Answer:

17m

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a picture for the situation:

  __________<u>15m</u>___________

  |                                                     |

b |                                                     |  8m

  |________________________|

                             a

We can assume the floor is a rectangle. Cut the triangle diagonally in half.

The rectangles has all right angles and is composed of two right triangles.

Use the Pythagorean formula and solve for the length of the hypotenuse to find the distance between two the opposite corners. I labelled two of the sides a and b.

The formula is: a² + b² = c² , where c is the distance. Substitute the side lengths a and b and solve for c.

a² + b² = c²

15² + 8² = c²

Simplify:

225 + 64 = c²

c² = 289

c = √289

c = 17

The distance between two opposite corners on the floor is 17 metres.

How to graph 3 ordered pairs
Vesnalui [34]

Answer: I'm assuming you just need to graph each ordered pair without doing anything else to them. The first number in the ordered pair is called the x-intercept, the second number is the y-intercept. To graph an ordered pair you need to count the x-intercept number and go to that number on the x-axis (horizontal), do the same for the y-intercept on the y-axis (vertical) and make a point/dot. Repeat this for the other two ordered pairs.

Answer:

Same side interior angles of parallel lines are supplementary.

Step-by-step explanation:

5a + 10 + 3a + 10 = 180; 8a + 20 = 180; 8a = 160; a = 20; m<4 = 5xz + 10 = 5 * 20 + 10 = 100 + 10 = 110.

Suppose you start at the origin, move along the x-axis a distance of 4 units in the positive direction, and then move downward a
Zanzabum

Answer:

(4,0,-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we move 4 points along +ve x-axis so,  x coordinate is 4

We did not move any point along y-axis so  y coordinate is 0

we moved 5 points along -ve z-axis so z coordinate is -5

so our position is (x,y,z) = (4,0,-5)
