Explain how the pythagorean theorem is used to derive the distance formula​

Mathematics

Answer:

In the Pythagorean Theorem, a right triangles hypotenuse is found by a^2 +b^2= c^2. The distance formula is basically the same thing. With two points, a right triangle can be formed and the slop would be the hypotenuse. That's where the distance formula comes from

15 POINTS!!!!!! PLEASE HELP!!The length of a rectangle is four times its width. If the perimeter is at most 130 centimeters, wha
marin [14]
Here is the information we have:

1. The perimeter is at most 130 cm.
2. The length of the rectangle is 4 times the width.
    We can let l stand for length and w for width.

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is 2l + 2w.
We have to change the formula a bit.
The length of this rectangle is going to be 4 times the width
So, replace 2l with 2(4w).

Then make this equation equal to 130.

2(4w) + 2w = 130 ; Start
8w + 2w = 130      ; Distribute the 2 across the 4w
10w = 130             ; Combine the like terms 8w and 2w
w = 13                   ; Divide both sides by the coefficient of w. Which is 10

(05.08)Solve for x: 7 over 8 minus 1 over x equals 3 over 4.
NemiM [27]

If you are asking 7/8 - 1/x= 3/4,

first put 3/4 to 6/8 to make it easier.

Move the 7/8 over to the right. You will get 1/x=-1/8.

Simplify, it is x=-8.

Check=7/8 - 1/8=6/8

It checks out.

Answer:

∠ BAC = 80°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the interior angles of quadrilateral ACDB = 360°

DB and DC are tangents to the circle, thus

∠ DBA = ∠ ACD = 90° ( angle between tangent/ circle at point of contact )

Thus

∠ BAC + 90° + 90° + 100° = 360°

∠ BAC + 280° = 360° ( subtract 280° from both sides )

∠ BAC = 80°
