I'm assuming that the figure formed in this problem is a right angle. Thus, we need to use the Pythagorean theorem to get the distance or the hypotenuse.

Length = 20 meters
Height = 16 meters

a² + b² = c²

(20m)² + (16m)² = c²
400m² + 256m² = c²
656m² = c²
√656m² = √c²
25.61 m = c

The distance is 25.61 meters.

Find the slope of the line through each pair of points (-18, 13) and (-14, -20) *

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

The answer is

$- \frac{33}{4} \\$

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line given two points can be found by using the formula

$m = \frac{ y_2 - y _ 1}{x_ 2 - x_ 1} \\$

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

(-18, 13) and (-14, -20)

The slope is

$m = \frac{ - 20 - 13 }{ - 14 - - 18} = \frac{ - 33}{ - 14 + 18} = - \frac{33}{4} \\$

We have the final answer as

$- \frac{33}{4} \\$

Hope this helps you

A student's cost for last semester at her community college was $2900. She spent $406 of that on books. What percent of last

sweet [91]

We can get the percent by taking 406 / 2900 as a decimal, then multiplying by 100. 406 / 2900 is 0.14, then multiplied by 100 is 14%.
