Compare the lengths of sides. If all sides are different, the triangle is scalene; if two sides are equal, it is isosceles; if all sides are equal, it is equilateral. Given sides 7 cm, 10 cm, and 13 cm, since all are different, the triangle is scalene.

Round or approximate the value based on the context of the given precision. For sqrt47, approximate to 1 decimal place by finding closest perfect squares (e.g., sqrt49 = 7, sqrt36 = 6), resulting in approximately 6.9. For 38.29/0.198 to 2 significant figures, perform division to get ~193.4 and round this to 190.

To find the HCF, identify the smallest power of all common prime factors among the numbers and multiply them. For the LCM, multiply the highest power of all prime factors present in any of the numbers. For example, using 84, 120, and 144: The prime factorization of 84 is 2^2 * 3 * 7, for 120 is 2^3 * 3 * 5, and for 144 is 2^4 * 3^2. The HCF is 2^2 * 3 = 12, and the LCM is 2^4 * 3^2 * 5 * 7 = 5040.

Substitute values of x into the equation to find corresponding y values. For y = 3x - 5, substituting x = -1 gives y = -8, x = 0 gives y = -5, x = 1 gives y = -2, x = 2 gives y = 1, x = 3 gives y = 4. Plot these points, draw a straight line connecting them, indicating the graph's gradient (slope) of 3 and y-intercept of -5. Use graph to estimate values, e.g., x when y=4 is approximately 3, confirming linearity and intercept behavior.

The maximum possible density is calculated by dividing the maximum possible mass by the minimum possible volume based on measurement limits. Given the mass of 5.6 kg to 1 decimal place and volume of 2.1 m³ to 2 significant figures, the bounds for mass are 5.55 kg to 5.65 kg, and for volume, 2.05 m³ to 2.15 m³. Thus, maximum density = 5.65 kg / 2.05 m³ ≈ 2.7561 kg/m³.

Classify as regular if all sides and angles are equal; otherwise, irregular. For the sum of interior angles, use formula (n-2) x 180, where n is the number of sides. A regular pentagon has 5 sides and sum of angles (5-2)x180 = 540 degrees. An octagon has 8 sides and sum of 1080 degrees, classifying it as regular if angles and sides are equal.

Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions and perform operations. For 4.75 - 2 3/4 + 0.625, convert to 4 3/4 = 19/4, 2 3/4 = 11/4, thus 4.75 - 2 3/4 = (19/4 - 11/4) = 8/4 = 2. Add 0.625 (5/8) to get 2 + 0.625 = 2.625 or 21/8.

Sum of interior angles in a quadrilateral is 360 degrees. Given angles of 110, 95, and 80, calculate the fourth angle as 360 - (110 + 95 + 80) = 75 degrees. Since all angles are different, it is an irregular quadrilateral.

Use the properties of the triangle and the sum of angles, which is 180 degrees. In triangle ABC where AB = AC and angle BAC = 70 degrees, the triangle is isosceles, thus angles ABC and ACB are equal. Let these angles be x. Therefore, 70 + x + x = 180, solving gives x = 55 degrees, so the other angles are 55 degrees each.

Substitute the given values into the expression and perform arithmetic operations step by step. For expression ab^2 - 3c + 2a^2b with a = -3, b = 2, and c = -4, substitute to get (-3)(2^2) - 3(-4) + 2(-3)^2(2). This simplifies to -12 + 12 + 36, resulting in a final simplified value of 36.
