The distance between starting and ending point is 34 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Car moves 16 miles to north then 30 mile to east.

It forms a right angle triangle.

The straight line distance from starting to ending point represents hypotenuse.

To find the distance between starting and ending point.

Formula

By <em>Pythagoras theorem,</em>

h² = b²+l² where h is the hypotenuse, b is base and l is the another side.

Taking, b=16 and l=30 we get,

h² = 16²+30²

or, h = \sqrt{256+900}

or, h = \sqrt{1156} = 34

Hence,

The distance between starting and ending point is 34 miles.

The points (–4, –3) and (–1, –8) are on a line. Find the intercepts to the nearest tenth.
I am Lyosha [343]

The intercepts are the points where the line meets with the x axis and the y axis. First let us find the equation of the line.

Finding slope:

slope=change in y/change in x (y2-y1/x2-x1)

slope=-3-(-8)/-4-(-1)=5/-3=-5/3

Finding y-intercept:

y=mx+b

-8=-5/3(-1)+b

b=-9 2/3

y intercept: (0,-9 2/3)

Equation: y=-5/3x-9 2/3

Since we already have the y intercept let us find the x intercept by plugging 0 in the place of y in the equation.

0=-5/3x-9 2/3

x=29/3x(-3/5)

x=-29/5

x intercept: (-29/5,0)

answers: (0,-9 2/3) and (-29/5,0)

Messi kicks a soccer ball from a position that is 3 meters from a sideline and 4 meters from a goal
Katarina [22]

Answer:

( 4.8 ,7.6)

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the point, B(x,y) that divides the directed line segment from Messi, M(3,4) to S(6,10) in the ratio m:n=3:2

We use the section formula:

( \frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m + n} ,\frac{my_2+ny_1}{m + n})

We substitute the coordinates and the ratio into the section formula to get:

( \frac{3 \times 6+2 \times 3}{3 + 2} ,\frac{3 \times 10+2 \times 4}{3+ 2})

We simplify to get:

( \frac{18+6}{5} ,\frac{30+8}{5})

This gives us:

( \frac{24}{5} ,\frac{38}{5})

( 4.8 ,7.6)
