Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for finding the distance between two points is expressed as shown
D = √(x₂-x₁)²+(y₂-y₁)²
Given the coordinate (17,3) and (17,−5), from the coordinates x₁ = 17, y₁ = 3, x₂ = 17 and y₂ = -5.Substituting the values given into the formula;
D = √(17-17)²+(-5-3)²
D = √0²+(-8)²
D = √64
D = 8
According to the result gotten, it can concluded that Marcia is correct although she didn't use the right expression to calculate her distance. She should have taken the square root of the sum of the square of difference in the coordinates axis according to the formula used.
Answer:
yes it is a right triangle if you look closely at triangle ABC there is a right triangle mark the little square
Answer:
X=2
Step-by-step explanation:
There are two ways you could go about solving this.
You could divide the length of the base (6mm) by 2 and use that to find the area or you could find the area of the whole triangle using 6mm and divide that by 2.
I will use the first method I described:
base = 6/2
base = 3 mm
height = 5.2 mm
area = bh/2
area = (3 * 5.2)/2
area = 7.8 square mm
(don't forget your units)
Using the other method would look like this:
area = bh/2
b = 6
h = 5.2
area = (6 * 5.2)/2
area = 15.6 square mm
area/2 = 7.8 square mm
As you can see either method yields the same result.
Hope this helped.
Cheers and good luck,
Brian
