Answer:

D.√85

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the distance between two points using the distance between two points formula

Distance between two points formula:

d = √(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²

Where the x and y values are derived from the given points

We are given the two points (-2,7) and (7,9)

Using these points let's define the variables ( variables are x1, x2, y1, and y2)

Remember points are written as follows (x,y)

The x value of the first point is -2 so x1 = -2

The x value of the second point is 7 so x2 = 7

The y value of the first point is 7 so y1 = 7

The y value of the second point is 9 so y2 = 9

Now that we have defined each variable let's find the distance between the two points

We can do this by substituting the values into the formula

Formula: d = √(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²

Variables: x1 = -2, x2 = 7, y1 = 7, y2 = 9

Substitute values in formula

d = √(7 - (-2))² + (9 - 7)²

Evaluation:

The two negative signs cancel out on 7-(-2) and it changes to +7

d = √ (7+2)² + (9-7)²

Add 7+2 and subtract 9 and 7

d = √ (9)² + (2)²

Simplify exponents 9² = 81 and 2² = 4

We then have d = √ 81 + 4

Finally we add 81 and 4

We get that the distance between the two points is √85

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

Part A

x is 46°

Part B

Alternate angles are angles that are in relatively opposite locations relative to a transversal

Please see attached diagram showing alternate angles

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

∠DRP = 110° (Given)

∠QPA = 64° (Given)

∠QPR =

Given that AB is parallel to CD, we have;

∠DRP is congruent to ∠APR (Alternate angles to a transversal RP of parallel lines AB and CD)

Therefore, ∠APR = 115°

∠APR = ∠QPA + ∠QPR (Angle addition postulate)

∴ 115° = 64° + ∠QPR

∠QPR = 110° - 64° = 46°

x = 46°

Part B.

Given that AB is parallel to CD, the lines common (that intersects) both lines are the transversal lines

The angles formed between the parallel lines and the transversal lines have special relationships based on their position with respect to each other

In the question, the angle 110° given between CD and the transversal RP, is found to at an alternate position to the angle ∠APR between the same transversal RP and AB and given that alternate angles are always equal, angle ∠APR is therefore also equal to 110°.
