What is the distance between (-2, 4) and (5, 4) on a coordinate grid?

Answer:

7 units

Step-by-step explanation:

(Background info, skip if not interested or needed for you)

The equation for distance on a cartesian plane coordinate system is based off the pythagorean theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a and b being sides of a right triangle, c being the hypotenuse.

When we are solving for distance we are solving for c essentially.

c = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}

Because a and b are side lengths of the right triangle, we need to find a way to find that in terms of coordinates. So here we might say that a is equal to the horizontal distance between the 2 points or Δx, and we would say that b is the vertical distance between the 2 points Δy.

(solutions)

So essentially distance is:

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

Now we just use the values given to us, and sub in the x and y values respectively.

(-2,4) x_1 = -2, y_1 = 4

(5,4)x_2 = 5, y_2 = 4

plug these values in:

d = \sqrt{((5) - (-2))^2+ (4-4)^2 } = \sqrt{(7)^2+ (0)^2 }  = \sqrt{7^2 } = 7

Therefore the distance is 7 units.

I promise I will mark as brainiest my watch was correct at noon, after which it started to lose 17 minutes per hour until 6 hour
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

<h2>10:00 Pm</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Take 17 away from 1:00 = 12:43

Take 17 away from 1:43 = 1:26

Take 17 away from 2:26 = 2:09

Take 17 away from 3:09 = 2:52

There we are: at the time which the watch says now.

Now let's see what the correct time should be:

at 12:43 it is really 1:00

at 1:26 it is really 2:00

at 2:09 it is really 3:00

at 2:52 it is really 4:00

However, it says the watch stopped 6 hours ago meaning that the time should be 10:00 as 4 + 6 = 10.

Answer:

Answer: 1 1/4c or 5/4c

Step-by-step explanation:

c is same thing as 1c

1c + 1/4c

(In simple words: Adding a whole to 1/4.)

1 + 1/4 = 1 1/4 or 5/4

same thing when having c:

1c + 1/4c = 1 1/4c or 5/4 c

Find the value of the variables
salantis [7]
To solve for the values in the variable knowing that the sum of all angles in a triangle add to 180 degrees. Simply use this fact to determine the value of z.

Z = 180 - 115 = 165

Then to solve for x, do the same thing. Add up 51 and 45 and subtract the sum by the 165 degrees.

To solve for y, simply knowing the angle that is present for both 70 and the unknown is 180. Subtract 180 from y.

To actually solve for y add up the value for x and 51 and subtract that amount by 180 degrees.
