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.

If Morgan and Kira have a number of jelly beans in a ratio of 5 : 3. Kira and Mann have a

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Kira has 3/8 of the total of Jelly Beans available. Morgan has the other 5/8

So if there are 56 Jelly beans in total 3/8 * 56 = 21 which would be Kira's share.

Morgan would have 5/8 * 58 = 35 Jelly beans (Not that this is really relevant).

Now Kira and Mann have a ratio of 6:1 which means that she has 6/7 of the total between those two. He therefore must have 1/7 of the total.

Her total is 21.

1/7 of 21 = 3

Therefore Mann would have 3 jelly beans.
