Answer:

231.9ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We would be solving this problem by using the cosine rule.

The length = (pq)² + (qr)² -2 * pq * qr * cos102⁰

= 120² + 175² - 2*120*175 (-0.2079)

= 14400 + 30625 + 8731.8

= 53756.8

Length² = 53756.8

We take the square root of both sides

Length = √53756.8

Length = 231.89 feet

This is the length of the wire that is needed.

Thank you

Colise : 2 vases...each hold 10 red and 5 yellow.....2(15) = 30 roses total.

Michele also has 30 roses. She has 3 vases...each vase has 6 red roses....6 * 3 = 18 red roses. That leaves 30 - 18 = 12 yellow roses. And I am assuming that each vase has the same number of roses.....in that case, 12/3 = 4 yellow roses per vase

Explain how to use the coordinates and absolute value to find the distance between points at (3, –7) and (3, 2).
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

Using the formula for the distance between two points, which is generated using coordinates and absolute value, we find that the distance between these two points is of 9 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance between two points:

Suppose that we have two points, (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2). The distance between them is given by:

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

This formula is generated using coordinates and absolute value.

In this question:

(3,-7) and (3,2). So

D = \sqrt{(3-3)^2+(2-(7))^2} = \sqrt{81} = 9

The distance between these two points is of 9 units.

The general form of a circle is given as x^2 + y^2 + 4x - 12y + 4 = 0.
stepan [7]
If you can rewrite the formula as (x-a)² + (y-b)² = r², the center is at (a,b) and the radius is r.

If you work out this equation, and map it to the original, you will find that the +4x term hints that a = 2 (double product) and -12y hints that b=-6, and r=6.

So, the formula can be written as (x+2)² + (y-6)² = 6² and the center is at (-2,6) and the radius is 6.
