When a point is reflected across a line of reflection, it remains the same distance from the line.True or False

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this question, I will use the following illustrations.

Assume a point (x,y) is reflected across the x-axis.

Using reflection rule, the new point will be: (x,-y)

On a coordinate plane, the x-axis is represented as: (x,0)

So, we will calculate the distance between (x,y) and (x,0) and also calculate the distance between (x,-y) and (x,0) using the following distance formula.

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

Distance between (x,y) and (x,0)

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

D= \sqrt{(x - x)^2 + (0 - y)^2}

D= \sqrt{(0)^2 + (- y)^2}

D= \sqrt{0 + y^2}

D= \sqrt{y^2}

D = y

Distance between (x,-y) and (x,0)

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

D= \sqrt{(x - x)^2 + (0 - (-y))^2}

D= \sqrt{(0)^2 + (0+y)^2}

D= \sqrt{0 + y^2}

D= \sqrt{y^2}

D = y

See that the calculated distance are equal.

<em>Hence, the given statement is true</em>

=) The perimeter of a rectangular field is 336 m.
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

Length of the field: 94 m

Width of the painting: 61 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the perimeter formula, P = 2l + 2w, to find the length:

Plug in the perimeter and width into the equation:

P = 2l + 2w

336 = 2l + 2(74)

336 = 2l + 148

188 = 2l

94 = l

So, the length of the field is 94 m.

To find the width of the painting, use the area formula, A = lw

Plug in the area and length into the equation:

A = lw

5795 = 95w

61 = w

So, the width of the painting is 61 cm.

Length of the field: 94 m

Width of the painting: 61 cm

A team won 9 of its first 12 games. At that rate, how many games will the team win if it plays 64 games in all?
Feliz [49]
9 out of 12 = 9/12 which can be simplified to 3/4.  So the team wins 3/4 of its games.  3/4 of 64 = 64 divided by 4 = 16.  16 x 3 = 48.
