Answer:

sqrt(2) ≈1.414213562

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance is found by the formula

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

= sqrt( (-1/8 - 7/8)^2 + (7/8 --1/8)^2)

sqrt( (-8/8)^2 + (7/8 +1/8)^2)

sqrt( (-1)^2 + (1)^2)

sqrt ( 1 +1)

sqrt(2)

My question is <br> 2+2/4*10

alexandr1967 [171]

2+2=4 so now its 4/4*10. 4*10 is 40 so now its 4/40. Dividing both sides by 4 will get you the simplest form 1/10

Answer:

14.3 feet.

14.3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem forms a right triangle in which:

The Vertical Leg of the Right Triangle = 3 feet

The Horizontal Leg of the Right Triangle =14 feet

We are to determine the length of the broken part of the tree. This is the Hypotenuse of the Right Triangle,

Using Pythagoras Theorem

$Hypotenuse^2=Opposite^2+Adjacent^2\\Hypotenuse^2=14^2+3^2\\Hypotenuse^2=205\\Hypotenuse=\sqrt{205}\\Hypotenuse=14.32\\ \approx 14.3 feet $(to the nearest tenth of a foot).\\Therefore, the lenght of the broken part of the tree to the nearest tenth of a foot is 14.3 feet.$
