Increased price = $10 + $10×15% = $11.50

decreased price = $11.50 - $11.5×25% = 8.625

Nadia says the hypotenuse of this right triangle has a length of 73 because the Pythagorean theorem states that (28 + 45) square

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

Third answer (she is incorrect because she should have squared each leg length and then found the sum.)

Step-by-step explanation:

The pythagorean theorem states that a²+b²=c². This is not equivalent to (a+b)²=c² (due to FOIL expansion, this expands to a²+2ab+b²=c²).

This matches with the third answer, as she has to do a² and b≥ separately.

What is the approximate distance between the points (-3,-4)(-8,1) on a coordinate grid?

Alex

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points} \\\\ (\stackrel{x_1}{-3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-4})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{-8}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{1})\qquad \qquad d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2} \\\\\\ d=\sqrt{[-8-(-3)]^2+[1-(-4)]^2}\implies d=\sqrt{(-8+3)^2+(1+4)^2} \\\\\\ d=\sqrt{25+25}\implies d=\sqrt{50}\implies d\approx 7.071$
