Answer:

Given a triangle ABC, Pythagoras' Theorem shows that:

c^2=a^2+b^2

Thus,

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

The distance formula, gives an equivalent expression based on two points at the end of the hypotenuse for a triangle.

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

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

Therefore when given the hypotenuse with endpoints at

(x_{1}, y_{1})  and {(x_{2}, y_{2})

We know that the third point of the right triangle will be at

(x_{2}, y_{1})

and that the two side lengths will be defined by the absolute values of:

(x_{2} - x_{1}) = a

(y_{2} - y_{1}) = b

6th grade math<br><br> help on numbers 4 5 6 plz help
mario62 [17]

Answer:

4) 6 students

5) 7 fewer students

6) No, you can not tell from the frequency table how many students ran a mile in exactly 12 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

4) you’d look at the row from 8:00-8:59.

5) Add the first two rows together (6+2=8), then subtract that by the sum of  the last two rows (9+6=15), which is 7

6) There’s no pattern in the frequency table, and the data points would be plotted differently since it’d be from a range of times, not one set time.

Hope this helped, sorry if I’m wrong on #6 ;)
