8 0

Step-by-step explanation:

A tenth is 0.1

To round of to the nearest tenth means to round it of to 1 decimal place.

Now, look at the number after the tenth place with is 0.03 or simply 3.

If the digit is 0-4, you round the whole number down.

Hence, 15.839 is 15.8 to the nearest tenth digit.

If the tenth digit is 5-9 such as 15.85 or 15.87, you round the number up, to give 15.9

The points (–2, 4) and (–2, –2) are vertices of a heptagon. Explain how to find the length of the segment formed by these endpoi
Scrat [10]

Answer:

The segment is 6 units long.

Step-by-step explanation:

The points (–2, 4) and (–2, –2) are vertices of a heptagon. We have to explain how to find the length of the segment formed by these endpoints.

If two points at the ends of a straight line PQ are P(x_{1},y_{1}) and Q(x_{2},y_{2}), then the length of the segment PQ will be given by the formula  

\sqrt{(x_{1} - x_{2})^{2} + (y_{1} - y_{2})^{2}}

Now, in our case the two points are (-2,4) and (-2,-2) and the length of the segment will be  

\sqrt{(- 2 - (- 2))^{2} + (4 - (- 2))^{2}} = 6 units. (Answer)
