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.

The perimeter of the triangle at right is 52 units. Write and solve an equation based on the information in the diagram. Use you
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

  • equation: (7x-4) +19 +(10x+3) = 52
  • x = 2
  • red: 10
  • blue: 19
  • yellow: 23

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is based on the relation that the perimeter is equal to the sum of the side lengths.

  P = red + blue + yellow

  52 = (7x -4) +(19) +(10x +3)

  52 = 17x +18 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify

  34 = 17x . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 18

  2 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 17

__

  red = 7(2) -4 = 10

  blue = 19

  yellow = 10(2) +3 = 23
