Answer:

<h2>11 units</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Method 1:

The formula of a distance between two points:

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

We have the points (7, 2) and (-4, 2). Substitute:

$d=\sqrt{(2-2)^2+(-4-7)^2}=\sqrt{0^2+(-11)^2}=\sqrt{11^2}=11$

Method 2:

Look at the picture. Mark points in the coordinate system.

Read the length of the segment.

A basket contains 15/16 pound of oranges .One serving of oranges is 1/8 of a pound.How many servings of oranges are there

nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

2/15 servings

Step-by-step explanation:

IF a basket contains 15/16 pound of oranges, then;

1 servings= 15/16 pounds of oranges

To get the number of servings for 1/8 pounds

x servings = 1/8 pounds

Divide both expressions

1/x = (15/16)/(1/8)

1/x = 15/16 * 8/1

1/x = 15/2

x = 2/15

Hence there will be 2/15 servings of oranges

Ln how many ways 5 person sitted in a round table having 8 seats?

kvasek [131]

Answer: First consider the case that ‘just’ 5 persons are seated around a round table.

Clearly, ‘just’ 5 persons can be seated around a round table in (5 - 1)! = 4! = 24 ways.

Now, one vacant chair is to be inserted among them.

Say, for a particular sitting arrangement ‘ABCDE’; there are 5 scopes available for inserting the vacant chair - between A and B, between B and C, between C and D, between D and E & between E and A.

So, there are 5*24 = 120 ways available that 5 persons can sit around a round table with 6 chairs.

Kateri draws a square. She wants to draw one line to draw one line to divide the square into 2 triangles. Is it possible for her

Vika [28.1K]

No. Since you can only draw from the corners to get triangles, you will end up with two right triangles because of the corners. If it is a right triangle, it can obviously not be obtuse.
