Answer:

C 8.9

Step-by-step explanation:

all these lines (from the same point of origin, cutting into and through a circle, ending at the far end of the circle they are cutting into) have the same relation of their lengths :

a×(a+b) is the same for all these lines.

with a being the first segment from the point of origin to touching the outside of the circle, and b being the length of the line inside the circle.

so,

4×(4+16) = 8×(8+2) = 80

this is correct for these two lines.

now, the line with the length x is a special case, as it does not really go through a circle, it only touches them.

but the length relation applies also to this line. it is just that the length inside the circle is 0.

so,

x×(x+0) = 80 (the same value as for the other lines)

must be true here too.

x² = 80

x = sqrt(80) ≈ 8.9

Answer:

(-1, 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint of a line segment is effectively the point that lies halfway between two pairs of coordinates on a line. The coordinates we're concerned with here are (-4, 10) and (2, 2). So first think about what is halfway between -4 and 2 (or you can add -4 and 2 then divide by 2) and do the same with 10 and 2. This will give you (-1, 6).

The figure below is a square. Find the length of side x in simplest radical form with a rational denominator.

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

$\frac{\sqrt{10}}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonal forms two 45-45-90 triangles, with the diagonal being the hypotenuse of both. The Pythagorean Theorem states that $a^2+b^2=c^2$ , where $c$ is the hypotenuse of the triangle, and $a$ and $b$ are the two legs of the triangle.

From the Isosceles Base Theorem, the two legs of a 45-45-90 triangle are always equal. Since we're given a diagonal of $\sqrt{5}$ , we have:

$x^2+x^2=\sqrt{5}^2,\\2x^2=5,\\x^2=\frac{5}{2},\\x=\sqrt{\frac{5}{2}}=\frac{\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{2}}\cdot \frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}}=\boxed{\frac{\sqrt{10}}{2}}$

Why is the distributive property appropriate for two-digit multiplication?

Rina8888 [55]

Here's an example:

$25\times93=(20+5)\times(90+3)$
$25\times93=20\times(90+3)+5\times(90+3)$
$25\times93=20\times90+20\times3+5\times90+5\times3$
$25\times93=1800+60+450+15$
$25\times93=2325$
