Answer:

The answer to your question is 10 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

A (-3, -1)

B (-3 , 5)

length of a side = 8 units

Process

1.- Calculate the distance between A and B

dAB = \sqrt{(x2 - x1)^{2} + (y2 - y1)^{2}}

x1 = -3     y1 = -1

x2 = -3    y2 = 5

-Substitution

dAB = \sqrt{(-3 + 3)^{2}+ (5 + 1)^{2}}

dAB = \sqrt{0^{2} + 6^{2}}

dAB = \sqrt{36}

dAB = 6 u

2.- Calculate the diagonal using the Pythagorean theorem.

    c² = a² + b²

    c² = 6² + 8²

    c² = 36 + 64

    c² = 100

    c = 10 units

- Conclusion

The diagonal of the rectangle measures 10 units

5. The internal dimension of a tank are 14m, 8m and 5m. How much water can be
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

560,000L

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

L=14m

W=8m

H=5m

Volume= L*W*H

Volume= 14*8*5

Volume= 560 m^3

1m^3 = 1000L

560m^3 = x

cross multiply

x= 560*1000

x= 560,000L

Hence the volume is  560,000L

Answer:

1. Rectangle

2. 376.8 cm

3. 379.94 square feet

4. –4 and 4

Step-by-step explanation:

A square is always a rectangle.

If a wheel has a radius of 15 cm, it would travel approximately 376.8 cm per 4 revolutions.

If the diameter of a circular garden is 22 feet, the approximate area of the garden is 379.94 square feet.

The solutions to the equation y2 – 1 = 15 is –4 and 4.

3. There are 124 acorns laying on the ground in your yard, it is predicted that the number of acorns will
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

507,409

Step-by-step explanation:

if every 5 days the number quadruples (x4), and we want to know how many acorns fall after 30 days, we can divide 30 by 5 so we only have to calculate for the amount of time the take to quadruple.

30 ÷ 5 = 6

so we only have to quadruple the acorns 6 times.

if we start off with 124 acorns, this is what it will look like:

Day 0: 124 acorns

Day 5: 124 x 4 = 496 acorns

Day 10: 496 x 4 = 1984 acorns

Day 15: 1984 x 4 = 7936 acorns

etc... until day 30.

Day 30: 507904 acorns

I hope this was helpful :-)

Joe ate twice as many pieces of Halloween candy as Ed. Together they ate 48 pieces.
gulaghasi [49]

Answer: 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of candy Ed took be denoted as "x"

Since Joe ate twice the amount of candy Ed ate, then the number of candies joe ate will be denoted as "2x"

Since all together they ate a total of 48 candies, then the sum of the candies eaten by Joe and Ed is what gives a total of 48

This means:

2x + x = 48

3x = 48

X = 16.
