Answer:

1 & 1/8 cup of flour

Step-by-step explanation:

A = half of 2 = (1/2)*2 = 1

B = half of 1/4 = (1/2)*(1/4) = (1*1)/(2*4) = 1/8

C = half of (2 & 1/4)

C = (half of 2) + (half of 1/4)

C = A+B

C = 1 + 1/8

C = 1 & 1/8 cups

----

An alternative is to first convert the mixed number 2 & 1/4 to an improper fraction using the formula below

a & b/c = (a*c + b)/c

2 & 1/4 = (2*4+1)/4

2 & 1/4 = 9/4

Then multiply this by 1/2

(9/4)*(1/2) = 9/8

And convert back to a mixed number

9/8 = (8+1)/8

9/8 = 8/8 + 1/8

9/8 = 1 + 1/8

9/8 = 1 & 1/8

we get the same answer either way

Answer:

4.5 or 1 1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

2 1/4 is a full box to back 1/2 of the flour you need to divide 2 1/4 in half

Half of 2 is 1 & half of 1/4 is 1/8

Explain how the distance formula can prove Pythagoras' Theorem. In your
Paul [167]

Answer:

Given a triangle ABC, Pythagoras' Theorem shows that:

c^2=a^2+b^2

Thus,

c = \sqrt{a^2+b^2}

The distance formula, gives an equivalent expression based on two points at the end of the hypotenuse for a triangle.

d^2 = (x_{2} -x_{1})^2 + (y_{2} -y_{1})^2

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

Therefore when given the hypotenuse with endpoints at

(x_{1}, y_{1})  and {(x_{2}, y_{2})

We know that the third point of the right triangle will be at

(x_{2}, y_{1})

and that the two side lengths will be defined by the absolute values of:

(x_{2} - x_{1}) = a

(y_{2} - y_{1}) = b
