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

50 Points: Name the similar triangles & Prove the similarity with details
Leno4ka [110]

<u>Let's consider the facts at hand</u>:

  • By Vertical Angle Theorem ⇒ ∠BCE = ∠DCF
  • ∠BEC = ∠DFC
  • Sides BE = DF

<u>Based on the diagram, triangles BCE and triangles DCF are similar</u>

   ⇒ based on the Angle-Angle theorem

      ⇒ since ∠BCE = ∠DCF and ∠BEC = ∠DFC

         ⇒ the two triangles are similar

Hope that helps!

<em>Definitions of Theorem I used:</em>

  • <u><em>Vertical Angle Theorem: </em></u><em>opposite angles of two intersecting lines must be equal</em>
  • <u><em>Angle-Angle Theorem:</em></u><em> if two angles of both triangles are equal, then the given triangles must be similar</em>

Few students manage to complete their schooling without taking a standardized admissions test such as the Scholastic Achievement
slega [8]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming there is a punitive removal of one point for an incorrect response.

Five undiscernable choices: 20% chance of guessing correctly -- Expectation: 0.20*(1) + 0.80*(-1) = -0.60

Four undiscernable choices: 25% chance of guessing correctly -- Expectation: 0.25*(1) + 0.75*(-1) = -0.50

I'll use 0.33 as an approzimation for 1/3

Three undiscernable choices: 33% chance of guessing correctly -- Expectation: 0.33*(1) + 0.67*(-1) = -0.33 <== The approximation is a little ugly.

Two undiscernable choices: 50% chance of guessing correctly -- Expectation: 0.50*(1) + 0.50*(-1) = 0.00

And thus we see that only if you can remove three is guessing neutral. There is no time when guessing is advantageous.

One Correct Answer: 100% chance of guessing correctly -- Expectation: 1.00*(1) + 0.00*(-1) = 1.00
