To the nearest tenth, what is the y-coordinate for point A? 4.5 4.6 4.7 4.8
2 answers:
the complete question is
<span>Point A has an x coordinate of −2 and lies in a circle with a center at (0, 0) and a radius of 5.
To the nearest tenth, what is the y-coordinate for point A?
A: 4.5
B: 4.6
C: 4.7
D: 4.8
see the attached figure
we know that
the equation of the circle is
(x-h)</span>²+(y-k)²=r²
(h,k) is the center---------> (h,k) is the point (0,0)
r=5 units
so
(x-h)²+(y-k)²=r²--------> (x-0)²+(y-0)²=5²------> x²+y²=25
substitute the value of x=-2 in the equation
(-2)²+y²=25------> y²=25-4------> y=(+/-)√21
the y coordinate of point A is positive----> see the picture
therefore
y=√21-----> 4.58-----> y=4.6
the answer is
the y-coordinate for point A is 4.6

Answer: 17/18
In words, this is seventeen eighteenths
==========================================
Work Shown:
4/9 + 9/18
8/18 + 9/18 ... see note below
(8+9)/18
17/18
----------------
note: To go from 4/9 to 8/18, we multiply top and bottom by 2. So that's why 4/9 = 8/18.
The diagram below shows a visual representation of why 4/9 = 8/18.
In the top row, I've drawn out 9 rectangles of the same size. Then I've shaded 4 of the 9 rectangles to represent the fraction 4/9. In the bottom row, I've cut each of those 9 rectangles into two smaller equal pieces, so we have 9*2 = 18 rectangles now. Note how the shaded regions are the same size, so this shows 4 green regions doubles to 2*4 = 8 yellow regions; therefore 4/9 is the same as 8/18.
