i believe it's 22.5 out of 45 to get exactly .500
So use pythagorean theorem to find the straight distance between hhouses
legs are 6 and 8
a^2+b^2=c^2
6^2+8^2=c^2
36+64=c^2
100=c^2
squrer root both sides
10=c
the distance=10 miles
Answer:
-5 and -5.5;
-12.5 and 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Two negative addends, can be added together to give -10.5.
For example:
(-5) + (-5.5) = -5 - 5.5 = -10.5
Also, it is possible for one of the addends to be negative while the other is positive, and their sum will give us -10.5.
For example:
The sum of -12.5 and 2 will give us -10.5.
We are adding a positive and a negative number here. As usual, we will subtract the smaller number from the bigger number, while the result will carry the sign of the bigger number, which in this case is negative sign.
Thus:
(-12.5) + (2) = -10.5
The three points give you three equations, which you can solve by your favorite method.
.. 0m +0n +b = 6
.. 1m +0n +b = -3
.. 0m +2n +b = 5
(m, n, b) = (-9, -1/2, 6)
so the equation of the plane can be written as
.. z = -9x -1/2y +6
_____
In standard form, this would be
.. 18x +y +2z = 12
