Answer:

Hi there!

Your answer is:

8.6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance formula is

√ ( (x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2 )

In your points:

A (-3, -2)

-3 is x1

-2 is y1

B (4, -7)

4 is x2

-7 is y2

Plug in to distance formula

√ ( 4-( -3))^2 + ( -7 - (-2))^2

√ (4+3)^2 + (-7+2)^2

√ (7^2) + ( -5)^2

√ 49 + 25

√ 74

This equals roughly 8.6 units!

One positive integer is 5 times another positive integer and their product is 320. What are the positive integers?

seropon [69]

Answer:

The integers are (x, y) = (40, 8).

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 5y

xy = 320

Substitute the first equation into the second equation.

(5y)(y) = 320

5y^2 = 320

y^2 = 64

y = 8 (y must be positive)

The integers are (x, y) = (40, 8).

A baker is using a cookie that calls for 2 1/4 cups of flour to yield 36 cookies, how much flour will the baker neeto to make 90

andre [41]

Answer:

$5 \frac{5}{8}$ cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A baker is using a cookie that calls for 2 $\frac{1}{4}$ cups of flour to yield 36 cookies.

To find the number of flour will the baker need to make 90 cookies, we form a proportion.

Let's convert 2 $\frac{1}{4}$ to improper fraction.

$2\frac{1}{4} = \frac{(2*4) + 1}{4} = \frac{9}{4}$

Let "x" be the amount flour to make 90 cookies

Amount of Flour Number of cookies

$\frac{9}{4}$ 36

x 90

Now form a proportion.

$\frac{\frac{9}{4}}{x} = \frac{36}{90}$

Now let's cross multiply, we get

$\frac{9}{4} *90 = 36x\\\$

$\frac{810}{4} = 36x\\x = \frac{810 }{4*36} \\x = \frac{810}{144} \\\\x = 5 \frac{90}{144}$

Now let's simplify the fraction part, Here the GCF of 90 and 144 is 18, so dividing the fraction's numerator and the denominator by 18, we get

x = $5 \frac{5}{8}$ cups

So the baker needs $5 \frac{5}{8}$ cups to make 90 cookies.

A pair of tangents to a circle which is inclined to each other at an angle of 60 degree are drawn at ends of two radii. The angl

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

The angle between these radii must be 120º.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Euclidean Geometry, two tangents to a circle are symmetrical to each other and the axis of symmetry passes through the center of the circle and, hence, each tangent is perpendicular to a respective radius. We represent the statement in the diagram included below.

Then, we calculate the angle of the radius with respect to the axis of symmetry by knowing the fact that sum of internal angles within triangle equals 180º. That is to say:

$\theta = 180^{\circ}-90^{\circ}-30^{\circ}$
