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

Answer:

2916 ft^3

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, the diameter if 18 ft, making the radius 9 feet. Now, we plug in the values into the formula and simplify.

$\frac{4}{3}* 3 * 9^3$
$\frac{4}{3} * 3 * 729$
$4 * 729$
$2916$

Therefore, the volume is 2916 ft^3.

1.What is value of x?

Vesnalui [34]

For the first picture..........

|AB| |BD|
-----=-----
|AC| |DC|

x+8 10
-----=----
2x-5 14

10(2x-5)=14(x+8)

20x-50 = 14x+112

20x-14x = 112+50

6x = 162

x= 162/6

x=27.....

For the second picture.......

AD| |AC|
-----=-----
|DB| |CB|

3 4
--=---
x 7.5

4×X = 3×7.5

x = 22.5/4

x = 5.625....

Y=-3 - x, how to draw the graph

adell [148]

Answer: See attachment below (graphing)

Step-by-step explanation:

INFORMATION:

The slope-intercept is when y=mx+b

mx=the slope

b=y-intercept

REPHRASE EQUATION:

y=mx+b

y=-3-x

y=(-1)x-3

CONCLUSION:

Slope=-1

Y-intercept=-3

Hope this helps!! :)
