Answer:

a = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate AB using the distance formula and equate to 5

d = \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2    }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = A (0, 4 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = B (3, a )

d = \sqrt{(3-0)^2+(a-4)^2}

  = \sqrt{3^2+(a-4)^2}

  = \sqrt{9+(a-4)^2} , then

\sqrt{9+(a-4)^2} = 5 ( square both sides )

9 + (a - 4)² = 5² = 25 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

(a - 4)² = 16 ( take square root of both sides )

a - 4 = 4 ( add 4 to both sides )

a = 8

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

<em>1, 2, 3</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Of the three units, the <em>kilogram</em> is the largest and the <em>milligram</em> is the smallest. The prefix “<em>kilo</em>” means a thousand and “<em>milli</em>” means one-thousandths.

1,000,000mg = 1kg
