Given:
The two points on the graph.
To find:
The distance between the two points in simplest radical form.
Solution:
From the given graph, it is clear that the two points on the graph are (-9,3) and (-3,-2).
Distance formula:
Using the distance formula, the distance between two points (-9,3) and (-3,-2) is:
On further simplification, we get
Therefore, the distance between the given points is units.
We have been given that Susan has a 12-inch board for constructing a wooden chair.The directions say to use a board that is 29 centimeters long. We are asked to determine if Susan's board is long enough to cut or not.
We know that 1 inch is equal to 2.54 cm.
Let us convert 12 inches into cm by multiplying 12 by 2.54.
Since 12 inches is equal to 30.48 centimeters and 30.48 is greater than 29, therefore, Susan's board in long enough to cut.
