Answer:
Derived from the Pythagorean Theorem, the distance formula is used to find the distance between two points in the plane. The Pythagorean Theorem,
a
2
+
b
2
=
c
2
, is based on a right triangle where a and b are the lengths of the legs adjacent to the right angle, and c is the length of the hypotenuse. The relationship of sides
|
x
2
−
x
1
|
and
|
y
2
−
y
1
|
to side d is the same as that of sides a and b to side c. We use the absolute value symbol to indicate that the length is a positive number because the absolute value of any number is positive. (For example,
|
−
3
|
=
3
. ) The symbols
|
x
2
−
x
1
|
and
|
y
2
−
y
1
|
indicate that the lengths of the sides of the triangle are positive. To find the length c, take the square root of both sides of the Pythagorean Theorem.
c

=
a

b

c

It follows that the distance formula is given as
d

=
(
x

x

)

+
(
y

−
y

)

→
d
=
√
(
x

−
x

)
2
+
(
y

−
y

)

We do not have to use the absolute value symbols in this definition because any number squared is positive.
A GENERAL NOTE: THE DISTANCE FORMULA
Given endpoints
(
x

,
y

)
and
(
x

,

)
, the distance between two points is given by
d
=
√

)

Answer:
B. 13
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve this by setting up system of equations:
0.25x + 0.10y = 3.95
x + y = 20
x equals the number of quarters and y equals the number of dimes. 0.25 is the value of a quarter and 0.10 is the value of a dime.
1. Multiply one equation to have the same coefficient as the other
0.10 · (x + y = 20) = 0.10x + 0.10y = 2
2. Subtract to find the value of one variable
0.25x + 0.10y = 3.95
<u>- 0.10x + 0.10y = 2</u>
0.15x = 1.95
3. Solve for x by dividing both sides by 0.15
x = 13
