As we move from point Z to point Y, x increases by 8 and y increases by 3.  Thus the length of line segment ZY is sqrt(8^2 + 3^2) = sqrt(73), by the Pythagorean Theorem.  That's approx. 8.54.

You could also leave your answer in the form √(8^2 + 3^2).

Answer:


Option 2:   YZ = \sqrt{(3)^{2}+(8)^{2} }


Step-by-step explanation:

We can see that XYZ is forming right angled triangle in the given figure

where XY is Perpendicular.

XZ is Base.

YZ is Hypotenuse .

Length of XY is 3 units (refer figure)

Length of XZ is 8 units (refer figure)

Now to calculate length of ZY we will use Pythagoras theorem i.e.


(Hypotenuse)^{2} = (Perpendicular)^{2} +(Base)^{2}


By applying this theorem :


(YZ)^{2} = (XY)^{2} +(XZ)^{2}


(YZ)^{2} = (3)^{2} +(8)^{2}


⇒YZ = \sqrt{(3)^{2}+(8)^{2} }


Thus Option 2 is the correct expression to determine length of ZY i.e.YZ = \sqrt{(3)^{2}+(8)^{2} }

-2(x - 8) + 4x = -12
Deffense [45]

Answer:

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

4 x - 2 (x - 8) = -12

-2 (x - 8) = 16 - 2 x:

4 x + 16 - 2 x = -12

4 x - 2 x = 2 x:

2 x + 16 = -12

Subtract 16 from both sides:

2 x + (16 - 16) = -16 - 12

16 - 16 = 0:

2 x = -16 - 12

-16 - 12 = -28:

2 x = -28

Divide both sides of 2 x = -28 by 2:

(2 x)/2 = (-28)/2

2/2 = 1:

x = (-28)/2

The gcd of -28 and 2 is 2, so (-28)/2 = (2 (-14))/(2×1) = 2/2×-14 = -14:

Answer:  x = -14

George wrote an integer. The opposite of George's integer is - 53. Which of these statements about George's integer must be true
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

D I and IV

Step-by-step explanation:

The opposite of an integer "x" is "-x".

I. The integer is 53.  →  Since the opposite of George's integer is -53, the integer is -(-53) = 53

II. The integer has an absolute value of - 53.  →  The absolute value of 53 is 53.

III. The integer is - 53.  →  It was 53, found in I.

IV. The integer has an absolute value of 53.  →  It has an absolute value of 53, found in II.

Answer: 1.64     2.100

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason for this is squaring something is simply mulyiplying the number by itself. for example

8 squared

there is a 2 above the 8 which means we will do 8x8.

8x8= 64

Hope this helps!!!!
