Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find B and C prime, you must multiply them by .25, or 1/4.


B' =  

(-2 x .25),(1 x .25)


I did mine in fraction form, because it will prove to be more useful in future mathematics.


B' = (1/2  ,  1/4)


Repeat the process with C.


C' =

(14 x .25),(17 x .25)


C' =

(7/2  ,  17/4)




You only need to focus on B and C because you are finding the length of B'C'.


The formula for distance is the square root of x to the sub of 2 minus x to the sub of 1 squared minus y to the sub of 2 minus y to the sub of 1 square.


x2 -  x1 =  7/2  -  1/2  =  6/2  =  3 squared  =  9


y2 - y1 = 17/4 - 1/4 = 16/4  =  4 squared = 16


16 + 9  = 25


Square root of 25 is 5.


Therefore, the distance is 5.

Simpify the expression.<br>5+4z-2z<br><br>Simpilfied expression ​
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

2z + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

you have to combine like terms

subtract 4z - 2z and you get 2z

the number with the variable next to it goes first not the constant

2z + 5

the variable is z and the constant is 5 because it doesn't have variable next to it

hope this makes sense and helps :)

A girl is 18 years old and her brother is a third of her age. When the girl is 36 what would be the age of the brother?
ale4655 [162]
First we need to calculate how many years her brother has when she is 18. As text says he is:
18/3 = 6 years old

Now when she gains another 18 years (36-18=18) he will also gain those 18 years

When she is 36 he will have 6+18=24 years old

Answer is 24.

Stells [14]

Answer: 6,625 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Since she gets picked up in the afternoon, she's only walking one way. This means all you have to do is multiply 1,325 by 5 to get 6,625.
