Answer:

  5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The two legs of Deborah's hike form the right-angle legs of a right triangle. The shortest distance is then the hypotenuse of that triangle, found using the Pythagorean theorem.

  d^2 = 3^2 + 4^2 = 9 +16 = 25

  d = √25 = 5

Deborah ends 5 miles from her start.

(50 points) A diameter of a circle has endpoints P(-10, -2) and Q(4,6)
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The center of the circle is the midpoint of the two end points of the diameter.

Formula

Center = (x2 + x1)/2 , (y2 + y1)/2

Givens

x2 = 4

x1 = - 10

y2 = 6

y1 = - 2

Solution

Center = (4 - 10)/2, (6 - 2)/2

Center = -6/2 , 4/2

Center = - 3 , 2

So far what you have is

(x+3)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = r^2

Now you have to find the radius.

You can use either of the endpoints to find the radius.

find the distance from (4,6) to (-3,2)

r^2 = ( (x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2 )

x2 = 4

x1 = -3

y2 = 6

y1 = 2

r^2 = ( (4 - -3)^2 + (6 - 2)^2 )

r^2 = ( (7)^2 + 4^2)

r^2 = ( 49 + 16)

r^2 = 65

Ultimate formula is

(x+3)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 65

The radius is √65 = 8.06
