Check the picture below.

\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points}
\\\\
\begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\
%  (a,b)
&&(~ 1 &,& 4~) 
%  (c,d)
&&(~ 6 &,& 1~)
\end{array}~~~ 
%  distance value
d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2}
\\\\\\
d=\sqrt{(6-1)^2+(1-4)^2}\implies d=\sqrt{5^2+(-3)^2}
\\\\\\
d=\sqrt{25+9}\implies d=\sqrt{34}

Help please Draw an obtuse angle (labeled BIG) Place a point P inside the angle. Now construct perpendiculars form the point to
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

The side closest to P is the side that is on the same side of the angle bisector as P.

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle bisector is the line containing all the points equidistant from the sides of the angle. Points on one side of the angle bisector are closer to the angle side that is on that side of the angle bisector.

___

The attached diagram shows the angle bisector as a dashed line. A couple of different locations for P are shown (P1 and P2). Apparently, we're concerned here with the distance from P along the perpendicular to each side of the angle. For P2 (on the left side of the angle bisector), it may be clear that the left perpendicular is shorter than the right one. Likewise, for P1, the right perpendicular will be shorter.

Solve for x, −2 (4x+4) −3x − 2 = 34 help needed, thanks!
Arada [10]

Hey there!

The answer to your question is -2 \frac{3}{11}

-2(4x+4) - 3x -2= 34       Write the equation

-8x - 8 - 3x - 2 = 34           Distribute -2

-11x-10 = 34                      Combine like terms

-11x = 24                              Add 10 to both sides

-2 \frac{3}{11}                                         Divide both sides by -11

Hope it helps and have a great day!

Write an equivalent expression to
mel-nik [20]
1. Distributive Property. 
<span>4(3a + 7) + 3(2a + 5)
12a + 28 + 6a + 20

2. Combine like terms
12a + 28 + 6a + 20
18a +48


The equivalent expression is 18a + 48. If a = anything then the expressions will still be equivalent.
