You can use the distance formula to find the distance between any two points ion the plane. In this case, look carefully at the coordinates:
R(-1, 7) and T(-7, 7), Notice they both have y-coordinate 7. That means they are both on the same horizontal line. To find their distance, just subtract -7 from -1 and take the absolute value.
|-1 - (-7)| = |-1 + 7| = |6| = 6
The distance is 6 units
Answer:
∠Q = 53.13 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that ∆PQR, ∠P = 90degrees , this means that the triangle is a right angled triangle
Hence using the notation
SOH CAH TOA
where S is sine, C is cosine, T is tangent and O, A and H represents the size of the opposite, adjacent and hypotenuse sides
Considering ∠Q and the given sides
PR=16cm is the opposite side,
PQ= 12 cm is the adjacent side hence we use TOA
Tan Q = 16/12 =
Q = Arc tan 16/12
= 53.13 degrees
Answer:
The airplane can fly up to 240 miles in a hour
Step-by-step explanation:
Cross multiply
(12)(60)=3x
720=3x
Divide 3 on both sides
x=240
Jack was planting a tree. He was to dig a hole that was 3 feet deep for every 5 feet of tree height. How deep should he dig the hole for a tree that is 17feet high.
Calculations 
Cross multiplication
=
5x = 2 x 13
Divide by 5 to isolate x
=
x = 10.2
Answer = 10.2
