Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

General Remark

Let's start with the long way.

Each day 1 traditional candle (shamash) is lit along with a number of candles representing that day of Chanukah. I'm taking it that a new Shamash candle must be used each day.

Total Candles = 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 = 44

Givens

  • a = 2
  • L = 9
  • n = 8

Formula

Sum = (a + L)*n/2

Solution

  • Sum = (2 + 9)*8/2
  • Sum = (11)*4
  • Sum = 44

If this is wrong can you tell me what assumption I'm making that  is incorrect.

The coordinate plane shows the positions of different places in a town. Each unit on the graph is equal to 1 block. Match the pa
Karolina [17]

Home is located at the point (-5, 5)

The park is located at the point (-2, 3)

Apply the distance formula

d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-5-(-2))^2 + (5-3)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-5+2)^2 + (5-3)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-3)^2 + (2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{9 + 4}\\\\d = \sqrt{13}\\\\d \approx 3.6055513\\\\

When rounding to the nearest whole number, we get 4. This is the approximate distance (in blocks) from home to the park. I'm not sure why "4 blocks" isn't listed as a possible distance, so there may be a typo somewhere.

You'll apply this idea to the other pairs of points to find the other distances.
