Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance formula is useful.

d = √((x2 -x1)^2 +(y2 -y1)^2)

d = √((7 -1)^2 +(12 -4)^2) = √(6^2 +8^2) = √(36 +64) = √100

d = 10

The distance between P and Q is 10.

You may recognize the run : rise ratio of 6 : 8 = 3 : 4. This suggests a 3-4-5 right triangle with a scale factor of 2. If you're familiar with that Pythagorean triple, you can write down the answer as soon as you see the rise and run numbers.

What is the answer to<br> 56 is 28% of

klio [65]

In mathematics, 'is' would be the equal sign. And 'of' would be the multiplcation sign. The missing number would be any variable.

56 is 28% of a number would be translated algebraically to:

$56 = \frac{28}{100} \times x$

Solving for x, we get:

$56 = \frac{28}{100} \times x$

Divide 28 on both sides

$2 = \frac{x}{100}$

Multiply 100 on both sides

$x = 200$

56 is 28% of 200
