Answer:

The length of XY is either 10 or 2.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information: ZY = 5, XC = 3 and DC = 4.

Case 1: Rectangle ABCD is smaller than ZBXY.

The opposite sides of the rectangle are same.

ZY=BC+XC

5=BC+3

2=BC

The length of ABCD is 4 and width of ABCD is 2. The width of ZBXY is 5. The corresponding sides of the similar rectangles are is in the same proportion.

\frac{4}{XY}=\frac{2}{5}

\frac{4\times 5}{2}=XY

10=XY

Therefore the value of XY is 10.

Case 2: Rectangle ABCD is larger than ZBXY.

ZY=BC-XC

5=BC-3

8=BC

The length of ABCD is 4 and width of ABCD is 8. The width of ZBXY is 5. The corresponding sides of the similar rectangles are is in the same proportion.

\frac{4}{XY}=\frac{8}{5}

\frac{4\times 5}{8}=XY

2.5=XY

Therefore the value of XY is 2.5.

sdas [7]

Answer:  The last expression shows the result of 3  so it models the distance between x and y.

Step-by-step explanation:

First you will have to  find the distance between the two points by square the x coordinates and squaring the y coordinates to find their sum .  

-4 - (-1) = -3

-5 - ( -5) = 0

-3^2 + 0^2 = d^2   where d  is the distance

9  = d^2

d= 3  

The distance is 3 units  

Now evaluate which expression have a solution as 3.

The last expression is the answer

the absolute value for -4 is 4   , and the absolute value for -1 is 1  and 4 minus 1 is 3.
