2x+2+x=20
3x+2=20
3x+2-2=20-2
3x=18

18/3=6
So x=6
So the shorter one is 6ft and the longer piece is 14ft. (Additional work to help support answer more) 14+6=20 and 6*2+2=14.

What is the formula to find distance in coordinate geometry, given coordinates (x_1, y_1), (x_2, y_2)? (valid variables for this
madreJ [45]

Answer:

The distance formula is: d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Two points on a coordinate plane are given as:

(x_1,y_1)\ and\ (x_2,y_2)

Now, let the points be A(x_1,y_1)\ and\ B(x_2,y_2) and let 'd' be the distance between the two points.

Now, join the points A and B to make a line segment AB.

Also, draw a right angled triangle ABC right angled at point C. Point C is is the intersection of horizontal and vertical lines drawn from points A and B respectively as shown in the figure below.

From the triangle ABC, we observe that:

AB = d

AC = x_2-x_1

BC = y_2-y_1

Now, we use Pythagoras theorem to find 'd'. This gives,

AB^2=AC^2+BC^2\\\\d^2=(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2

Now, taking square root on both sides, we get:

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

Ignoring the negative result as distance can never be negative.

Therefore, the formula  to find distance in coordinate geometry, given coordinates (x_1, y_1), (x_2, y_2) is:

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

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer: -5/21.

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{2}{5}*[\frac{-3}{7} +(\frac{-1}{6})]=\frac{2}{5} *(-\frac{3}{7} -\frac{1}{6}) =\frac{2}{5}*(-\frac{3*6+1*7)}{7*6}  )=\frac{2}{5}*(-\frac{18+7}{42})=\frac{2}{5}*(-\frac{25}{42})=-\frac{5}{21} .

Good luck an' have a nice day!
