Answer:

There are 176 women in the company.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of men are 5x and number of women are 8x.

Total number of employees in the company are 286.

But according to given condition, total no of employees are :

$5x+8x = 286\\\\13x=286\\\\x=\dfrac{286}{13}\\\\x=22$

Total no of women are 8x. It means $22\times 8=176$ . Hence, there are 176 women in the company.

Explain how the distance formula can prove Pythagoras' Theorem. In your

Paul [167]

Answer:

Given a triangle ABC, Pythagoras' Theorem shows that:

$c^2=a^2+b^2$

Thus,

$c = \sqrt{a^2+b^2}$

The distance formula, gives an equivalent expression based on two points at the end of the hypotenuse for a triangle.

$d^2 = (x_{2} -x_{1})^2 + (y_{2} -y_{1})^2$

$d = \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2 + (y_{2} -y_{1})^2 }$

Therefore when given the hypotenuse with endpoints at

$(x_{1}, y_{1}) and {(x_{2}, y_{2})$

We know that the third point of the right triangle will be at

$(x_{2}, y_{1})$

and that the two side lengths will be defined by the absolute values of:

$(x_{2} - x_{1}) = a$

$(y_{2} - y_{1}) = b$
