The answer using Pythagorean theorem

Mathematics
1 answer:
OverLord2011 [107]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: 12.32 is the answer.


Step-by-step explanation: Using the pythagorean thereom we can solve this by using the formula A^2+B^2=C^2.

We substitute in the values,

17^2+B^2=21^2.

Now we simplify.

289+B^2=441

We subtract the 289 from both sides,

B^2=152                                                                                                                                                            

Now we use square root to find the answer.

12.32 is the answer.

Hope this helps!

Find the distance between the points A(13,2) and B(7,10)
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

10 = D

Step-by-step explanation:

Method #1

We can draw a <em>right triangle</em> on the graph upon where the points are located and use the Pythagorean Theorem:

{a}^{2} + {b}^{2} = {c}^{2}

{6}^{2} + {8}^{2} = {c}^{2}

36 + 64 = {c}^{2}

100 = {c}^{2}

10 = c

* Whenever we talk about distance, we ONLY want the NON-NEGATIVE root.

_______________________________________________

Method #2

Or, we can use the Distance Formula:

\sqrt{[-x_1 + x_2]^{2} + [-y_1 + y_2]^{2}} = D

<em>B</em>[7, 10] <em>A</em>[13, 2]

\sqrt{[-2 + 10]^{2} + [-13 + 7]^{2}} = D

\sqrt{8^{2} + [-6]^{2}} = D

\sqrt{64 + 36} = D

\sqrt{100} = D

10 = D

* Whenever we talk about distance, we ONLY want the NON-NEGATIVE root.

** You see? It does not matter which method you choose, as long as you are doing the work correctly.

I am delighted to assist you anytime.

Step-by-step explanation: It was succeeded by a breathless pause, as Mrs. Cratchit, looking slowly all along the carving knife, prepared to plunge it into the breast; but when she did, and when the long expected gush of stuffing issued forth, one murmur of delight arose all round the board, and even Tiny Tim, excited by the two young Cratchits, beat on the table with

PLEASE ANSWER ASAP: Danielle's wallet had $2.65 in change:all quarters,dimes and nickels. She had 3 times as many quarters as di
Butoxors [25]
We can write an equation in terms of n, the amount of nickels:

25(3n+3)+10(n+1)+5n=265.

Thus:

90n+85=265

Subtracting 85, we have:

90n=180

Therefore, n=2.  As such, Danielle has 2 nickels, 3 dimes, and 9 quarters.
