The distance between 2 points P(a, b) and Q(c,d) is given by the formula:

,
Apply the formula for the points M(6, 16) and Z(-1, 14):

which rounded to the nearest tenth is 7.3 (units)
Answer: 7.3 units
Answer:
Judy = $5/hr
Ben = $4/hr
Step-by-step explanation:
Judy's hours at work - x
Ben's hours at work - y
8x + 10y = 80
9x + 5y = 65
Given these two equations above, we get:
10y = 80 - 8x, which means y = 8 - 0.8x.
Substitute y in the second equation with 8 - 0.8x, so we have:
9x + 5 (8 - 0.8x) = 65
9x + 40 - 4x = 65
5x = 25
x = 5
Come back to the first equation, substitute x:
8*5 + 10y = 80
10y = 80 - 40
y = 4
Answer:
525 x 1,050
A = 551,250 m²
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 'L' be the length parallel to the river and 'S' be the length of each of the other two sides.
The length of the three sides is given by:

The area of the rectangular plot is given by:

The value of 'S' for which the area's derivate is zero, yields the maximum total area:

Solving for 'L':

The largest area enclosed is given by dimension of 525 m x 1,050 and is:
