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

Right trapezoid WXYZ is shown. Right trapezoid W X Y Z is shown. Sides X Y and W Z are parallel. Angle W is 73 degrees and angle

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

∠WXY = 107°

Step-by-step explanation:

In a trapezoid, adjacent angles are supplementary, meaning they add up to 180°. ∠W and ∠WXY are adjacent, so they are supplementary. 180° - 73° = 107°.

Another way to do this is to know that there are 360° in a trapezoid. This is a right trapezoid, so two of the angles are 90°. One angle is 73°. 90° + 90° + 73° = 253°. 360° - 253° = 107°.

I hope this helps :))

I need help on solving these types of geometry problems! Teacher said the answer is 7 but I have to show work. Thank you!

The vertex where the two triangles touch forms a pair of vertical angles, so that the angles on opposites sides of the vertex are congruent. You're shown that two legs of both triangles are congruent. All this tells you that the two triangles are isosceles, and furthermore that they are similar because of the congruence of their "base" angles.

This means

$82^\circ=m\angle 2$
