Answer:

<h2>10 units </h2>

solution,

A(-2,-4)--->(X1,y1)

B(-8,4)----->(x2,y2)

now,

$ab = \sqrt{(x2 - x1) ^{2} + {(y2 - y1)}^{2} } \\ \: \: \: \: = \sqrt{ (- 8 - ( - 2)) ^{2} + (4 - ( - 4)) ^{2} } \\ \: \: \: = \sqrt{( - 8 + 2) ^{2} + {(4 + 4)}^{2} } \\ \: \: \: = \sqrt{( - 6) ^{2} + {(8)}^{2} } \\ \: \: = \sqrt{36 + 64} \\ \: \: \: = \sqrt{100} \\ \: \: \: = \sqrt{ {(10)}^{2} } \\ \: \: \: \: = 10 \: units$

Hope this helps..

What is the sum of the arithmetic sequence 3, 9, 15..., if there are 26 terms?

masya89 [10]

9 - 3 = 6, 15-9 = 6 the difference is 6, So d = 6

First term: a1 = 3

Sn = n*(a1 + an)/2

Sn = n*(a1 + a1 + (n-1)*d)/2

Sn = n*(2*a1 + (n-1)*d)/2

substitute 26 for n
 S26 = 26*(2*a1 + (26-1)*d)/2

substitute 3 for a1

S26 = 26*(2*3 + (26-1)*d)/2

substitute 6 for d

S26 = 26*(2*3 + (26-1)*6)/2 

S26 = 2,028

Answer:

l=22cm

b:16cm

h:10cm

surface area =2(lb+bh+lh)=2(22*16+16*10+22*10)

=1464cm²

a=2.5dm

area cubical soda cracker box=6a²=6*2.5²=37.5dm²

r=1.5dm

Suppose that the height (in centimeters) of a candle is a linear function of the amount of time (in hours) it has been burning.

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

Hey! The answer is 25,4 centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a linear function you can use y=mx+n

So if x = hours and y= height.

You know that

$\left \{ {{27,8=11m +n} \atop {24,8=26m +n}} \right.$

So:

If you multiply (24,8=26m +n) x-1

It is: -24,8 = -26m -n

Adding up the other equation

-24,8 = -26m -n

27,8 = 11m + n

3 = -15m

m= -0,2

27,8 = 11 x 0,2 + n

27,8 = -2,2 + n

30 = n

This results that te linear function for this equation is:

y = -0,2x + 30

The answer is

y=23(-0,2) + 30

y=-4,6+30

y=25,4

What is the x-and y-intercept of the graph 4x -5y =40??

umka21 [38]

Answer:

x-intercept = 10

y-intercept = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

$4x-5y=40$

To identify the y-intercept, we will need to format the equation in the form $y=mx+b$ . We can start by subtracting $4x$ from both sides of the equation:
