The image presented in the figure is a black and white copy of the square canvas titled The Fish, by Marcos Pinto, which was placed on a wall for exhibition and fixed at points A and B (figure 1). Due to a problem in fixing one of the points, the canvas detached and rotated close to the wall. After the rotation, it was positioned as illustrated in figure 2, forming a 45° angle with the horizon line. Figure 1 Figure 2 To put the canvas back in its original position, it should be rotated, close to the wall, at the smallest possible angle less than 360°. The way to put the canvas back in the original position, following what was established, is by rotating it at an angle of

Consider a Cartesian coordinate system where a point P has coordinates (a, b) and a point Q has coordinates (c, d). The absolute value of a number is defined as its distance from the origin of this system. If point P is in the second quadrant and point Q is in the fourth quadrant, with a, b, c, and d being integers, and it is known that the absolute difference between the y coordinates of P and Q is 15, determine the value of a - c, knowing that a < 0 and c > 0.

Imagine you are helping your younger brother with a Math assignment. He asked you what a rational number is. Explain to him, in a simple way, what a rational number is. Remember to mention the different ways a rational number can be written, such as fractions, decimal numbers, and recurring decimals.
