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

Which three-dimensional figures have lateral faces that are polygons? Check all that apply
miv72 [106K]

Question:

Which three-dimensional figures have lateral faces that are polygons? check all that apply.

- cones

- cylinders

- hemispheres

- prisms

- pyramids

- spheres

Answer:

The correct choices are;

- prisms and

- pyramids

Step-by-step explanation:

A polygon is a figure closed or bounded with several straight line segments and polygons are named based on how many sides, side size and sizes of angles that they have present.

A three sided polygon for example is called a triangle

A lateral face are the faces of a prism except the base

Based on the definitions, we note that out of the options, only prisms, and pyramids have lateral faces that are made up entirely of straight line segments, hence polygons. Therefore, the correct choices are prisms and pyramids.

Find the quotient: –37.44 ÷ 4.8 Check reasonableness by estimating: –37.44 4.8 Estimated quotient:
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The most important part of this question is the estimation. That means you round either up or down to get whole numbers.

You can make - 37.44 either - 40 or - 35

You can make 4.8 into 5

So the answer should lie between -40/5 = - 8

or

The answer should be between - 35/5 = - 7

Use your calculator to check it.

-37.44 ÷ 4.8 = - 7.8

This skill is very handy when shopping or writing a test. It you get an outrageous answer like - 21.44 you know you have done something wrong.

I need help on question 1 of symbolic representation
monitta

Answer:

f(x) = 0x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets use the slope formula to determine the slope of this graph:

m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1} } \\\\m=\frac{5-5 }{4-(-7)} \\\\m=0

SO we know the slope is zero.

If we know the slope is zero, then the y intercept must be at 5.

So the equation would be:

f(x) = 0x + 5
