Explain how to use absolute value to find the distance between (-2,-2) and (-2,5)

1 answer:

6 0

The absolute value of a number is its distance away from zero. Depending on how far away a number is, it has a less or greater absolute value. (-2,-2) have the same absolute value while (-2,5) have a different absolute value. Which has a greater absolute value? -25 or 6? The answer: -25, it is farther away from zero.

In the diagram, the radius of the outer circle is

JulijaS [17]

the value of x is 8 cm.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Correct Question : In the diagram, the radius of the outer circle is 2x cm and the radius of the inside circle is 6 cm. The area of the shaded region is 220π cm2. What is the value of x? Enter your answer in the box.

We have ,

the area of a circle = πr²

the outer circle area = $\pi(2x)^2 =4\pi x^2$

the inside circle area = $\pi (6)^2= 36\pi$

According to Question,

the outer circle area - the inside circle area = he shaded region

⇒ $\pi (4x^2)-36\pi =220\pi$

⇒ $x^2-9 =55$

⇒ $x^2=64$

⇒ $x =\sqrt{64}=8$

Therefore , the value of x is 8 cm.

I need help on #4 ASAP!!!!

kodGreya [7K]

Hi there.

A triangle's interior angles must always add up to 180 degrees. Since we already have one measurement, 56, we can set up an equation to solve for the missing angles.

(2x + 4) + 56 + x= 180; solve for x.
Subtract 56 from both sides.
(2x + 4) + x = 124;
Combine like-terms (x).
3x + 4 = 124;
Subtract 4 from both sides.
3x = 120
Divide both sides by 3 to solve for x.
x = 40.

Now, we need to substitute x with 40 in each of our angles to determine their measurements.
2x + 4; x = 40.
2(40) + 4 = 80 + 4 = 84;
One measurement is 84 degrees.

x = 40 is another measurement on its own.

Our measurements are:
56, 84, and 40.

Your corresponding answer choice is H.) 56, 84, 40.

I hope this helps!

seven different gifts are to be distributed among 10 children. How many distinct results are possible if no child is to receive

Alik [6]

Answer:

120 distinct results are possible if no child is to receive more than one gifts.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the order is not important, we use the combination formula:

$C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

The order is said to be not important if for example, John receiving the Buffalo Bills jersey and then Laura receiving the Cleveland Browns jersey is the same as Laura receiving the Cleveland Browns jersey before John receives the Buffalo Bills jersey.

In this problem, we have that:

Combinations of 7 from a set of 10 elements. So

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

$C_{10,7} = \frac{10!}{7!(3)!} = 120$

120 distinct results are possible if no child is to receive more than one gifts.

Line passes through point (1, 7) and point (-2, 4). What is the slope of this line?

Drupady [299]

The slope of the line is 1.

The slope of the line is 1 because the line moves ror goes up from left to right, making it a positive. The line also moves one block over and one block up.
