Answer: 3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The blueprints for a police station show that one of the lamp posts has a motion detector on it, and that the equation describes the boundary within which motion can be sensed. :

(x+14)^2+(y-6)^2=9 → which is a equation of a CIRCLE.

When we compare it to the standard form of equation of circle i.e. (x-(-14))^2+(y-6)^2=3^2 , we get the radius of the circle = 3

Consider the lamp post as the center of the area covered by the detector.

Then the greatest distance a person could be from the lamp and be detected = Radius of the circular area

=3 feet.

Answer:

y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Put x as -19 and solve for y.

2(-19) - 5y = -28

Multiply.

-38 - 5y = -28

Add 38 on both sides of the equation.

-5y = -28 + 38

-5y = 10

Divide both sides by -5.

y = 10/-5

y = -2

James states that quadrilateral
mr_godi [17]

Using the distance formula,

AD=\sqrt{(-1-3)^{2}+(-3-(-4))^{2}}=\sqrt{17}\\\\BC=\sqrt{(5-9)^{2}+(1-0)^{2}}=\sqrt{17} \\\\\therefore \overline{AD} \cong \overline{BC}

AB=\sqrt{(-1-5)^{2}+(-3-1)^{2}}=\sqrt{52}=2\sqrt{13}\\\\CD=\sqrt{(9-3)^{2}+(0-(-4))^{2}}=\sqrt{52}=2\sqrt{13}\\\\\therefore \overline{AB} \cong \overline{CD}

Since ABCD has two pairs of opposite congruent sides, it is a parallelogram.
