Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf d=\sqrt{170} \ or \  d\approx 13.04}}}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find the length of a segment or the <em>distance</em> between the 2 points. The formula for distance is:

d= \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2

where (x₁ y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are the points. We are given the points ( -5, 4) and (6, -3). If we match the number and the corresponding variable, it is:

  • x₁= -5
  • y₁= 4
  • x₂= 6
  • y₂ = -3

Substitute the values into the formula.

d= \sqrt{(6--5)^2+(-3-4)^2

Solve inside the parentheses.

  • 6--5 (Back to back negative signs become a positive)= 6+5 =11
  • -3-4= -7

d= \sqrt{(11)^2+(-7)^2

Solve the exponents.

  • (11)²= 11*11= 121
  • (-7)²= -7*-7= 49

d= \sqrt {(121)+(49)

Add.

d= \sqrt {170}

d=13.0384048104

Even though it's not specified, we could round to the nearest hundredth to make the answer more concise. The 8 in the thousandth place tells us to round the 3 to a 4 in the hundredth place.

  • 13.03<u>8</u>4048104

d\approx 13.04

The length of the segment is <u>√170</u> or approximately <u>13.04. </u>

A rectangle has length 12 feet and width 8 feet. Every dimension of the rectangle is multiplied by 3/4 to form a similar rectang
kap26 [50]
Let the area of the original rectangle be A₁.

A₁ = (12 ft)(8 feet) = 96 ft²

To determine the area of the reduced triangle, let's compute the new dimensions first.

Length = 12 ft * 3/4 - 9 ft
Width = 8 ft *3/4 = 6 ft

Thus, the area of the new rectangle denoted as A₂ is
A₂ = (9 ft)(6 ft) = 54 ft

The ratio of the areas are:
A₂/A₁ = 54/96 = 9/16
The ratio of the sides are given to be 3/4.
Finally the ratios of the area to side would be:
Ratio = 9/16 ÷ 3/4 = 3/4

Therefore, the ratio of the areas is 3/4 of the ratio of the corresponding sides.
