Find the distance between the two points. (-6, – 7), (0,0)

Mathematics
1 answer:
Elden [556K]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

√85

Step-by-step explanation:

for this, you will probably need to draw a graph. Plot the points, and then you will notice that you can draw a triangle with one side being the x-axis ( go on to (-6,0) then drop down unitll you hit the point (-6;-7)

// use the pythagoream theorem to find the length

the distance of the leg on the x-axis is 6  (calculate 0-(-6))

the distance of the leg that is dropping down is -7 (calculate 0-(-7))

then we have 2 legs and need to find the hypotenuse.

Pythagorean theorem a^2 + b^2 = c^2

substitute :

6^2 + 7^2 = c^2

36+49 = 85

c= √85

What is the length of the shadow cast by a 12-foot lamp post when the angle of elevation of the sun is 60º? (to the nearest tent
elena-s [515]

Answer:

6.9 foot.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Length of lamp post= 12-foot.

           The angle of elevation of the sun is 60°.

∴ The length of Lamp post, which is opposite is 12-foot.

  Now, finding the length of shadow cast by foot lamp.

Length of shadow is adjacent.

∴ We know the formula for Tan\theta= \frac{Opposite}{adjacent}

Next, putting the value in the formula.

⇒ Tan 60° = \frac{12}{adjacent}

Cross multiplying both side and using the value of Tan 60°

∴ Adjacent= \frac{12}{\sqrt{3} } = 6.92 ≅ 6.9 (nearest tenth value)

6.9 is the length of shadow cast by a 12-foot lamp post.

MATH HELP!

You have the correct answer. Nice work. If you need to see the steps, then see below

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First we need to find the midpoint of H and I
The x coordinates of the two points are -4 and 2. They add to -4+2 = -2 and then cut that in half to get -1

Do the same for the y coordinates: 2+4 = 6 which cuts in half to get 3

So the midpoint of H and I is (-1,3). The perpendicular bisector will go through this midpoint

---------------------

Now we must find the slope of segment HI

H = (-4,2) = (x1,y1)
I = (2,4) = (x2,y2)
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (4 - 2)/(2 - (-4))
m = (4 - 2)/(2 + 4)
m = 2/6
m = 1/3
Flip the fraction to get 1/3 ---> 3/1 = 3
Then flip the sign: +3 ----> -3

So the slope of the perpendicular bisector is -3

-----------------------

Use m = -3 which is the slope we found
and (x,y) = (-1,3), which is the midpoint found earlier
to get the following
y = mx+b
3 = -3*(-1)+b
3 = 3+b
3-3 = 3+b-3
0 = b
b = 0

So if m = -3 and b = 0, then y = mx+b turns into y = -3x+0 and it simplifies to y = -3x

So that confirms you have the right answer. I've also used GeoGebra to help confirm the answer (see attached)
