The distance between 2 points P(a, b) and Q(c,d) is given by the formula:

,
Apply the formula for the points M(6, 16) and Z(-1, 14):

which rounded to the nearest tenth is 7.3 (units)
Answer: 7.3 units
we know that


<u>Part 1) </u>
we know that
side 1=15'-7"
side 2=20'-4"
side 3=26'-2"
To find the total length of three sides sum the three sides
so
total length=side 1+side 2 +side 3
substitute
total length=15'-7"+20'-4"+26'-2"
total length=(15'+20'+26')+(7"+4"+2")
total length=(61')+(13")
remember that
12"=1'
13"=12"+1"=1'+1"
substitute
total length=(61')+(1'+1")
total length=(62')+(1")---------> 62'-1"
therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
the total length of three sides is 62'-1"
A polynomial is the sum of at least one term. For example, x^3+1 is a polynomial. A monomial is a polynomial with only one term, such as 2x^2.
A binomial is a polynomial with two terms, and a trinomial is one with three terms. The example you gave is a trinomial (which is also a polynomial).
Degree of a polynomial is the largest sum of variable powers in any term of the polynomial. So, for example, x^2 y has degree 3, and x^3+x^2 also has degree 3. A sixth degree polynomial would be x^6-2x+1, for example.
