The answer to the riddle is a stamp. By solving for each variable, we determined their values and arranged them from least to greatest: D < E < G < F < C < A < B, which corresponds to -6.17 < 0.75 < 0.375 < 2.27 < 15 < 18 < 23.85. The stamp, mentioned in the riddle, fits this order.
To solve the riddle, you need to find the value of each variable by using the given expressions and the graph. Here are the steps:
Find A: A is the length of the line segment from the origin to the point (18, 0). Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can find that A = sqrt(18^2 + 0^2) = 18 mm.
Find B: B is the length of the line segment from the point (18, 0) to the point (0, 15). Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can find that B = sqrt((18 - 0)^2 + (15 - 0)^2) = 23.85 mm.
Find C: C is the length of the line segment from the point (0, 15) to the point (0, 0). C is simply the y-coordinate of the point (0, 15), which is 15 mm.
Find D: D is the value of the expression 5a - 2, where a is the slope of the line passing through the points (0, 15) and (18, 0). To find a, we can use the formula a = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1), where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of the two points. Plugging in the values, we get a = (0 - 15) / (18 - 0) = -0.833. Then, D = 5a - 2 = 5 * (-0.833) - 2 = -6.17.
Find E: E is the value of the expression 9 / 12, which is 0.75.
Find F: F is the value of the expression 2 * 17 / 15, which is 2.27.
Find G: G is the value of the expression 21 / 56, which is 0.375.
Now that we have found the values of all the variables, we can arrange them from least to greatest. The order is:
D < E < G < F < C < A < B
-6.17 < 0.75 < 0.375 < 2.27 < 15 < 18 < 23.85
The answer to the riddle is a stamp. A stamp sits in a corner of an envelope but travels around the world when the envelope is mailed.
