Find the distance between the points given. (-3, -6) and (3, 2)

Answer:

10 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Moving from (-3, -6) to (3, 2), x increases by 6. Draw a triangle and use this 6 as the length of the base. y increases by 8. Label the height of the triangle with this 8. Then find the hypotenuse (which is also the desired distance) by using the Pythagorean Theorem:

6^2 + 8^2 = d^2, where d is that distance:

36 + 64 = 100 = d^2, and so d = 10. The distance in question is 10 units.

15 POINTS!!!!!!! PLEASE HELP!! <br> Find the value of a. <br> A) 3 <br> B) 4 <br> C) 6 <br> D) 9

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The legs and hypotnuse of a triangle can easily be solved by using

$A^{2} +B^{2} =C^{2}$

with this in mind we can plug in the legs and hypotenuse of the triangle to solve for the missing leg, A.

$A^{2} =C^{2} -B^{2} \\A = \sqrt{(5^{2} )-(4^{2}) } \\A=\sqrt{9} \\A=3$

Hope this helps,

H.M.
