Answer:  The required distance between the points between A(1, 1) and B(7, −7) is 10 units.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to explain the distance formula. Also, to calculate the distance between A(1, 1) and B(7, −7).

<em><u>Distance formula :</u></em>  The distance between any two two points with co-ordinates (a, b) and (c, d) is given by

D=\sqrt{(c-a)^2+(d-b)^2}.

Therefore, the distance between the points A(1, 1) and B(7, −7) is given by

D\\\\=\sqrt{(7-1)^2+(-7-1)^2}\\\\=\sqrt{36+64}\\\\=\sqrt{100}\\\\=10.

Thus, the required distance between the points between A(1, 1) and B(7, −7) is 10 units.

Answer:

dAB=10\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The <u>distance formula</u> is derived by creating a triangle and using the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse. The hypotenuse of the triangle is the distance between the two points

The formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}

we have

A(1, 1) and B(7, −7)

Let

(x1,y1)=A(1, 1)

(x2,y2)=B(7, −7)

substitute the given values in the formula

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

dAB=\sqrt{(-8)^{2}+(6)^{2}}

dAB=\sqrt{64+36}

dAB=\sqrt{100}

dAB=10\ units

The sum of two numbers is 150 and the ratio of the same two numbers is 3 to 2 . find the bigger number
krek1111 [17]
Ratio- 3: 2

3x + 2x = 150
5x = 150
x = 30

3x is the larger number so plug in the x value with 30.

3x
3 x 30
90

The larger number is 90.

Hope I helped.. ^^

Perpendicular means the slopes are opposite inverse of each other
If line a is slope 2, the perpendicular line to Line a would have a slope - 1/2
Difference in y over difference in x gives slope. If they are opposite inverse values the lines are perpendicular. ( in this case the answer is true.)

A bus travels from Station A to Station B, and a truck travels from Station B to Station A on the same road. The speed of the bu
prisoha [69]

Answer:

The distance between the two train stations is 1728 km

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed of the bus = 54 km/h

The speed of the truck = 48 km/h

When the bus and truck meet again, the distance covered by the bus = 216 km more than he distance traveled by the truck

Let the distance between the two train stations = x

Let the location where they first meet be y from station A we have;

The location where they meet again = y - 216 km

Therefore, we have;

Location where they

The time for the truck and the bus to meet again = t

Therefore, 54 × t - 48 × t = 216 km

6·t = 216 km

t = 36 hours

Therefore, the time for the bus to travel x + 216 km = 36 hours

54 × 36 = 1944 = x + 216

x = 1944 - 216 = 1728 km

The distance between the two train stations = 1728 km.
