Find the distance between the two points rounding to the nearest tenth (if necessary).
1 answer:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for distance is:
Where (x₁, y) and (x₂, y₂) are the points.
We are given (-6, 6) and (-3, 3). If we match the value and its corresponding variable, we see that:
- x₁= -6
- y₁ = 6
- x₂ = -3
- y₂ = 3
Substitute the values into the formula.
Solve inside the parentheses.
- -3 --6 = -3+6 = 3
- 3-6 = -3
Solve the exponents.
- (3)²= 3*3= 9
- (-3)²= -3*-3 =9
Add.
Round to the nearest tenth. The 4 in the hundredth place tells us to leave the 2 in the tenth place.
The distance between the two points is apprximately <u>4.2</u>

For number 4, we'll need a few facts to answer our question:
- Two supplementary angles add up to 180°, forming a straight angle (the angle formed by a straight line)
- The interior angles of a triangle add up to 180°
Given those, we notice that the one unlabeled angle in the figure shares a line with 156°. In fact, this angle is <em>supplementary</em> to 156°, which means that the two add up to 180°. To find the measure of this mystery angle, we can subtract 156 from 180 to obtain 180 - 156 = 24°.
Now, let's look at the triangle. We already know the measure of one of the angles is 24°, and the other two are x°. What else do we know about the angles of a triangle? From the two facts listed at the beginning, we know their interior angles add up to 180°, so let's use that fact to solve for x.
We have:
, or 
Solving for x:
So, x = 78°.
For question 5, the <em>definition</em> of a pair of parallel lines is a pair of lines which <em>never intersect</em>, so "always" would be the appropriate answer.
