The distance formula is given by:

d=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2} }

We are given two points A and B as

A(1,1) and

B(7,-7)

so we have ,

x1 = 1 , y1=1

x2= 7 and y2=-7

Plugging these in the formula we have:

d=\sqrt{(7-1)^{2}+(-7-1)^{2} }

d=√(36+64)

d=√100

d=10

Answer: The distance between A(1,1) and B(7,-7) is 10

Answer:

d=10 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello.

Step 1

the formula of the distance between two points is based on the Pythagorean theorem, which states that in a rectangle :

side^{2} +side^{2}=hypotenuse^{2}\\

Now, suppose we have two points P1(X1,Y1) and P2(X2,Y2), the distance between the two points will be the hypotenuse of our triangle, the difference in x will be the adjacent leg, and the difference in coordinates in y will be our opposite leg.

adjacent side =X2-X1

opposite side=Y2-Y1

hypotenuse=distance between P1 and P2

replacing

adjacent\ leg^{2} +opposite\ leg^{2}=hypotenuse^{2}\\(x_{2}-x_{1}) ^{2} +(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}=(distance between\ P1\ and\ P2)^{2}\\ distance between\ P1\ and\ P2=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1}) ^{2} +(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}} \\\\

we take only the positive root because it is a distance, a negative distance makes no sense

Step 2

find the distance between A(1,1) and B (7,-7) using the formula

Let

P1=A(1,1)

P2=B(7,-7)

put the values into the formula

d=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1}) ^{2} +(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}} \\let\\\\x_{1}=1,y_{1}=1,x_{2}=7,y_{2}=-7\\d=\sqrt{(7-1) ^{2} +(-7-(1))^{2}}\\d=\sqrt{(6) ^{2} +(-8)^{2}}\\d=\sqrt{36 +64}\\d=\sqrt{100}\\ d=10

d=10 units

Have a good day.

A company sells boxes of small blue pom-poms (b) for $42 and boxes of large orange pom-poms (p) for $52. They make batches of sm
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

b = 40 - p

42b + 52p = 350

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : No. of small blue pom-pom boxes = b

            No. of large orange pom-poms    = p

           cost of 1 box of blue pom pom = $42

           cost of one  large orange pom-pom box = $52

Solution:

Since we are given that the company has only 40 boxes

⇒b+p=40

⇒b=40-p

Since cost of 1 box of blue pom pom = $42

So, cost of b box of blue pom pom = $42b

Since,cost of one  large orange pom-pom box = $52

So,cost of p  large orange pom-pom box = $52p

We are also given that the company plan to make $350

⇒42b+52p=350

Hence Option b is correct

b = 40 - p

42b + 52p = 350

parking garage has 5 floors. If 117 cars can be parked on each floor, how many total cars can park in the garage? Drag numbers t
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

585 cars

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Floors = 5

Cars = 117 per floor

Required

Determine the total number of cars

This is calculated by multiplying number of cars per floor by number of floors.

Total = Floors*Cars

Total = 5  * 117

Total = 585

<em>Hence, there are 585 cars in total</em>

If you can tell me what the missing number is.
Orlov [11]

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

So, to start answering this, lets recall the formula for a rectangles volume:

This formula is :

V=h*w*l

Lets plug in what we know, and solve for the missing variable.

We know that height(h) is 7.

We know that width(w) is 9.

We know that volume(V) is 378.

We are missing length(l)

So:

378=7*9*l

To find length(l), we must iscolate it.

To do this, we must get rid of the 7 and 9.

So lets start by dividing 378 by 9:

378/9=7*9/9*l

=

42=7*l

Now lets do the same thing with the 7 to iscolate l:

42/7=7/7*l

=

6=l

So our missing length(l) is 6.

Answer:

l = 6

Hope this helps!
