Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A right angle triangle is formed.

The diagonal or shortcut that he found represents the hypotenuse of each right angle triangle. The number of blocks he used to walk due due east and north represents the adjacent and opposite sides of the right angle triangle. To determine the number of blocks he would have to walk when he takes the shortcut,d, we would apply Pythagoras theorem which is expressed as

Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side²

Therefore

d² = 7² + 3²

d² = 49 + 9 = 58

d = √58

d = 7.6 blocks

The normal distance is

3 + 7 = 10 blocks

The number of blocks by which the shortcut is shorter than walking the blocks is

10 - 7.6 = 2.4

Answer:

The answer to your question is 2.4 units shorter.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

3 blocks east and 7 blocks north.

Process

1.- Calculate the distance walking the blocks

     distance = 3 + 7

     distance = 10

2.- Calculate when walking diagonally using the pythagorean theorem

     distance² =  3² + 7²

     distance² = 9 + 49

     distance² = 58

     distance = 7.62

3.- Calculate the difference of distances

     Δd = 10 - 7.62

     Δd = 2.38 units

True or False?: To make a sketch of any rational function whose numerator is a number and whose denominator is a factored polyno
sergejj [24]
The question is for any rational function. I give one example in picture below. There we can see that first part of the "rule" is true. we indeed have vertical asymptotes at every x value where denominator is zero in this case x = 3 and x = 1. but second part of the rule is not true. we can see that if we inverse x ( we have factor that looks like a - x we get positive function between asymptotes.

Answer is False

2a. Determine the equation of the line connecting the points (0, -1) and (2, 3) *
Sauron [17]
First create the equation y=Mx+ B

B is the y intercept so when y = 0, B = -1.

Now we have y=Mx - 1

The slope is M. We can calculate this by using the formula M = (y2 -y1) / (x2 - x1)

Use the points (0, -1) and (2,3) for these values. So y2 = 3, y1 = -1, x2 = 2, x1 = 0

Plug them into the equation and solve

M = (3 + 1) / (2 - 0)
M = 4/2 = 2

Now we have the equation y = 2x - 1

Next to figure out if the points given are on the line you take the values and plug them into your equation like so: 4 = 2(-2) - 1

2(-2) - 1 does not equal 4 so this point does not fall on this line. Follow this same procedure for the next point given.

Misha Larkins [42]
Set up a proportion 
160 mi/ 3.2 hrs ≈ 300 mi/x hrs
cross multiply and solve for x and you get x≈6
It will take them 6 hours

<h2><em><u>Answer:</u></em></h2>

Total Surface Area = 375 ft^2

<h2><em><u>Step-by-step explanation:</u></em></h2>

You need to find the area of the ceiling, floor, the two rectangle walls and the two trapezoid walls

<u>Area of the ceiling:</u>

c = length * width

c = 9*6.5 = 58.5

<u>Area of the 2 rectangle walls:</u>

w = 2(length * width)

w = 2(9 * 8)

w = 2(72)

w = 144

<u>Area of floor:</u>

f = 9 * 7.5

f = 67.5

<u>Area of the two trapezoids:</u>

t = 2(h * \frac{a + b}{2})

a = 6.5

b = 7.5

h = 7.5

t = 2(h * \frac{a + b}{2})

t = 2(7.5 * \frac{6.5 + 7.5}{2})

t = 2(7.5 * \frac{14}{2})

t = 2(7.5 * 7)

t = 2(52.5)

t = 105

Total Surface Area = c + w + f + t

Total Surface Area = 58.5 + 144 + 67.5 + 105

Total Surface Area = 375 ft^2
