Answer:

<em>The order of subtraction is not important in any of the coordinates</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance Between Two Points

Given two points (x1,y2) (x2,y2), the distance between them is given by the formula

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

The difference between both coordinates is squared, then added, and finally extracted the square root.

Based on the principle that

a*a=a^2

and also

(-a)(-a)=a^2

We can notice it doesn't matter the sign of a the square of a is always positive. If we had subtracted in the opposite way, the distance would have resulted in exactly the same. In other words, the above formula is exactly the same as

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

As seen, it applies for both coordinates

the side length of the state flag of Colorado are in the ratio of 2:3 if the flag is 12 ft long what is the height?​
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

The height is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratios are just fractions. That being said, you also have part of a fraction. You know that the colorado flag is in 2:3, and 12 feet long is according to that ratio; it equals each other.

Make the equation.

\frac{2}{3}  = \frac{x}{12}

Now isolate x (in order to solve for it)

12 * \frac{2}{3}  = \frac{x}{12}*12\\8 = x

x= 8

The height is 8.

8/12 = 2/3 ✅
