Find the distance between the origin and the points (-8,4)​

Hi, I'm happy to help!

To solve this, we need to find the distance from the origin to the y coordinate value, x coordinate value, then use the Pythagorean Theorem.

The origin of a graph (center) has the coordinates (0,0), so this will be our other coordinates.

First, let's find the x coordinate distance change. We move from the x coordinate 0, to the x coordinate -8, <u>so we move 8 x units.</u>

Next, let's find the y coordinate distance change. We move from the y coordinate 0, to the y coordinate 4, <u>so we move 4 y units.</u>

Now that we have these two leg lengths, let's imagine this as a right triangle. Moving from the origin, we draw a line from (0,0), to (-8,0). Then, we draw a line from (-8,0) to (-8,4). Now, draw a direct line from (0,0), to (-8,4). We have the length of the first(8) and second(4) lines, and we need to find the third line length to find our answer. To do this, we use the Pythagorean Theorem, which states that a²+b²=c². This says that, in a right triangle, the square of the two shorter lengths equals the square of the longest length. The longest length is what we are solving for.

Let's say x distance is a, and y distance is b. Now, apply the values:

8²+4²=c²

64+16=c²

80=c²

Now, we need to find the value of c, so we need to find the square root of 80.

√80=c

8.9442...=c

Since the number goes on forever, we need to round it. For this example, let's round it to the nearest tenth, which would be 8.9.

<u>To summarize the distance between the origin and the coordinates (-8,4), is about 8.9.</u>

I hope this was helpful, keep learning! :D

4x+13x=119 what does x=?<br> x=7
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

4x + 13x = 119 ( collect like terms on left side )

17x = 119 ( divide both sides by 17 )

x = 7

The product of 6 and the quantity 9 more then the number x is 253​
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

6(x+9)=253

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The algebraic expression of the phrase"The product of 6 and the quantity 9 more then the number x is 253" is equal to the number 6 multiplied by the sum of x and 9 and this result is equal to 253

so

6(x+9)=253

solve for x

6x+54=253

6x=253-54

6x=199

x=199/6

A Pringles chip can has a diameter of about 2.8 inches and a height of about 11.8 inches (close to real measurement) what volume
NARA [144]

Answer:

72.66 in³

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cylinder of radius r and height h is given by V = πr²h.

Here we have  V = πr²h = π([2.8]/2 in)²(11.8 in) = π(1.96 in²)(11.8 in) = 23.1 π in³, or approximately 72.66 in³
