Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Notice that A, B, and C constitute the vertices of a right angle triangle, with the right angle at the vertex A.
If we count the number of squares separating B and A (one of the legs of the right angle triangle) we find 8 units.
If we count the number of squares separating C from A (the other leg of the right angle triangle), we get: 3 units.
Then, we apply the Pythagorean theorem to find that length of the triangle's hypotenuse which is the segment BC:
The correct answer is 2 1/7
Answer:
Equation: 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 = 5/6
Step-by-step explanation:
Unit means 1
Therefore a each 1/6 is the multiple unit of 5/6 because if we had all the 1/6 together, you get 5/6. There is 1 over 6 which you can tell that it is a unit fraction.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
8x+5y = 20
y = (-8/5)x + 4
slope of the line is -8/5.
slope of any perpendicular to the line is ⅝.
line of slope ⅝ that passes through P(4,5):
y-5 = ⅝(x-4)
y = ⅝x + 2.5
find intersection of lines
⅝x + 2.5 = (-8/5)x + 4
25x + 100 = -64x + 160
89x = 60
x = 60/89, y = 260/89
distance between (60/89, 260/89) and (4,5) = 3.92
