Answer:

<em>Riko is wrong because she uses the wrong formula.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the coordinate points (-2, -3) and (2, -5)

We are to find the distance between the two points

Using the formula:

D = √(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²

From the coordinates x1 = -2, y1 = -3, x2 = 2 and y2 = -5

Substitute

D = √(2-(-2))²+(-5-(-3))²

D= √(4)²+(-2)²

D = √16 + 4

D = √20

D = √4*√5

D = 2√5

<em>This shows that Riko is wrong because she uses the wrong formula.</em>

Answer:Sample Response: No, Riko is not correct. The points do not have the same x-coordinates. If you connect the points, they do not form a horizontal or vertical line, so you cannot count spaces or use absolute value to find the distance.

A supermarket reduced the price per pound whole chicken by 20%. How many pounds of chicken can now be purchased for the amount o
nignag [31]

Answer:

25 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that initially, 1 pound of whole chicken costs x.

So, initially 20 pounds of whole chicken costs 20x.

Now, the price is reduced by 20%.

That means that 1 pound of whole chicken now costs  x[1-\frac{20}{100} ]=0.8x

Therefore, with a 0.8x amount of money, we can now purchase 1 pound of the whole chicken.  

Hence, with a 20x amount of money, we can now purchase \frac{20x}{0.8x}=25 pounds of the whole chicken.

What's is the converse of the statement?If x is odd, then 2x is even.
dsp73
If you have two statements p and q and p\Rightarrow q is true, then  \neg q\Rightarrow \neg p is also true.

In your case, statements are p - "x is odd" and q -  "2x is even".

 Then \neg p - "x is not odd" and \neg q - "2x is not even."


Hence \neg q\Rightarrow \neg p sounds as: "If 2x is not even, then x is not odd".
Answer: correct choice is D.

An angle, θ, is in standard position. The terminal side of the angle passes through the point (4, 5).
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

cos Θ = \frac{4}{\sqrt{41} }

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the angle passes through (4, 5 ) then the right triangle with sides 4 and 5 has hypotenuse h given by

h² = 4² + 5² = 16 + 25 = 41 ( take the square root of both sides )

h = \sqrt{41}

In relation to Θ, 4 is adjacent and 5 is opposite, thus

cos Θ = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse} = \frac{4}{\sqrt{41} }
