Find the distance between the two points rounding to the nearest tenth (if necessary).)

Answer:

9.8

Step-by-step explanation:

First you would use the distance formula:

  • √[(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²]

Plug in the points into the formula, so x₂ would be 0 and y₂ would be -9

  • √[(0 - 9)² + (-9 + 5)²]
  • Reminder: two negatives make a positive so (-9 - -5) changes to (-9 + 5)

The answer would be 9.8488578018 plugged into the calculator or 9.8 rounded to the tenth place.

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

1. √74; 2. (24.5, 21.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Distance

You could use the distance formula to calculate the length of PQ, but I prefer a visual approach, because it requires less memorization.

Draw a horizontal line from P and a vertical line from Q until they intersect at R (28, 19).

Then you have a right triangle PQR, and you can use Pythagoras' theorem to calculate PQ.

\begin{array}{rcl}PQ^{2} & = & PR^{2} + QR^{2}\\& = & 7^{2} + 5^{2}\\ & = & 49 + 25\\& = & 74\\PQ& = & \mathbf{\sqrt{74}}\\\end{array}\\\text{d(P,Q) = $\large \boxed{\mathbf{\sqrt{74}}}$}

2. Midpoint of line

The coordinates of the midpoint are half-way between the x- and y-coordinates of the end points.

For the x-coordinate, the half-way point is

(21 + 28)/2 = 49/2 = 24.5

For the y-coordinate,  the half-way point is

(19 +24)/2 = 43/2 = 21.5

The coordinates of the midpoint M are (24.5, 21.5).

siniylev [52]

There are 91 such ways in whih the volunteers can be assigned if two of them cannot be assigned from 14 volunteers.

Given that a school dance committee has 14 volunteers and each dance requires 3 volunteers at the door, 5 volunteers on the floor and 6 on floaters.

We are required to find the number of ways in which the volunteers can be assigned.

Combinations means finding the ways in which the things can be choosed to make a new thing or to do something else.

nC_{r}=n!/r!(n-r)!

Number of ways in which the volunteers can be assigned is equal to the following:

Since 2 have not been assigned so left over volunteers are 14-2=12 volunteers.

Number of ways =14C_{12}

=14!/12!(14-12)!

=14!/12!*2!

=14*13/2*1

=91 ways

Hence there are 91 such ways in whih the volunteers can be assigned if two of them cannot be assigned.

Tara places a picture in a picture frame. The width of the picture is x inches, and the length of the picture is 2 inches more t
CaHeK987 [17]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

The dimensions of the outside of the picture rame are:
Width   = x + 1 + 1 = x + 2 inches
Length = (x+2) + 1 + 1 = x + 4 inches.

The perimeter of the outside of the picture frame is 28 inches.
Therefore
2(x + 2) + 2(x+4) = 28

Solve for x.
2x + 4 + 2x + 8 = 28
4x + 12 = 28
4x = 16
x = 4 inches

Answer: 4 inches
