Answer:

d = 2√29 units

Step-by-step explanation:

M(-3, 1)and N(7, -3)

To find the distance between these two points, we want to use the distance formula: d = √[(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²]

Plug in the values.

d = √[(7 - (-3))² + (-3 - 1)²]

Simplify the parentheses.

d = √[(7 + 3)² + (-4)²]

d = √[(10)² + (-4)²]

Simplify the exponents

d = √[(100 + 16)]

Simplify the parentheses by adding.

d = √[116]

Simplify the brackets with the square root.

Since 116 is not a perfect square, we need to find two numbers that multiply to 116. One number must be a perfect square. The other must be a prime number.
4 • 29 = 116. Therefore √4 • √29 = √116
√4 = 2. Therefore 2√29 = √116

d = 2√29 units

Hope this helps!

Sarah inherited a sum of 1,539 dollars with an interest rate of 1% per year what is the accrued value after 5 years, 10 years, a

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Use formula

$I=P\cdot r\cdot t,$

where

I = interest,

P = principal,

r = rate (as decimal),

t = time

In your case,

$P=\$1,539\\ \\r=0.01$

If $t_1=5$ years, then

$I_1=1,539\cdot 0.01\cdot 5=76.95$ and the whole sum is $\$1,539+\$76.95=\$1,615.95$

If $t_2=10$ years, then

$I_2=1,539\cdot 0.01\cdot 10=153.9$ and the whole sum is $\$1,539+\$153.9=\$1,692.9$

If $t_3=15$ years, then

$I_3=1,539\cdot 0.01\cdot 15=230.85$ and the whole sum is $\$1,539+\$230.85=\$1,769.85$

Find the measure of each exterior angle of a regular 56-gon.

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

The answer is 6 degree.

Step by step process

The formula for calculating the measure of each exterior angle of a polygon is (360/n).

The number of sides of 56-gon(n) = 56.

So, each exterior angle
= (360/56)
= 6.43 or
6(approximately)
