Find the distance between the points. (r, s) and (0, 0)

zhenek [66]2 years ago

Answer:  \sqrt{r^2+s^2

=====================================================

Reason:

Plot the points (0,0) and (r,s). You can place (r,s) anywhere you want.

Connect the two points mentioned and form a right triangle such that the segment from (0,0) to (r,s) is the hypotenuse of said right triangle.

The horizontal leg has a length of r-0 = r units, while the vertical leg will be 's' units.

Check out the diagram below.

We then apply the pythagorean theorem to say r^2+s^2 = h^2 where h is the hypotenuse. Solving for h gets us h = \sqrt{r^2+s^2}. We only focus on the positive square root since a negative hypotenuse makes no sense.

Since we made the hypotenuse the segment with endpoints (r,s) and (0,0), this means the hypotenuse length and the distance are the same thing.

Therefore, the distance from (r,s) to (0,0) is \sqrt{r^2+s^2}

As an alternative, you can use the distance formula to get the same answer. The distance formula is effectively the pythagorean theorem phrased a different way.

What is the value of the angle marked with x?
morpeh [17]

Given:

Quadrilateral with opposite lines are parallel.

To find:

The value of x

Solution:

Quadrilateral with opposite lines are parallel.

Therefore the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.

In parallelogram, the adjacent angles are supplementary angles.

⇒ 48° + x = 180°

Subtract 48° from both sides.

⇒ 48° + x - 48° = 180° - 48°

⇒ x = 132°

The value of the angle x is 132°.

The combined height of one fir tree and one pine tree is 212121 meters. The height of 444 fir trees stacked on top of each other
Drupady [299]

Answer:

Height of fir tree = 9 meters

height of pine tree= 12 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The combined height of one fir tree and one pine tree is 21 meters. The height of 4 fir trees stacked on top of each other is 24 meters taller than one pine tree.

Let x be the height of fir tree and y be the height of pine tree

x+y=21

Subtract x from both sides

y=21-x

height of 4 fir trees = pine tree +24

4x=y+24

Substitute 21-x or y in the above equation

4x=21-x+24

Add x on both sides

5x=45

Divide by 5 on both sides

x=9

Now plug in 9 for x and find out y

y=21-x

y=21-9

y=12

Height of fir tree = 9 meters

height of pine tree= 12 meters
