A) 17 miles because using Pythagorean theory we know that a squared + b squared = c squared

Answer:

D) 40 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

First we must find the distance between the mall and the house.  The figure formed is a right triangle.  The length of the side from the mall to the house forms the hypotenuse of the triangle.  We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length:

a² + b² = c²

The two legs of the triangle, a and b, are 15 and 8:

15² + 8² = c²

225 + 64 = c²

289 = c²

Take the square root of each side:

√289 = √(c²)

17 = c

This makes the total distance

15+8+17= 40 miles

What would be the coordinates of triangle A'B'C' if triangle ABC was dilated by a factor of
notsponge [240]

Answer:

A(0,0)\rightarrow A'(0,0) \\ B(2,0)\rightarrow B'(\frac{2}{3},0) \\ C(0,2)\rightarrow C'(0,\frac{2}{3})

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is as following:

The verticies of a triangle on the coordinate plane are

A(0, 0), B(2, 0) and C(0, 2).

What would be the coordinates of triangle A'B'C' if triangle ABC was dilated by a factor of 1/3 ?

=============================================

Given: the vertices of a triangle ABC are A(0, 0), B(2, 0) and C(0, 2).

IF the triangle is dilated by a factor of k about the origin, then

(x,y) → (kx , ky)

that triangle ABC was dilated by a factor of 1/3 to create the triangle A'B'C'.

It is given that triangle ABC was dilated by a factor of 1/3 to create the triangle A'B'C'.

If a figure dilated by a factor of 1/3 about the origin

So, (x,y)\rightarrow (\frac{1}{3}x,\frac{1}{3}y)

<u>So, The coordinates of the triangle A'B'C' are:</u>

A(0,0)\rightarrow A'(0,0) \\ B(2,0)\rightarrow B'(\frac{2}{3},0) \\ C(0,2)\rightarrow C'(0,\frac{2}{3})

Which is the focus of a parabola with equation y2 = 4x?
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

(1, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Please write this as y^2 = 4x; the " ^ " indicates exponentiation.

The appropriate equation for a horizontal parabola that opens to the right is

y^2 = 4px

Here, we are told that  y^2 = 4x; this tells us that 4p = 4, and so p = 1.  

Again, this parabola is a horizontal one and it opens to the right.  p = 1 is the distance of the focus from the vertex, and in this case p = 1.  Thus, the focus is at (1, 0) (situated on the x-axis).

Jasmine’s race time was 34.287 minutes.round her race time to the nearest 10th of a minute
amm1812
Hi!

34.287 rounded to the nearest tenth is 34.290

This is because 7 is greater than 5, so we would round it to the cloest tenth that is slightly higher than 7. =)
