D. No. There are only 12 bolts that have lengths greater than 1 inch, which is not enough.

D No. as there are only 12 bolts longer than 1inch.

Mr. Slivka needs 16 bolts of greater than 1 measure, and there are only 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

We cannot include 1 inch data as this is not over 1 inch like the 1inch 2/8 and 1inch 4/8 etc. the greater measures of over 1 inch count to 12.

We know they are greater as they do not have a negative sign next to the added fraction of 1 2/8 or 1 4/8.

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2
