Answer:

Segment LM is 0.5 units longer than segment JK.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that segment JK has a length of 4.5 units. If segment LM has end points of L (3,1) and M (-1,4).

We will find length of segment LM using distance formula.

D=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

Substitute given values:

D=\sqrt{(3-(-1))^2+(1-4)^2}

D=\sqrt{(3+1)^2+(-3)^2}

D=\sqrt{(4)^2+(-3)^2}

D=\sqrt{16+9}

D=\sqrt{25}

D=5

Therefore, the distance of segment LM is 5 units.

Now, we will find the difference between segment LM and JK as:

\text{Difference between LM and JK}=5-4.5

\text{Difference between LM and JK}=0.5

Therefore, segment LM is 0.5 units longer than segment JK.

Distance formula:
d= \sqrt{ (x_{2}-x_{1}) ^{2}+( y_{2} - y_{1} )^{2}}\\ d= \sqrt{ (3-(-1)) ^{2}+(1 - 4 )^{2}}\\ d= \sqrt{ (4) ^{2}+(-3)^{2}}\\ d=\sqrt{16+9}\\ d=\sqrt{25}\\ d=5

5 units-4.5 units=0.5 units

LM is 0.5 units longer than LM.

If a variable has a distribution that is​ bell-shaped with mean 19 and standard deviation 7​, then according to the Empirical​ R
melamori03 [73]
The empirical rule says that approximately 68% of a normal distribution falls within one standard deviation of the mean. In this case, this would include all values of the variable in the interval (19-7,19+7)=(12,26).

Find the midpoint of side EF. (4 points)
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

Midpoint of side EF would be (-.5,4.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the coordinates of a mid-point C(e,f) of a line segment AB with vertices A(a,b) and B(c,d) is given by:

e=a+c/2,f=b+d/2

Here we have to find the mid-point of side EF.

E(-2,3) i.e. (a,b)=(2,3)

and F(1,6) i.e. (c,d)=(1,6)

Hence, the coordinate of midpoint of EF is:

e=-2+1/2, f=3+6/2

e=-1/2, f=9/2

e=.5, f=4.5

SO, the mid-point would be (-0.5,4.5)
