If a 25 ft rope is cut into two sections with one section 4 times as long as the other section, how long is the shorter piece?

1 answer:

7 0

X = short section of rope
4x = longer section of rope

x + 4x = 25
5x = 25
x = 5

…or in other words the shorter piece of rope is 5 feet long

What is the distance between the points (-4, 2) and (1, -3) on the coordinate plane?

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

A. 7.07 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distance formula for coordinates:

$d=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2 +(y_{2}-y_{1})^2 }$

Fill in the coordinates accordingly:

$d=\sqrt{(1-(-4))^2+(-3-2)^2}$

which simplifies down to

$d=\sqrt{25+25}$

which is of course

$d=\sqrt{50}$

Plug that into your calculator and you'll get the answer
