Answer:

8.5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between two points is given by

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

Taking points (-12, 11) and (-18, 17) as the first and second points respectively then

$d=\sqrt{(-18--12)^{2}+(17-11)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt {36+36}$

d=8.48528137423857 units

Rounded off to nearest tenths

d=8.5 units

Use the Pythagorean Theorem
RP^2 = 5.3^2 + 3^2
RP^2 = 28.09 + 9
RP^2 = 37.09
RP = 6.0901559914 
So, the answer is 6.1

Find the slant height of the cone.

sammy [17]

Answer:

The slant height is $13m$

Step-by-step explanation:

The slant height of the cone, $l$ , can be found using Pythagoras Theorem.

$l^2=12^2+(\frac{10}{2})^2$

$l^2=12^2+(5)^2$

$l^2=144+25$

$l^2=169$

$l=\sqrt{169}$

$l=13m$

The value of 33 + 42 = ___.

frez [133]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We line up the tens place of 33 and 42 as well as the ones place so that it looks like:

+42

--------

Then we add first the ones, which is 3 + 2 for 5. Then we add the tens together, 3 + 4 is 7. We put the five first since its in the ones place and the 7 second since its in the tens place for 75.

What is the relationship between the segments PQ and P’Q’

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

$\frac{PQ}{P'Q'}=2.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal

In this problem Triangles OQP and OQ'P' are similar by AA Similarity Postulate

$\frac{PQ}{P'Q'}=\frac{OP}{OP'}$

we have

$OP=12-2=10\ units$

$OP'=6-2=4\ units$

substitute

$\frac{PQ}{P'Q'}=\frac{10}{4}=2.5$
