What is 5.316 - 1.942 (show ur work)

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

3.374

Step-by-step explanation:

$\mathrm{Write\:the\:numbers\:one\:under\:the\:other,\:line\:up\:the\:decimal\:points.}$

$\mathrm{Add\:trailing\:zeroes\:so\:the\:numbers\:have\:the\:same\:length.}$

$\begin{matrix}\:\:&5&.&3&1&6\\ -&1&.&9&4&2\end{matrix}$

$\mathrm{Subtract\:each\:column\:of\:digits,\:starting\:from\:the\:right\:and\:working\:left}$

$\mathrm{In\:the\:bolded\:column,\:subtract\:the\:second\:digit\:from\:the\:first}:\quad \:6-2=4$

$\frac{\begin{matrix}\:\:&5&.&3&1&\textbf{6}\\ -&1&.&9&4&\textbf{2}\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\:\:&\:\:&\:\:&\:\:&\:\:&\textbf{4}\end{matrix}}$

$\mathrm{In\:the\:bolded\:column,\:subtract\:the\:second\:digit\:from\:the\:first}$

$\mathrm{The\:bottom\:number\:is\:larger\:than\:the\:upper\:number.\:\:Try\:to\:'borrow'\:a\:digit\:from\:the\:left.}$

$\mathrm{The\:top\:digit\:is\:not\:bigger\:than\:the\:bottom\:one.\:\:Try\:to\:'borrow'\:a\:digit\:from\:the\:left.}$

$\frac{\begin{matrix}\:\:&5&.&\textbf{3}&1&6\\ -&1&.&\textbf{9}&4&2\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\:\:&\:\:&\:\:&\textbf{\:\:}&\:\:&4\end{matrix}}$

$\mathrm{Borrow\:}1\mathrm{\:from\:}5\mathrm{.\:\:The\:remainder\:is\:}4$

$\frac{\begin{matrix}\:\:&\textbf{4}&\:\:&10&\:\:&\:\:\\ \:\:&\textbf{\linethrough{5}}&.&3&1&6\\ -&\textbf{1}&.&9&4&2\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\:\:&\textbf{\:\:}&\:\:&\:\:&\:\:&4\end{matrix}}$

$\mathrm{Add\:}1\mathrm{\:ten\:to\:}3:\quad \:10+3=13$

$\frac{\begin{matrix}\:\:&4&\:\:&\textbf{13}&\:\:&\:\:\\ \:\:&\linethrough{5}&.&\textbf{\linethrough{3}}&1&6\\ -&1&.&\textbf{9}&4&2\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\:\:&\:\:&\:\:&\textbf{\:\:}&\:\:&4\end{matrix}}$

$\mathrm{Borrow\:}1\mathrm{\:from\:}13\mathrm{.\:\:The\:remainder\:is\:}12$

$\mathrm{Add\:}1\mathrm{\:ten\:to\:}1:\quad \:10+1=11$

$\mathrm{In\:the\:bolded\:column,\:subtract\:the\:second\:digit\:from\:the\:first}:\quad \:11-4=7$

$\mathrm{Place\:the\:decimal\:point\:in\:the\:answer\:directly\:below\:the\:decimal\:points\:in\:the\:terms}$

$\frac{\begin{matrix}\:\:&4&\textbf{\:\:}&12&11&\:\:\\ \:\:&\linethrough{5}&\textbf{.}&\linethrough{13}&\linethrough{1}&6\\ -&1&\textbf{.}&9&4&2\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\:\:&\:\:&\textbf{.}&3&7&4\end{matrix}}$

$=3.374$

Hence the correct answer is 3.374

The vertices of ∆ABC are A(2, 8), B(16, 2), and C(6, 2). what is the perimeter and area in square units

ad-work [718]

Check the picture below.

the triangle has that base and that height, recall that A = 1/2 bh.

now as for the perimeter, you can pretty much count the units off the grid for the segment CB, so let's just find the lengths of AC and AB,

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points}\\\\
\begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\
% (a,b)
&A&(~ 2 &,& 8~) 
% (c,d)
&C&(~ 6 &,& 2~)
\end{array}~~~ 
% distance value
d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2}
\\\\\\
AC=\sqrt{(6-2)^2+(2-8)^2}\implies AC=\sqrt{4^2+(-6)^2}
\\\\\\
AC=\sqrt{16+36}\implies AC=\sqrt{52}\implies AC=\sqrt{4\cdot 13}
\\\\\\
AC=\sqrt{2^2\cdot 13}\implies AC=2\sqrt{13}$

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points}\\\\
\begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\
% (a,b)
&A&(~ 2 &,& 8~) 
% (c,d)
&B&(~ 16 &,& 2~)
\end{array}\\\\\\
AB=\sqrt{(16-2)^2+(2-8)^2}\implies AB=\sqrt{14^2+(-6)^2}
\\\\\\
AB=\sqrt{196+36}\implies AB=\sqrt{232}\implies AB=\sqrt{4\cdot 58}
\\\\\\
AB=\sqrt{2^2\cdot 58}\implies AB=2\sqrt{58}$

so, add AC + AB + CB, and that's the perimeter of the triangle.
