Using the Pythagorean theorem:

Hypotenuse = sqrt( 20^2 + 15^2)

Hypotenuse = sqrt( 400 + 225)

Hypotenuse = sqrt(625)

Hypotenuse = 25

Answer: 25 inches

Answer:

25 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

20^2 + 15^2 = c^2

400 +225 = c^2

625=c^2

Taking the square root of each side

sqrt(625) = sqrt(c^2)

25 = c

Answer:

Q' (2,4)

R' (3,1)

S' (5,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

When reflected across x-axis, the x-values stay the same but y-values change signs. Because you count how many points till the reflection line then same amount you have to go to the other side. But since it is saying x-axis, the reflection line is on x=0 so you just change the sign.

Which gives the correct values for points A, B, C, and D?

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

<em>The correct answer is: A</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Points on a Numeric Line</u>

The numeric line shown in the figure has four points A, B, C, and D. It's clear that each marked division of the line has a value of 1/4 units and all four points are below the reference zero, thus all are negative.

Point A is clearly on the -2 mark, thus

A=-2

Point B is one mark above A, thus it's located at:

$B=-2+\frac{1}{4}=-\frac{7}{4}=-1\frac{3}{4}$
