Use the distance formula to calculate the length of the leg CD

To calculate the distance between two points on the coordinate system you have to use the following formula:

d=\sqrt[]{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}

Where

d represents the distance between both points.

(x₁,y₁) are the coordinates of one of the points.

(x₂,y₂) are the coordinates of the second point.

To determine the length of CD, the first step is to determine the coordinates of both endpoints from the graph

C(2,-1)

D(-1,-2)

Replace the coordinates on the formula using C(2,-1) as (x₁,y₁) and D(-1,-2) as (x₂,y₂)

\begin{gathered} d_{CD}=\sqrt[]{(2-(-1))^2+((-1)-(-2))}^2 \\ d_{CD}=\sqrt[]{(2+1)^2+(-1+2)^2} \\ d_{CD}=\sqrt[]{3^2+1^2} \\ d_{CD}=\sqrt[]{9+1} \\ d_{CD}=\sqrt[]{10} \end{gathered}

The length of CD is √10 units ≈ 3.16 units

A brace for a shelf has the shape of a right triangle. Its hypotenuse is 10 inches long and the two legs are equal in length. Ho
vagabundo [1.1K]
This is a classic example of a 45-45-90 triangle: it's a right triangle (one angle of 90) & two other sides of the same length, which means two angles of the same length (and 45 is the only number that will work). With a 45-45-90 triangle, the lengths of the legs are easy to determine:
45-45-90
1-1-sqrt2
Where the hypotenuse corresponds to sqrt2.
Now, your hypotenuse is 10.
To figure out what each leg is, divide 10/sqrt2 (because sqrt2/sqrt2 = 1, which is a leg length in the explanation above).
Problem: you can't divide by radicals. So, we'll have to rationalize the denominator:
(10•sqrt2)/(sqrt2•sqrt2)
This can be rewritten:
10sqrt2/sqrt(2•2)
=10sqrt2/sqrt4
=10sqrt2/2
=5sqrt2 Hope this helps!!

How to estimate 96 Times 34 what is the answer
Marrrta [24]

When it says to estimate, I always think of doing it by hand to show work.  So set it up like this:

  96

<u>x 34</u>

So follow it out multiplying across 4*6 and 4*9 carrying over as needed to get it to look like this:

  96

<u>x 34</u>

384


Do the same for the 3 to get this:

  96

<u>x 34</u>

  384

2880

Add 384+2880=3264

Your final answer is 3,264

Brianna solved a two-step equation, but she made a mistake along the way.
Makovka662 [10]

The appropriate choice is ...

... On Line 3, Brianna should have divided by 0.1 instead of subtracting 0.1.

_____

Had Brianna simplified her effort properly on line 4, she would have

... -0.1 +0.1x = -1.4

putting her essentially back where she started—with a 2-step equation.
