Finding distance between each pair of points. how to know which is x1 y1 and x2 y2 when using (x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2? People are

saying it doesnt matter but wouldnt it be different if you answered it but switched them up?

<u>It doesn't matter what order the coordinates are in the distance formula as long as it stays in it's corresponding order.</u> In this case, (-7,5) could be (x1,y1) and (3,-5) could be (x2,y2) or vise versa, just as long as you don't mix up the coordinates (so no (-7,-5) or (3,5)). I'll demonstrate this below:

\sqrt{(-7-3)^2+(5-(-5))^2}\\\sqrt{(-10)^2+(10)^2}\\\sqrt{100+100}\\\sqrt{200}\\\\\sqrt{(3-(-7))^2+(-5-5)^2}\\\sqrt{(10)^2+(-10)^2}\\\sqrt{100+100}\\\sqrt{200}

<u>The distance between these points, no matter the order, is √200, or approximately 14.14 units.</u>

Find the value of b. Then find the angle measures of the pentagon.
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

b = 90

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum the interior angles of the pentagon and equate to 540

Starting from the top and going clockwise

b + b + 45 + 90 + 2b - 90 + \frac{3}{2} b = 540 ← simplify left side

\frac{11}{2} b + 45 = 540 ( multiply through by 2 to clear the fraction )

11b + 90 = 1080 ( subtract 90 from both sides )

11b = 990 ( divide both sides by 11 )

b = 90

Thus

b + 45 = 90 + 45 = 135

2b - 90 = 2(90) - 90 = 180 - 90 = 90

\frac{3}{2} b = \frac{3}{2} × 90 = 135

The angle measure from the top clockwise are

90°, 135°, 90°, 90°, 135°
