Find the distance between (-5,2) and (-5,6)​

Mathematics
1 answer:
o-na [289]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance between two points is given as

Let point 1 be (x1,y1)

Point 2 be (x2,y2)

So the distance between them is given as

d=√(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²

So, applying this to the given question

P1=(-5,2)

P2=(-5,6)

Therefore x1=-5 and y1=2

Also x2=-5 and y2=6

Then,

d=√(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²

d=√(-5--5)²+(6-2)²

Note -×-=+

d=√(-5+5)²+(4)²

d=√(0)²+16

d=√0+16

d=√16

Then, d= +4units or -4units

But distance cannot be negative.

So the distance between the two given point is 4units

d=4units

1/5.
If 4 pieces of gum are each divided into 5 parts, that will mean there will be 20 smaller parts (5*4=20).
Each person will get one part of each piece of gum. If there are 4 pieces of gum originally, this means each person gets 4 small pieces of gum
If each person gets 4 small pieces of gum and there are 20 small pieces altogether, that makes the fraction 4/20
Since 4 and 20 are both divisible by 4, that makes the simplified answer 1/5.

A politician's support grew from 42% by 3 percentage points to 45%. What percent (relative) change is this? Round your answer to
gregori [183]

Answer:

7.1%

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for percentage relative change =

[Final value - Initial value/Initial value] × 100

From the above question

Initial value = 42 %

Final value = 45%

= 45 - 42/ 42 × 100

= 3/42 × 100

= 7.1428571429 %

Therefore, approximately to the nearest tenth, the percentage relative change = 7.1%

Madeline is standing 2x−4 feet from the base of a tree. The height of the tree is 5x+6 feet. Find the equation that shows the st
klemol [59]

Answer:

Required equation is \sqrt{(2x-4)^2+(5x+6)^2}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Height of the tree=5x+6

Distance from feet of the tree=2x-4

To find straight distance from feet of Madeline to top of the tree.

Let the tree as y-axis and distance from base along x-axis. Then the  distence of straight line from foot of Madeline to top is become the hypotenuse of the triangle. Thus if we let,

Distance from feet of Madeline to top of tree= p, then, according to law of finding third side of a triangle we get,

p^2=(\textit{distance from base})^2+(\textit{height of tree})^2

\therefore p=\sqrt{(2x-4)^2+(5x+6)^2}

Hence the result.
