Answer: $\sqrt{(7-1)^2+(4-1)^2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, by the distance formula,

The distance between two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is,

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Therefore, the distance between EF is,

$\sqrt{(7-1)^2+(4-1)^2}$

Which is the required expression,

$EF=\sqrt{(6)^2+(3)^2}$

$EF=\sqrt{36+9}$

$EF=\sqrt{45} \text{ unit}$

Answer:

C. √2 - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

If we draw a square from the center of the large circle to the center of one of the small circles, we can see that the sides of the square are equal to the radius of the small circle (see attached diagram)

Let r = the radius of the small circle

Using Pythagoras' Theorem $a^2+b^2=c^2$

(where a and b are the legs, and c is the hypotenuse, of a right triangle)

to find the diagonal of the square:

$\implies r^2 + r^2 = c^2$

$\implies 2r^2 = c^2$

$\implies c=\sqrt{2r^2}$

So the diagonal of the square = $\sqrt{2r^2}$

We are told that the radius of the large circle is 1:

⇒ Diagonal of square + r = 1

$\implies \sqrt{2r^2}+r=1$

$\implies \sqrt{2r^2}=1-r$

$\implies 2r^2=(1-r)^2$

$\implies 2r^2=1-2r+r^2$

$\implies r^2+2r-1=0$

Using the quadratic formula to calculate r:

$\implies r=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$\implies r=\dfrac{-2\pm\sqrt{2^2-4(1)(-1)}}{2(1)}$

$\implies r=\dfrac{-2\pm\sqrt{8}}{2}$

$\implies r=-1\pm\sqrt{2}$

As distance is positive, $r=-1+\sqrt{2}=\sqrt{2}-1$ only

Bas_tet [7]

The box she ship in has the volume of 1440 cubic inch. The cookie box is 60 cubic inch, so if you divided 1440 into 60, you would get 24. So. she can fit 24 cookie boxes into the box to be shipped.
