Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let J = Jerry's age
Let M = Mary's age = 2J
M - 16 = J + 16
Substitute 2J for Mary's age
2J - 16 = J + 16
2J - J - 16 = 16
J = 16 + 16
J = 32
Jerry is 32.
Mary is twice as old as Jerry.
Mary is 2(32) = 64
Length (2, 6) to (-4, 6) is sqrt((x2 - x1))^2 + (y2 - y1)^2) = sqrt((-4 -2)^2 + (6 - 6)^2) = sqrt((-6)^2 + 0) = 6
Length (2, 6) to (-4, 4) is sqrt((-4 - 2)^2 + (4 - 6)^2) = sqrt((-6)^2 + (-2)^2) = sqrt(36 + 4) = sqrt(40) = 2sqrt(10) units
Length (-4, 6) to (-4, 4) is sqrt((-4 - (-4))^2 + (4 - 6)^2) = sqrt(0^2 + (-2)^2) = 2
So the length of the longest side is 2sqrt(10) units
My teacher taught me to make an imaginary decimal and 0 at the beginning of the number and then move the decimal to the end of the number... idk that may be the wrong way to do it but you can try :/
