Answer:

The answer is

<h2>2√74 or 17.20 units</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of w line segment between two points can be found by using the formula

d =  \sqrt{ ({x1 - x2})^{2} +  ({y1 - y2})^{2}  }  \\

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

S(-8, 7) and T (6,-3)

The length of ST is

|ST|  =  \sqrt{ ({ - 8 - 6})^{2} +  ({7 + 3})^{2}  }  \\  =  \sqrt{ ({ - 14})^{2} +  {10}^{2}  }  \\  =  \sqrt{196 + 10}  \\  =  \sqrt{296}  \\  = 2 \sqrt{74}  \\  = 17.2046505...

We have the final answer as

<h3>2√74 or 17.20 units</h3>

Hope this helps you

A triangle has one 90-degree angle and one 38.7 - degree angle. What is the measure of the third angle?
tigry1 [53]
The answer is 51.3 degrees because you add 90+38.7=128.7
then you do 180-128.7 because this is a linear/ supplementary triangle which adds up to 180
and you get 51.3 degrees

Calculate the distance between each given pair of points. Round your answer to the nearest tenth, if necessary.
Ksju [112]
The answer is 5 

Here are the steps:

First off, we will be using the distance formula of 
d=\sqrt{(x_ {2}- x_{2}) ^{2}+( y_{2}- y_{1})^2     }

So we have the ordered pairs of (3,1) and (6,5)

Once you plug them into the formula it should look like this: 
d= \sqrt{(6-3)^2+(5-1)^2}

Now we do the math inside the parenthesis and end up with:
d=\sqrt{3^2+4^2}

Then you multiply by the power and simplify to get:
d=\sqrt{25}

And the \sqrt{25}=5

So your answer is 5
