A swimming pool is represented on a coordinate grid with the following vertices: Vertex A is at (−2,−3) . Vertex B is at ​​ (−2,

5) . Vertex C is at (3,5) . Vertex D is at (3,−3) . While Jared cleans the pool, he walks from vertex A to vertex B, then to vertex C, then to vertex D, and then back to vertex A. One unit on the grid equals 1 yard. What is the total distance Jared has walked? Enter your answer in the box.

Answer:

26 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the distance walked by Jared by finding the distances between each of the given vertex of swimming pool. We will use distance formula to find the distances between each vertex.  

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

\text{Distance between vertex A and vertex B}=\sqrt{(-2--2)^{2}+(-3-5)^{2}}  

\text{Distance between vertex A and vertex B}=\sqrt{(-2+2)^{2}+(-8)^{2}}

\text{Distance between vertex A and vertex B}=\sqrt{(0)^{2}+(-8)^{2}}

\text{Distance between vertex A and vertex B}=\sqrt{64}=8

Now let us find distance between vertex B and vertex C.

\text{Distance between vertex B and vertex C}=\sqrt{(-2-3)^{2}+(5-5)^{2}}

\text{Distance between vertex B and vertex C}=\sqrt{(-5)^{2}+(0)^{2}}

\text{Distance between vertex B and vertex C}=\sqrt{25}=5

Now let us find distance between vertex C and vertex D.

\text{Distance between vertex C and vertex D}=\sqrt{(3-3)^{2}+(5--3)^{2}}

\text{Distance between vertex C and vertex D}=\sqrt{(0)^{2}+(5+3)^{2}}

\text{Distance between vertex C and vertex D}=\sqrt{64}=8

Now let us find distance between vertex D and vertex A.

\text{Distance between vertex D and vertex A}=\sqrt{(3--2)^{2}+(-3--3)^{2}}  

\text{Distance between vertex D and vertex A}=\sqrt{(3+2)^{2}+(-3+3)^{2}}    

\text{Distance between vertex D and vertex A}=\sqrt{(5)^{2}+(0)^{2}}

\text{Distance between vertex D and vertex A}=\sqrt{25}=5

Now let us add all these distances to find the total distance walked by Jared.  

\text{Total distance walked by Jared}=8+5+8+5

\text{Total distance walked by Jared}=26  

Since we have been given that one unit on the grid equals 1 yard,   therefore, Jared walked a distance equal to 26 yards.

If a = 1, find the values of b, c and d that make the given expression equivalent to the expression below.
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

To do this, you need to multiply out the expressions. This is a bit tedious, but remember like FOIL for binomials, for these trinomials you must multiply each term. If you need a step-by-step, I'd be happy to provide it. Let me know.

Once you have simplified the expression, you get

-x-9/2x-4

But, the problem stipulates that a must equal 1. We can equivalently factor out the negative sign and put it on the denominator with no change to write

x+9/-(2x-4) = x+9/-2x+4

So, seeing where each coefficient corresponds between the two expressions, you get a = 1, b = 9, c = –2, and d = 4.

Nicholas wrote the steps below to
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

He does not divide the numerator and the denominator by the same number. Nicholas divides 20 by 5 and 30 by 6. He ought to have divided 30 by 5 as well and then simplified.

P.S. Nicholas should have just divided both 20 and 30 by 10 to simplify in one step
