Answer:
z = 36
Step-by-step explanation:
- Add nine to each side, so it now looks like this: z = 36
The answer would be 1.40. The 3 significant figure are 1.39 and it wants us to round so we look at the 8 in 1.3981 and since 8 > 5 we know to round up.
Length=5 (each side)
width=5 (each side)
Given:
Height of right triangle = 9 mi
Hypotenuse = 17.5 mi
Base of right triangle = Distance across lake
To find:
The distance across the lake.
Solution:
Using Pythagoras theorem:
In right triangle, square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
Subtract 81 from both sides.
Taking square root on both sides.
⇒ base = 15
The distance across the lake 15 mi.
The correct question is
<span>Jack and Jill are trying to find the slope of a line segment connecting two points, (x1, y1) and (x2, y2). Jack uses the formula m = (y2 - y1)/( x2 - x1) . Jill mistakenly uses a different formula, but still gets the right answer. Which formula COULD she have used? A) (x2 - x1)/( y2 - y1) B) (y1 - y2)/( x1 - x2) C) (x1 - x2)/( y2 - y1) D) (y2 - y1)/( x1 - x2)
we know that
the correct formula to calculate the slope is
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
then
</span><span>if both numerator and denominator multiply it by -1
</span>
m=-(y2-y1)/-(x2-x1)---------> m=[-y2+y1]/[-x2+x1]
m=[y1-y2]/[x1-x2]
therefore
the answer is the option
B) (y1 - y2)/( x1 - x2)
