(5 points) Create a user-defined data structure (i.e., struct) called Point that represents a two-dimensional Cartesian coordina

te (x, y). The member variables of this struct will be just x and y, which are both floating-point values. (5 points) Define a function called calculateDistance that takes two parameters, each of type Point* (i.e., pointer to Point) and returns the distance between the two given points. As you may recall, the formula for calculating the distance between two points, say p1(x1, y1) and p2(x2, y2) is:

Answer:

Here is the C++ program:

#include<iostream>  //to use input output functions

#include <math.h>  //to use sqrt and pow function

#include<iomanip>  //to use setprecision

using namespace std;   //to identify objects cin cout

struct Point  {  // structure name

float x,y;  // member variables

};  

float calculateDistance (Point a, Point b)  {  //function that that takes two parameters of type Point

float distance;  //stores the distance between two points

distance=sqrt(pow(a.x-b.x,2)+pow(a.y-b.y,2));  //formula to compute distance between two points

return distance;  }  //returns the computed distance

int main()  {  //start of main function

Point p1,p2;  //creates objects of Point

cout<<"Enter point 1 coordinates: "<<endl;  //prompts user to enter the value for coordinates of first point

cin>>p1.x;  //reads input value of x coordinate of point 1 (p1)

cin>>p1.y;  //reads y coordinate of point 1 (p1)

cout<<"Enter point 2 coordinates: "<<endl;  //prompts user to enter the value for coordinates of second point

cin>>p2.x;  //reads input value of x coordinate of point 2 (p2)

cin>>p2.y;  //reads y coordinate of point 2 (p2)

cout<<"The distance between two points is "<<fixed<<setprecision(2)<<calculateDistance(p1,p2);} //calls function by passing p1 and p2 to compute the distance between p1 and p2 and display the result (distance) up to 2 decimal places

Explanation:

The program has a structure named Point that represents a two-dimensional Cartesian coordinate (x, y). The member variables of this struct are x and y, which are both floating-point values. A function called calculateDistance takes two parameters, a and b of type Pointer and returns the distance between the two given points using formula:

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

It uses pow function to compute the power of 2 and sqrt function to compute the square root.

Then in main() method the program prompts the user to enter coordinates for two points and calls calculateDistance method to compute the distance between two points and display the result up to 2 decimal places using setprecision(2).

The program along with the output is attached in a screenshot.

Each wireless network has its own name to identify it, known as service set identity. true false
Dominik [7]
True. The acronym for service set identity is SSID, which you've likely saw before. And like you say, it's simply the unique name given to a wireless network so that we are able to identify what network we are connecting to.

Which device or appliance emits radio waves
ale4655 [162]
There are multiple devices that emit radio waves. The most obvious is are radiod and microwaves (yes, the food cooker). Wireless applicances also emit radio waves. But don't confuse everything to use microwaves. Some applicances use frequencies instead of radio waves. Some applicances that use frequencies are toy control remotes and a garage door.

I hope this helps! Please make sure ask me if you need more clarity!

algol [13]
The recommendation of the instructor for Gaven to include a personal statement in his work portfolio will allow him to identify his career goals. If he is unable to show this to his work portfolio then he may simply state it in the personal statement. Thus, the answer to this item is letter A.

Which of the following galaxy types is most likely to be clearly identifiable, regardless of orientation? SBc
Reil [10]

Answer:

The most likely galaxy type to be identifiable regardless of orientation is: Irr

Explanation:

The Irr galaxies don't have a discernable or usual shape; that is why it is relatively easy to identify.

When we talk about E type galaxies, this statement proves itself by the way the cumulus of stars compounds the galaxy. The elliptical galaxies have the form of ellipses, with a reasonable distribution of stars. The degree of eccentricity is the number that complements the E letter; that's why E0 galaxies are almost spherical, while E7 is considerably elongated.

SBc, SBa galaxies are spiral; this means it can be flat in some angles difficulting their identification process; in this case, the last letter means the way the arms display their form, with "c" having a vague form and "a" well-defined arms. That's why in some angles can be mistreated as another type of galaxy.
