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

I need help with this geometry question
MArishka [77]

Answer:

Approximately 7.8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance between any two points, we can use the distance formula:

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

From the graph, we can see that A is (0,0). Let's let this be x₁ and y₁.

B is (-5,6). Let's let this be x₂ and y₂. So, substitute:

d=\sqrt{(-5-0)^2+(6-0)^2}

Simplify:

d=\sqrt{(-5)^2+(6)^2}

Square:

d=\sqrt{25+36}

Add:

d=\sqrt{61}

Take the square root. Use a calculator:

d\approx7.8

So, the distance between them is about 7.8 units.

And we're done!

One of my cats, Apollo, drives a cat car. He used 6/8 of a tank of gas to visit his friends for the weekend, and another 1 half
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

Total gas used = 3/2 of a tank of gas

Step-by-step explanation:

Visit to friend = 6/8 of a tank of gas

Commute to work = 1/2 of a tank of gas

Weekend trip = 1/4 of a tank of gas

Total gas used = Visit to friend + Commute to work + Weekend trip

= 6/8 + 1/2 + 1/4

= 6+4+2/8

= 12/8

= 3/2

Total gas used = 3/2 of a tank of gas

True or False: Point estimation is a form of statistical inference in which, based on the sample data, we estimate the unknown p
storchak [24]

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Point estimation of a population parameter provides an estimate of  a single value calculated from the sample that is likely to be close to its value to the unknown parameter. Itis to be noted that a point estimate will not in general be equal to the population parameter as the random sample used is one of the many possible samples which could be chosen from the population.

For example, in estimation, we may estimate the mean and the variance of a population by computing the mean and the variance of the sample drawn from a population.
