Find the distance between (1, 4) and (3, 9). Round the answer to the nearest hundredth.

1 answer:

6 0

To calculate the distance between these two points, we use the Pythagorean theorem since the two points can form a right triangle when plotted where the hypotenuse would be the distance between these two. We do as follows:

d = √[(x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2]
d = √[(3-1)^2 + (9-4)^2]
d = √29 = 5.39 units

The correct answer is A.

In a class of P students, the average of test scores is 70. In another class the average test scores is 92. When scores of the t

Basile [38]

So, since averages are defined as:

$\frac{\sum_{k=1}^{P} P_k}{P}=70$

So, since P are the total number of elements and P_k is the P_kth student. This is saying if we sum over each student's score and divide it by the number of students, we should get P, which is true.

So, using that logic, the other class can be represented as:

$\frac{\sum_{k=1}^{N} N_k}{N}=70$
