The distance formula is an algebraic expression used to determine the distance between two points with the coordinates (x1, y1) and (x2, y2).
<span><span>D=<span><span>(<span>x2</span>−<span>x1</span><span>)2</span>+(<span>y2</span>−<span>y1</span><span>)2</span></span><span>−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−</span>√</span></span><span>D=<span>(<span>x2</span>−<span>x1</span><span>)2</span>+(<span>y2</span>−<span>y1</span><span>)2</span></span></span></span>
Example
Find the distance between (-1, 1) and (3, 4).
This problem is solved simply by plugging our x- and y-values into the distance formula:
<span><span>D=<span><span>(3−(−1)<span>)2</span>+(4−1<span>)2</span></span><span>−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−</span>√</span>=</span><span>D=<span>(3−(−1)<span>)2</span>+(4−1<span>)2</span></span>=</span></span>
<span><span>=<span><span>16+9</span><span>−−−−−</span>√</span>=<span>25<span>−−</span>√</span>=5</span><span>=<span>16+9</span>=25=5</span></span>
Sometimes you need to find the point that is exactly between two other points. This middle point is called the "midpoint". By definition, a midpoint of a line segment is the point on that line segment that divides the segment in two congruent segments.
If the end points of a line segment is (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) then the midpoint of the line segment has the coordinates:
<span><span>(<span><span><span>x1</span>+<span>x2</span></span>2</span>,<span><span><span>y1</span>+<span>y2</span></span>2</span>)</span><span><span>(<span><span><span>x1</span>+<span>x2</span></span>2</span>,<span><span><span>y1</span>+<span>y2</span></span>2</span>)</span><span>
</span></span></span>
Answer:
14 knots
Step-by-step explanation:
We know the speed (55 knots) is 6 more than 3.5 times the winner of the monohull in the 2007 tournament.
So let's set the variable for the speed of the monohull to <em>m</em>. Now, let's set up an equation:
We can solve this by first subtracting 6 from both sides to get:
Dividing both sides by 3.5 we get:
That means that the top speed of the monohull in the 2007 tournament was 14 knots
3 - (7a + 1) =
3 - 7a - 1 =
-7a + 2 <===
Answer: 90 visitors per hour
Explanation: "Per hour" means in 1 hour, so we can rewrite the given statement using fractions as <em>450 visitors/5 hours = __visitors/1 hour</em>.
To find out what goes in the bank, notice that we
have a 1 in the denominator of our second fraction.
So we want to find a fraction that is equivalent
to 450/5 that has a 1 in the denominator.
If we divide the numerator and denominator of 450/5 by 5,
we get the equivalent fraction 90/1 or <em>90 visitors/1 hour</em>.
So now we have <em>90 visitors/1 hour = __visitors/1 hour</em>.
So a 90 must go in the blank.
This means that the museum sees 90 visitors per hour.
Answer: 79%
That’s because it’s the middle probability it can’t be others because they are too high it too low
