A polygon has the following coordinates: A(3,1), B(5,3), C(2,5), D(-1,5), E(-4,3), F(-2,1). Find the length of DC.

To find the length of a line given two points, we are going to use the distance formula, which is defined below:

(
and
are the two points)
The points in this problem are (2, 5) and (-1, 5). We can find the distance of DC by substituting these values into the distance formula and simplifying, as shown below:

- Substitute values into formula

- Combine like terms and then simplify
to 0

- Compute


- Compute

The length of DC is 3.
Answer:
The answer is (0,1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
D Line segments are the same and do not intersect
Step-by-step explanation:
They are parallell lines and are the same length
The answer is A because both numbers can be divided by 6 to get 5 : 9
Usually, we use the number line to solve inequalities with the symbols,
<
,
≤
,
>
, and
≥
.(the second and last one was rather hard to find on my keyboard) In order to solve an inequality using the number line, though, just turn
the inequality sign to an equal sign. Then, solve the equation. Next step,
graph the point on the number line (remember to graph as an open circle if the
original inequality was <, or >). The number line should now be
divided into 2 regions, one to the left of the graphed point, and one to the
right of said point.
After that, pick a point in both regions and "test" it, check to see if it satisfies
the inequality when plugged in for the variable. If it does, draw a darker line from the point into that region, with an
arrow at the end. That is the solution to the equation: if one
point in the region satisfies the inequality, the entire region will
satisfy the inequality.
I had to check back in an old textbook to remember all of that. Sorry about the earlier answer. That was rather foolish to do so without actually understanding the question.
