You would have to use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this.

Step 1:
-Create a triangle using point (-5,-1)
Step 2:
-Find the base and height of the triangle created.
Base=distance from (-5,0) and point A, (3,-1). (Base is 8 units)
Height=distance from (-5,0) to (-5,5). (Height is 6 units)
Step 3:
Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the hypotenuse length which is the line segment AC.
8^2+6^2=(AC)^2
64+36=(AC)^2
100=(AC)^2
10=AC
AC is ten units long

Adam’s father is 3 times as old as Adam. Two years ago, Adam was 15 years old. How old will his father be in 5 years?

Nata [24]

Answer: 56 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Adam's age be $x$ , since the father is 3 times as old as him , then the father will be $3x$ .

Two years ago

Adam = $x - 2$

Father = $3x - 2$

since Adam was 15 years old 2 years ago , this means that

$x-2=15$

add 2 to both sides

$x = 17$

Therefore , Adam is presently 17 years old , then the father will be 3(17) years , which means that the father is presently 51 years old.

In 5 years time , the father will be 51 + 5 years old. That is , the father will be 56 years old in 5 years time

Bess [88]

Lets look at the info we have:-

23 orders for Pepsi.
15 orders for mountain dew.

Question:-
How many more orders have there been for Pepsi than for Mountain Dew?

To answer this we will subtract the amount of Pepsi's ordered by the amount of Mountain Dew's ordered. The answer will be the amount of more Pepsi's ordered than the Mountain Dew's.

23 - 15 = 8
8 more Pepsi's were sold than Mountain Dew's.

CHECK OUR WORK:-

15 + 8 = 23
We were RIGHT!!!

So, 8 more Pepsi's were ordered than Mountain Dew's.

Hope I helped ya!1 xD

Allana used Fraction 3 over 5 yard of fabric to make a scarf. Can she make 2 of these scarves with Fraction 1 and 7 over 10 yard

ikadub [295]

Answer:

The answer is actully the third one

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide 1 7/10 by 3/5 to see if the quotient is greater than 2. If it's not, you can't get 2 scarves out of it. If it is, then you can get 2 scarves out of it and have whatever the remainder is as left-over. Before we divide, let's change that 1 7/10 into an improper fraction since it will be easier to work with.

1 7/10 = 17/10

Now we can divide:

The rule for dividing fractions is that you bring up the lower fraction and flip it to multiply, so that looks like this:

To simplify before we multiply, we can reduce between the 5 and the 10 and have smaller numbers to deal with:

The product there is

So the answer you want from your choices is

"Yes, because the quotient of Fraction 1 and 7 over 10 [division sign]Fraction 3 over 5 is 2 and 5 over 6", third choice
