Answer:

11 units

Step-by-step explanation:

According to ruler postulate, if there are two points A with coordinate a

and point B with coordinate b, \

then distance ab is given by subtracting coordinate in any order i.e it can be (a-b) or (b-a) and then take the absolute value value of it.

mathematically it can be represented as

AB = |a-b| or |b-a|

_________________________________________

in the given problem points are -9 and 2

thus distance

distance between –9 and 2  = |-9 -2| = |-11|  = 11

absolute value of -11 is 11

alternatively, distance can be calculated as

distance between –9 and 2  = |2 -(-9) | = |2 + 9 | = |-11|  = 11

Find the distance from point B to point C.
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

11.2 = BC

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use trig functions

tan theta = opposite side/ adjacent side

tan 66 = BC/ 5

Multiply each side by 5

5 tan 66 = BC

11.23018387 = BC

Rounding to the nearest tenth

11.2 = BC

Select the correct answer. to solve this system of equations using substitution, what could be substituted in place of y in the
Rina8888 [55]

To use substitution to evaluate this system of equations, the y value to be substituted is 2x - 7.

<h3>What is method of substitution?</h3>

The algebraic method for solving simultaneous linear equations is the substitution method. The values of one variables from one expression is substituted with in second equation, as the name implies.

Now according to the question;

The expressions are as follows;

4x = 5 – 2y and y – 2x + 7 = 0

To solve the following system of equations, we must determine what substitution must be made in place of y in the first equation.

Let us now deduce the value of y from the second equation.

y – 2x + 7 = 0 ⇒ y = 2x – 7

We now have the y value, which we can plug into the first equation;

⇒ 4x = 5 – 2(2x – 7)

4x = 5 – 4x + 14

4x + 4x = 5 + 14

8x = 19

x = 19/8

Substitute the value of x in y to get its value.

y = 2×(19/8) - 7

y = -9/4

Thus, the values obtained for the given set of equations are-

x = 19/8 and y = -9/4 by method of substitution.
