$4.61\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is

A coordinate grid is placed over a College Station map. Tiger Stadium is located at (-3, 2) and Kyle Field is located at (4, 8). If a shuttle bus stop is at the midpoint between Tiger Field and Kyle Field, which is the closest to the distance in coordinate units from Tiger Field to the shuttle bus stop?

Options

4.61 units

6.52 units

9.22 units

21.25 units

step 1

Find the midpoint between Tiger Field and Kyle Field ( shuttle bus stop)

we know that

The formula to calculate the midpoint between two points is equal to

$M=(\frac{x1+x2}{2},\frac{y1+y2}{2})$

we have the points

(-3, 2) and (4, 8)

substitute in the formula

$M=(\frac{-3+4}{2},\frac{2+8}{2})$

$M=(0.5,5)$

step 2

Find the distance from Tiger Field to the shuttle bus stop

we know that

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

$d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}$

we have the points

(-3,2) and (0.5,5)

substitute in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(5-2)^{2}+(0.5+3)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(3)^{2}+(3.5)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{21.25}\ units$

$d=4.61\ units$

(02.02 LC) Choose the equation that could be used to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 36. (5 points) n + (n + 2) + (

Annette [7]

n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) = 36 Let's first create the equation ourselves and then see if it fits any of the available options. We want 3 consecutive integers that add up to 36. Let's use the value "n" to represent the first number in the sequence. n Now the next number will be n+1 and the third will be n+2. And since we want the sum, we get n + n + 1 + n + 2 = ? And finally, we want the sum to be 36, so our final equation is n + n + 1 + n + 2 = 36 With this equation in mind, let's look at the available choices. n + (n + 2) + (n + 4) = 36 Well, it has the 36 OK, but it has +2 and +4 where we have +1 and +2. So it won't fit and it's wrong. n + (n + 1) + (n + 3) = 36 Closer. Got the 36 and the +1. But it has +3 instead of +2, so not a fit either. n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) = 36 This looks good. Has a couple of extra parenthesis, but they don't affect the final answer and it has the +1, +2 and the 36. This one is correct. n + (n â’ 1) + (n â’ 3) = 36 Hmm. The n - 1 has a possibility. Perhaps they want n to be the middle of the 3 numbers to add. If that's the case, then the other number should be n+1 which it isn't. Maybe they want the n to be the last number. If that's the case, then the third number should be n-2. But that doesn't work either. So this equation won't work. So of the 4 choices, the only answer that works is "n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) = 36"
