How to find the point that is equidistant from (5,-5) and (1,1)

<h3>Answer: (3, -2)</h3>

Explanation:

Your teacher wants you to find the midpoint. This is the point that is in the middle of the two given points. Let's call this M. So the distance from M to (5,-5) will be the same as the distance from M to (1,1)

The x coordinates of (5,-5) and (1,1) are 5 and 1 respectively.

Add them up: 5+1 = 6

Divide by two: 6/2 = 3

The x coordinate of the midpoint is x = 3

Repeat for the y values -5 and 1

Add: -5+1 = -4

Divide in half: -4/2 = -2

The y coordinate of the midpoint is y = -2

So the midpoint is M = (x,y) = (3,-2)

If you were to use the distance formula, you would find that

distance from (5,-5) to (3,-2) = distance from (3,-2) to (1,1)

This is what it means to be "equidistant" (aka "equally distant")

Find exact volume of a sphere with a radius of 10in
Elodia [21]

To find the volume of a sphere, we can apply the following formula:

(4

/3)πr^3

We know the radius is 10, so we can plug that value in.

(4/3) * pi * 10^3

<h3>V = 4188.79020479in^3</h3>

The question says "exact" volume, so I've included all of the digits in the tenths and beyond place, without rounding.

Azim wants to buy a tablet computer that is priced 180.50 if the sales tax rate on the computer is 8% how many dollars and cents
madreJ [45]

Answer: 98.1%

Explanation:

A 10% sale means that the post-sale price of the item is now 90%, or 0.9 of the original cost of the item. We then apply 9% sales tax by multiplying the 0.9 by 109%, or 1.09. 0.9 * 1.09 = .981, so the total cost of the item is 98.1% of the original pre-sale sticker price.

For percentage problems that do not deal with a specific starting number, it is always helpful to plug in 100 for the starting number. Here, we would then have a post-sale price of 90 dollars, and if we calculate the sales tax for the 90-dollar item it would be 90 * 0.09 = $8.10. THis gives us a total cost of 90 + 8.10 = $98.10, or 98.1% of the original 100-dollar price.
