please give me the brainliest answer
You can use the distance formula.
The distance formula says the distance between two given points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)
=

Your given points are (8, -1) and (-2, -1).
The distance will be

.
But you could have recognized that both points have the same y-coordinate of -1, which means change in distance is determined by change in x-coordinates only.
Change in x-coordinates is |-8 - 2| = 10. There is absolute value because distance cannot be negative.
A is the correct answer. Hope this helps. I need brainliest so if you can I really appreciate it!
Answer:
B 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability of rolling an even number on a fair, six-sided die is 3/6 = 1/2, which results from three of the six possibilities of {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} being even numbers.
Here we would use the idea that the post and its shadow form a triangle and the tree and its shadow form a triangle and the side lengths of these two triangles are of the same ratio, ie. if the height of the tree is given by h then:
5/8 = h/48
h = 48*(5/8)
h = 6*5 = 30
Thus the tree is 30 ft tall
