What is the distance from (6, -8) to the origin?

1 answer:

7 0

You have to use Pythagoras' theorem for this!

The triangle formed is 6 units across, and 8 units down, which means we can form an equation like this:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2
6^2 + 8^2 = c^2
36 + 64 = c^2
100 = c^2
c = 10.

The answer is 10 :)

V = l * w * h
V = 4 ft * 1 ft * 2ft
V = 8ft

For what value or values of b is it true that |b| = -b

snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

b =0

Step-by-step explanation:

The only value where |b| = -b is when b=0

|0| = -0

0 = 0

Absolute value means non- negative

non-negative = negative

This is only true when we equal zero

A 120-inch strip of metal 12 inches wide is to be made into a small open trough by bending up two sides on the long side, at rig

mezya [45]

Answer:

x= 3 inch should be turned up on each side

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of trough be x.

Width of trough be 12 - 2x.

and length of trough = 120 inch

Volume of trough, V = L×W×H = 120 × (12-2x) × x = 120x(12 - 2x)

For maximum volume, we find V' = 0

i.e 1440 -480x = 0

or x = $\frac{1440}{480}$

or x= 3

Hence x= 3 inch should be turned up on each side
