The calculated distance would be in square units instead of linear units.

Answer: Option C.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Distance Formula itself is actually derived from the Pythagorean Theorem. This is the formula where c is the longest side of a right triangle (also known as the hypotenuse) and a and b are the other shorter sides (known as the legs of a right triangle).

The distance formula is derived by creating a triangle and using the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse. The hypotenuse of the triangle is the distance between the two points.

The graph of the equation $x + 2y + 3 = 0$ is perpendicular to the graph of the equation $ax + 2y + 3 = 0$. What is the value of
insens350 [35]

Answer:

a = -4.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the are perpendicular then the slope of one graph will be - 1 / slope of the other.

Convert each equation to slope-intercept form:

x + 2y + 3 = 0

2y = = -x - 3

y = (-1/2)x - 3/2 (Slope/intercept form)

So the slope of the line perpendicular to this  will be - 1 / (-1/2) = 2.

Consider the other line:

ax + 2y + 3 = 0

2y = -ax - 3

y = (-a/2) x - 3/2 (Slope/intercept form)

So the slope for this line    - a/2 and it equals 2.

-a/2 = 2

-a = 2*2 = 4

a = -4 (answer).

PLZ HELP!!!! There is a box in your kitchen pantry that is a rectangular prism. Its volume is 64 cubic inches. How many differen
WINSTONCH [101]
We know that the volume of a rectangular prism is given by:
V = A · h
where:
A = surface area 
h = height

Therefore, you can solve for A:
A = V / h
   = 64 / h

Now, you need to ask yourself by how many numbers you can divide 64. The possible heights are 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2 and 1.

Hence:
A) there are 7 possible surface areas (one for each possible height).

B) the <span>maximum Area will be that of the box with the minimum height:
A = 64 / 1 = 64

C) the minimum Area will be that of the box with the maximum height:
A = 64 / 64 = 1</span>
