For this case we have the following conversions:

1 yard = 3 feet

The estimate distance Is:

400yd = 1200feet

200yd=600 feet

Ten, the estimate Is:

1200 + 600 = 1800 feet

The real distance Is:

The total distance in yards is given by:

440 + 220 = 660 yd

Then, let's transform this distance to feet, with the given conversion:

660 * 3 = 1980 feet

The distance traveled is reasonable for a person

Comparing the estimate and the actual answer, the distance malcom Ran Is reasonable.

Answer:

Malcolm ran 1980 feet.

The distance is reasonable.

440 x 3 = 1320

220 x 3 = 660

1320 + 660 = 1980, which is your answer.



440 is close to 400, so 400 x 3 = 1200

220 is close to 200, so 200 x 3 = 600

1200 + 600 = 1800



This is a reasonable estimate.

Determine the standard form of the equation of the line that passes through ( -5,0 ) ( 0 ,-9)
insens350 [35]

The general form for a line through two points (a,b) and (c,d) is

(c-a)(y-b)=(d-b)(x-a)

This is better than the slope forms because it works in the no slope case, as does the standard form.

If you haven't seen it before, it works because when (x,y)=(a,b) we get (c-a)(b-b)=(d-b)(a-a), both sides zero, and when (x,y)=(c,d) we get (c-a)(d-b)=(d-b)(c-a), clearly equal sides.

Here we have

(0 - -5)(y - 0) = (-9 - 0)(x - - 5)

5y = -9(x+5)

5y = -9x - 45

9x + 5y = -45

Ironically there are two standards for standard form; one with the constant alone on the right and one with the whole thing equal to zero.  I like the constant alone.

Answer: 9x + 5y = -45

Check:

We check each point is on the line

(-5,0)

9(-5) + 5(0) = -45, good

(0, -9)

9(0) + 5(-9) = -45, good again

PLS HELP!<br> solve by completing the square<br> x²+4x=8
masya89 [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

x²+4x=8

rearrange

x² + 4x - 8 = 0

half of 4 is 2

so

x² + 4x + 2² - 2² - 8 = 0

do x² + 4x + 2²

multiplies to give 4 adds to give 4

2+ 2

(x + 2)²

(x + 2)² - 2² - 8

(x + 2)² - 4 - 8

(x + 2)² - 12

(x + 2 + √12) (x + 2 - √12)

√12 = √4 * √3 = 2 √3

(x + 2 + 2√3) (x + 2 - 2√3)

How many faces does the solid made from the net below have? A. 7B. 8C. 12D. 18
Kruka [31]

Answer:

B. 8

Explanation:

The figure forms a septagon.

The hexagons form the base, and the rectangles attached to them form the sides.

Therefore, in total the solid has two hexagons as sides and 6 rectangles connecting the hexagon to the base hexagon. Hence, in total the solid has

2 + 6 = 8 faces.
