Yes he is correcct because 4/8 and 1/2 is the same thing
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
d= √(5-1)^2+(1-4)^2
d= √4^2+(-3)^2
d= √16+9
d=√25
d=5
I think the answer is G.
I think this because of the fact families (like my elementary teacher used to say)
It’s like about multiplication of fact families so make it where it would have fact families with those numbers as the sums.
I hope this helps! Be safe out there.
Remark
It is not a straight line distance from the park to the mall. None of the answers give you that result. And if you know what displacement is, none of the answers are really displacement either. The distance is sort of a "as the crow flies." distance. There's a stop off in the middle of town.
Method
You need to use the Pythagorean Formula twice -- once from the park to the city Center and once from the city center to the mall.
Distance from the Park to the city center.
a = 3 [distance east]
b = 4 [distance south]
c = ??
c^2 = 3^2 + 4^2 Take the square root of both sides.
c = sqrt(3^2 + 4^2)
c = sqrt(9 + 16) Add
c = sqrt(25)
c = 5
So the distance from the park to the city center is 5 miles
Distance from City center to the mall
a = 2 miles [distance east]
b = 2 miles [distance north]
c = ??
c^2 = a^2 + b^2 Substitute
c^2 = 2^2 + 2^2 Expand this.
c^2 = 4 + 4
c^2 = 8 Take the square root of both sides.
sqrt(c^2) = sqrt(8)
c = sqrt(8) This is the result
c = 2.8
Answer
Total distance = 5 + 2.8 = 7.8
When you are solving an algebraic one-step equation, the goal is to isolate the variable on one side of the equal sign, two-step equations are the same, but with one more step (hence the name)
