Put in terms of a
b=2a
a=a
c=a-15000
2a+a+a-15000=109000
2a+a+a=124000
4a=124000
a=31000
Candidate B received 62000 votes

Find the distance between points P(3, 4) and Q(4, -6) If necessary round to the nearest hundredth.

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

10.05 units

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the distance between these points using the distance formula. The distance formula is:

$\sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$

We know that x1 is 3, x2 is 4, y1 is 4, and y2 is -6, so we can substitute inside the equation.

$\sqrt{(4 - 3)^2 + (-6 - 4)^2} \\\\\sqrt{1^2 + -10^2} \\\\\sqrt{1 + 100} \\\\\sqrt{101} \\\\\approx10.05$

Hope this helped!
