Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
From C-A, it goes from y=1 to y=5, so that 4 units
From A-B, it goes from x = -1 to x = 4, that is 5 units
Now, to find distance from B to C, we need to use the distance formula:
Where the variables are the respective points of B and C,
B (4,5) & C(-1,1)
So x_1 =4, y_1=5, x_2=-1, y_2=1
Plugging into the formula we get:
Summing it all (perimeter is sum of 3 sides):
Distance =
3rd answer choice is right.
(a) Animals by popularity; Dogs, Cats, Others, Horses.
(b) If 250 students were interviewed, 20 students have other pets.
(c) No, it was incorrect.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1; We arrange the different pets in chronological order, from the highest percent to the lowest percent;
1. Dogs - 67%,
2. Cats - 20%
3. Others - 8%,
4. Horses - 1%.
None is not included in this list.
Step 2; If 250 students were interviewed, 8% of those have other pets. So we need to calculate how much 8% of 250 is.
8% of 250 = × 250 = 0.08 × 250 = 20.
So 20 students had other pets.
Step 3; 20% of the interviewed students had cats. If 75 students had cats, we need to equate 20% to the 75 and find out how many students were actually interviewed.
20% × x = 75, 0.2 × x = 75,
x = = 375.
So if 375 students were interviewed, 75 students would have cats. So the estimate of 250 students being interviewed is incorrect.
