Answer:

The distance between the two points is 25.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the distance between two points in the coordinate plane, you must first make a right triangle and use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the missing side, which is the distance between the points.  Sometimes, it is best to graph the points to get a visual of the triangle, however, you can also find the lengths of the legs ('a' and 'b') by finding the distance between your x and y values.  In this case, there are 24 points between the x-values and 7 points between the y-values.  These represent our legs in the Pythagorean Theorem:  a² + b² = c².  Filling in the values for 'a' and 'b' gives us: 24² + 7² = c² or 576 + 49 = 625.  In order to find c, we need to take the √625, which is 25.  So, the distance between the points given is 25.

\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points} \\\\ (\stackrel{x_1}{-2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{5})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{22}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{12})\qquad \qquad d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2} \\\\\\ d=\sqrt{[22-(-2)]^2+[12-5]^2}\implies d=\sqrt{(22+2)^2+(12-5)^2} \\\\\\ d=\sqrt{24^2+7^2}\implies d=\sqrt{625}\implies d=25

What is the area of a triangle with vertices (1,0) (5,0) (3,4)
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

The area of the triangle is of 8 units of area.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

The area of the triangle is of 21 units of area.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle with three vertices (x_1,y_1),(x_2,y_2),(x_3,y_3) is given by the determinant of the following matrix:

A = \pm 0.5 \left|\begin{array}{ccc}x_1&y_1&1\\x_2&y_2&1\\1_3&y_3&1\end{array}\right|

In this question:

Vertices (1,0) (5,0) (3,4). So

A = \pm 0.5 \left|\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&1\\5&0&1\\3&4&1\end{array}\right|

A = \pm 0.5(1*0*1+0*1*3+1*5*4-1*0*3-0*5*1-1*1*4)

A = \pm 0.5*(20-4)

A = \pm 0.5*16 = 8

The area of the triangle is of 8 units of area.

Solve the system by substitution.<br> y + 4 = x <br> 10x + 2y = 16
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

  • (2, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given system:</u>

  • y + 4 = x
  • 10x + 2y = 16

<u>Substitute x into the second equation:</u>

  • 10(y + 4) + 2y = 16
  • 10y + 40 + 2y = 16
  • 12y = -24
  • y = -2

<u>Find x:</u>

  • x = -2 + 4
  • x = 2
