Distances in 2- and 3-dimensions (and even higher dimensions) can be found using the Pythagorean theorem. The straight-line distance can be considered to be the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose sides are the horizontal and vertical differences between the coordinates.
Here, you have A = (0, 0) and B = (3, 6). The horizontal distance between the points is ...
... 3 - 0 = 3 . . . . the difference of x-coordinates
The vertical distance between the points is ...
... 6 - 0 = 6 . . . . the difference of y-coordinates
Then the straight-line distance (d) between the points is found from the Pythagorean theorem, which tells you ...
... d² = 3² + 6²
... d = √(9 + 36) = √45 ≈ 6.7 . . . units
Suppose that the height (in centimeters) of a candle is a linear function of
the amount of time (in hours) it has been burning.
Let x be the amount of time in hours
Let y be the heoght of a candle in centimeters
The two points are then as (9,24.5) and (23,17.5).
Now plug in x=21, we get
Thus the height of the candle after 21 hours is 18.5 centimeters.

450-375 = 75
75/375 = 0.2
You got a 20% raise.
Proof:
375*.2 = 75
375+75 = 450
He is wrong...
2 1/2 + 3 3/5 = 97/20
Simplified, I believe the answer is 4 17/20
Answer:
3700hours
154days
Step-by-step explanation:
Speed can be defined as the distance cover per time, it can be expressed as
Speed= distance/ time........eqn(1)
Given:
distance between two planets= 4.07×10^¹²
speed of light = 1.1×10^⁹ kilometres per hour
Time= ??
Then substitute the values into equation (1) we have
Speed= distance/ time
1.1×10^⁹ kilometres per hour= 4.07×10^¹²kilometre/ time
Cross multiply, we have
Time= (4.07×10^¹²kilometre) /(1.1×10^⁹ kilometres per hour)
Time= 3700hours.
To convert to day, we know that
60 minute= 1hour
24hour=1day
Time= (3700hour×1day)/24hour
Time= 154days approximately.
Hence, the time taken for light to travel from one of these planets to the other is 154days or 3700hours
