Answer:

A diagonal of this rectangle has length 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertices (-4, 4) and (-4, -4) have the same x-coordinate (-4) and different y-coordinates (4 and -4).  These two points are the endpoints of a vertical side of the rectangle which has length 4 - (-4) = 8.

Similarly, the vertices (2, -4) and (-4, -4) have the same y-coordinate (-4) but different x-coordinates (2 and -4).  To find the horizontal dimension of the rectangle, we calculate 2 - (-4), which comes out to 6.

Thus, the width of the rectangle is 6 and the length is 8.

Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we find the length of a diagonal as follows:

d = √(6^2 + 8^2) = √(36 + 64) = √100 = 10.

A diagonal of this rectangle has length 10.

Which algebraic expression shows the average melting points of helium, hydrogen, and neon if h represents the melting point of h
LenKa [72]
Average = mean = sum of the values / number of data

Values = h, j, and k

Number of data = 3

Sum of the values = h + j + k

Mean = [h + j + k] / 3

=> Answer: option c. [h+j+k] over 3
