Answer:

C. 16

Step-by-step explanation:

basically the order of operations states you deal with parentheses first then indices then either division/multiplication and then addition/subtraction

So when you deal with 3- 1=2

the only operation left is multiplication(something in parenthesis stuck on another mathematical term without any other operation attached to it signals multiplication and it is commutative so it can be done in any pair. so u have 4×2×2=16

In order to get this answer you will have to use PEMDAS and solve the expression step by step.

$4(3-1)2$

Using PEMDAS:

$3-1=2$

$4\times2\times2$

$2\times4=8$

$8\times2$

$8\times2=16$

$=16$

Therefore your answer is option C "16."

Hope this helps.

Suppose triangle ABC has vertices at A(1, 0), B(10, 0), and C(2, 6). After a 60° counterclockwise rotation about the origin, ver

Check the picture attached.

Let OB be the radius of circle with center O.

Let B' be the image of B after the described rotation

OB and OB' are sides of the equilateral triangle OBB'.

The x coordinate of B' is the midpoint of OB, that is 5.

In the right triangle B', point (5, 0) and B:

Distance point (5, 0) to B is 5
|B'B|=|OB|=10

so by the pythagorean theorem:

$a= \sqrt{ 10^{2} - 5^{2} } = \sqrt{ 2^{2} *5^{2} - 5^{2} }= \sqrt{5^{2}(4-1)}=5 \sqrt{3}$ units

Answer: $5 \sqrt{3}$
