Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:The distance between points is given by the following equation:

 d = root ((x2-x1) ^ 2 + (y2-y1) ^ 2)

 Substituting we have:

 15 = root ((- 9 -3) ^ 2 + (a-2) ^ 2)

 We clear the value of a:

 (15) ^ 2 = (root ((- 12) ^ 2 + (a-2) ^ 2)) ^ 2

 225 = (- 12) ^ 2 + (a-2) ^ 2)

 Rewriting:

 225 = 144 + (a-2) ^ 2

 225-144 = (a-2) ^ 2

 81 = (a-2) ^ 2

 a-2 = +/- root (81)

 a = +/- 9 + 2

 The possible values are:

 a1 = 9 + 2 = 11

 a2 = -9 + 2 = -7

 Then, the possible coordinates of point a are:

 (-11, 11)

 (-11, -7)

 Answer:

 the possible coordinates of point a are:

 (-11, 11)

 (-11, -7)

Answer:

(-9,9) or (-9,-7) are the possible coordinates

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the formula for the distance between two points to get this

Mathematically, this can be;

d = √(x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2

Now let our point A be (x1,y1) = (-9,n)

let’s say y1 is n for now

For point B, we have (x2,y2) = (3,2)

and our d is 15 units

Inputing the values, we have

15^2 = (3+9)^2 + (2-n)^2

225 = 144 + (2-n)^2

225-144 = (2-n)^2

(2-n)^2 = 81

(2-n) = √(81)

2-n = -9

or 2-n = 9

n = 11 or n = -7

Now the possible coordinate values of point A are;

(-9,9) or (-9,-7)

A scientist measured the amounts of fertilizer given to plants, the heights to which the plants grew, and the amount of fruit th
pentagon [3]

Answer:

d. Since fertilizer is in both data sets and is positively correlated to both tree height and fruit yield, it is like that tree height and fruit yield are also positively correlated.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correlation refers to the relationship between two or more variables i.e how they are interrelated to each other. It can be positive, negative, perfect, etc

As we can see in the figure that in both the data sets the fertilizer contains the same values which depict that they are positively correlated with respect to the height of tree and fruit yield that derives that the height of tree and fruit yield is also positively correleated

Here positive correlation means that the two variables moving in a similar direction i.e if one variable increased so the other is also increased

Therefore the option d is correct

Line XY bisects and is perpendicular to AB and CD. CD = 10 and XY = 24. What is the length of AP?
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

<u>AP = 13</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attached figure.

CD = 10 and XY = 24

Line XY bisects and is perpendicular to AB and CD

∴ XY bisects at Y

∴ CY = 0.5 CD = 0.5 * 10 = 5

And from the geometry of the shape

P is the midpoint of XY

∴ XP = YP = 0.5 XY = 0.5 * 24 = 12

XY is perpendicular to CD

∴ ΔPYC is a right triangle at Y

∴ PC (hypotenuse) = \sqrt{PY^2+YC^2} =\sqrt{12^2+5^2}=\sqrt{144+25} =\sqrt{169} =13

From the figure AP = PC = 13
