The approximate length of line segment XY is 20.8 units

<h3>How to calculate the distance between two points</h3>

The formula for calculating the distance between two points is expressed as:

A = √(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²

Given the coordinate points X(–12, –6) and Y(5, 6). The distance between them is expressed as;

XY = √(5+12)²+(6+6)²

XY = √(17)²+(12)²

XY = √269 + 144

XY = 20.8

Hence the approximate length of line segment XY is 20.8 units

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

The length of the pipe = 17 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

length = 15 feet

width = 8 feet

Pythagorean theorem,

(diagonal)² = (length)² +(width)² {all angles of rectangle are 90°}

= 15² + 8²

= 225 + 64 = 289

diagonal = √289 = √ 17 * 17

= 17 feet

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

3-10-(15) equals 8.

2r2 + 3s3 − r2 + 4t2 − r2 if r = −2, s = −3, and t = 5.

Elza [17]

First, simplify the expression $2r^2 + 3s^3 - r^2 + 4t^2 - r^2.$ Here you have three terms with $r^2,$ group them in the following way:

$2r^2 + 3s^3 - r^2 + 4t^2 - r^2=2r^2-r^2-r^2+3s^3+4t^2=(2r^2-r^2-r^2)+3s^3+4t^2=$

$=r^2(2-1-1)+3s^3+4t^2=3s^3+4t^2.$

Then substitute s=-3 and t=5:

$3s^3+4t^2=3\cdot (-3)^3+4\cdot 5^2=3\cdot (-27)+4\cdot 25=-81+100=19.$

Answer: 19.

You need 3/4 yard of ribbon for one gift box. You have 3 yards of ribbon. How many gift boxes do you have ribbon for

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You take 3/4 + 3/4 and add it. That equals 1.5, so you take 3/4+ 3/4 again and you get 1.5 . So, 1.5+1.5 is 3. So that's how you get your total of 4 boxes.
