Two horses are ready to return to their barn after a long workout session at the track. the horses are at coordinates H(1,10) an

d Z(10,1). Their barns are located in the same building, which is at coordinates B(-3,-9). Each unit/grid on the coordinate plane represents 100 meters. Which horse is closer to the barn? Justify your answer?

The given information are the coordinates of points H, Z and B. So, the first step to do is to plot these points on a Cartesian plane as shown in the attached picture. We can deduce visually that horse Z is closer to the barns than horse H. But, to further justify the answer, we have to provide the magnitude of the distance of horses H and Z to barn B. In this approach, we use the distance formula:

d = √(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²

Use the coordinates of the two points to know their linear distances. These are represented by the red and green lines for each of the horses.

Distance between H and B = √(⁻3 - 1)² + (⁻9-10)²
Distance between H and B = √(⁻3 - 1)² + (⁻9-10)²
Distance between H and B  = 19.4165

Since the scale is 1 unit = 100 meters, the actual distance between horse H and barn B is 19.416*100 = 1,941.65 meters


Distance between Z and B = √(⁻3 - 10)² + (⁻9-1)²
Distance between Z and B = √(⁻3 - 10)² + (⁻9-1)²
Distance between Z and B  = 16.4012

Since the scale is 1 unit = 100 meters, the actual distance between horse Z and barn B is 16.4012*100 = 1,640.12 meters

Comparing the distances: 1,941.65 meters > 1,640.12 meters. Therefore, it justifies that horse Z is nearer to the barn.

The theoretical probability of spinning an even number on a spinner is 23. The spinner has 8 even-numbered sections. How many se
Gelneren [198K]
There are 35 different sections on the spinner.

To solve this, we can write a proportion. We put 8 over the number of sections and set it equal to 23 over 100 for 23%.

8 / x = 23 / 100

Cross multiply and divide and you will get an answer of about 35.
