When you put this into your calculator, you get - 7.2111. The closest point to that is L.
Answer: -7.2111 is closest to L
Unsure of what you are asking!
But if the issue here is how to define a line segment, write what you do know and then reconsider "undefined terms."
A line segment is a straight line that connects a given starting point and given ending point.
If you consider a circle of radius 3 units, the radius can be thought of as the line segment connecting the center of the circle to any point on the circumference of the circle.
If the center of a given circle is at C(0,0) and a point on the circumference is given by R(3sqrt(2),3sqrt(2)), then AC is the line segment joining these two points. This line segment has length 3 and is in the first quadrant, with coordinates x=3sqrt(2) and y=3sqrt(2) describing the end point of the segment.
The two planes are flying on the two legs of a right triangle.
The straight distance between them is the hypotenuse of the triangle.
Since the speeds are in mph, let's work the time in hours.
Call the time 'H' that we're looking for.
It's the number of hours after they both take off that they're 650 miles apart.
After 'H' hours, the first plane has gone 500H miles north.
After 'H' hours, the second plane has gone 1200H miles east.
After 'H' hours, they are 650 miles apart.
Do you remember this for a right triangle ? ==> A² + B² = C²
(500H)² + (1200H)² = (650)²
250,000H² + 1,440,000H² = 422,500
1,690,000 H² = 422,500
H² = (422,500) / (1,690,000) = 0.25
H = √0.25 = 1/2 hour = 30 minutes
Sometimes when you’re doing math, it’s easier to line your numbers up when you have your ratio as a decimal! Hope it helped
Please specify what your asking, and I'd be glad to help!
