<h3>Answer:  29 goes in the box</h3>

===============================================

Explanation:

The two endpoints are (-3,1) and (-1,-4)

Apply the distance formula

d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-3-(-1))^2 + (1-(-4))^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-3+1)^2 + (1+4)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-2)^2 + (5)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{4 + 25}\\\\d = \sqrt{29}\\\\d \approx 5.3851648\\\\

So the approximate distance is roughly 5.38 units and the exact distance is \sqrt{29} units.

--------------

As a slight alternative, you can plot the point (-3,-4) and draw a right triangle. Then apply the pythagorean theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse. The vertical and horizontal legs are 5 and 2 units respectively.

It turns out that the distance formula is essentially a modified form of the pythagorean theorem.

9\sqrt{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a 30-60-90 triangle.

It's good to remember this. The side length opposite to the 60 degree angle is always the base multiplied by \sqrt{3}

find the perimeter of an isosceles triangle with side lengths of 5+x, 5+x, and xy. Write in simplest form.
Zinaida [17]
<h3>Answer: perimeter = 10+2x+xy</h3>

To get the perimeter, you add up all the outer sides

side1+side2+side3 = (5+x)+(5+x)+(xy) = 10+2x+xy

The like terms 5 and 5 add to 10. The other pair of like terms x and x add to 2x. There isn't anything to pair with xy, so we leave it as is.
