Use absolute value to express the distance between 8 and -5

Mathematics

6 0

Answer:

The distance between points 8 and -5 is 13

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find distance between points 8 and -5

The formula used to find the distance is: Distance=|b-a|

Absolute value is used to get only positive values. i.e |-1|=1 if required.

We are given: b=8 and a=-5

Putting values and finding distance

Distance=|b-a|\\Distance=|8-(-5)|\\Distance=|8+5|\\Dstance=|13|\\Distance=13

So, the distance between points 8 and -5 is 13

A circular plot with a 160 foot diameter is watered by a spray irrigation system. To the nearest square foot, what is the area t
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

A circular plot is watered by a sprinkler that rotates through it. The sprinkler only rotates through a semi-circle, or half of the whole circle.

Area of a circle: A = pi x r^2

r = 160 / 2 = 80

A = pi x 80^2

A = 6400pi / 2 = 3200pi

3200pi = 10053.0965

The area water is approximately 10,053 ft^2.

Hope this helps!! :)

Three rays have a common vertex on a line. Write and solve equations to find the measures of m and n
lukranit [14]

Answer:

n = 90 - 62

n = 28º

m = 180 - (62 + n + 27)

m = 180 - (62 + 28 + 27)

m = 180 - 117

m = 63º

A taxi costs 1.65 for the first mile and 0.85 for each additional mile. Which equation could be solved to find the number x of a
diamong [38]
1.65 + 0.85x= $20
           0.85x=$18.35
                 x=21 10/17 
first you write the equation 
then you have to subtract 1.65 from the equation but you also have to subtract it from 20 
then you divide 0.85 from 0.85x and from the 18.35 left over from subtracting 1.65 from 20 
then you should get x=21 10/17 (simplified) but the decimal form is a ongoing fraction so you can just round it up to the nearest hundredth
