Put the steps in order to find the distance between these

Answers

Answer:

See attached

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between the points is found using the given coordinates and the distance formula.

The distance formula is based on right triangle and Pythagorean theorem and is the calculation of the hypotenuse provided the legs are known.

So the right order of operations is attached for you below.

You have found most of it, just small correction is needed.

Answer:

1., 2., 4., 5., 6., 3., 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Draw a right triangle by dropping a vertical side and a horizontal side. (See attachment).

2. Determine the vertical side (2 units) and horizontal side (6 units) lengths by counting on the grid (be careful of the scale), or using the vertical coordinated (3 to 1) and horizontal coordinate (-2 to 4).

[tex]\boxed{\begin{minipage}{9 cm}\underline{Pythagoras Theorem} \\\\$a^2+b^2=c^2$\\\\where:\\ \phantom{ww}$\bullet$ $a$ and $b$ are the legs of the right triangle. \\ \phantom{ww}$\bullet$ $c$ is the hypotenuse (longest side) of the right triangle.\\\end{minipage}}[/tex]

Therefore:

a = 2b = 6

4. Use the Pythagorean Theorem for right triangles to determine the diagonal length:

[tex]\implies \sf 2^2+6^2=c^2[/tex]

[tex]\sf 5.\quad 4 + 36 = c^2[/tex]

[tex]\sf 6. \quad 40 = c^2[/tex]

[tex]\sf 3.\quad \sqrt{40}=\sqrt{c^2}[/tex]

7.  √40 is between √36 and √49, so between 6 and 7 - closer to 6, so about 6.3 units.

Matilda covers the interior faces of a kitchen drawer with shelf paper. The height of the drawer is 3/4 its width and the depth front to back is 7/4 its width. if the exact amount of shelf paper needed is 846 square inches what is the depth of the drawer? help me I need help

Answers

To know the depth of the drawer you need to know that the shelf paper is the area of the interior faces of the drawer, then:

A = 846sq in

the area is equal to:

[tex]A=A_b+A_l[/tex]

Where:

Ab is the area of the base of the drawer

Al is the area of the laterals of the drawer

The Area of the base is:

[tex]A_b=\frac{7}{4}x\cdot x=\frac{7}{4}x^2[/tex]

And the area of the laterals is the sum of the area of every lateral:

[tex]A_l=2\lbrack(\frac{3}{4}x)\cdot(\frac{7}{4}x)\rbrack+2\lbrack(\frac{3}{4}x)\cdot(x)\rbrack[/tex][tex]A_l=\frac{21}{8}x^2+\frac{3}{2}x^2=\frac{33}{8}x^2[/tex]

Then:

[tex]846=\frac{7}{4}x^2+\frac{33}{8}x^2[/tex][tex]846=\frac{188}{32}x^2=\frac{47}{8}x^2=5.87x^2[/tex]

The we clear the x:

[tex]\frac{846}{5.87}=x^2[/tex][tex]\sqrt[]{144.12}=x[/tex][tex]x=12.004in[/tex]The depth of the drawer is x= 12,004 inches

A=1/2(a+b)h solve for h can you please explain as well?

Answers

h = 2A/(a+b)

Explanation:

A=1/2(a+b)h

To solve for h, we will make h the subject of formula

The first thing we will do is bring the 1/2 to the other side of the equation:

[tex]\begin{gathered} A\text{ = }\frac{(a+b)h}{2}\text{ cross multiply} \\ 2A\text{ = (a+b)h} \end{gathered}[/tex]

To make h stand alone, we would divide both sides by the values in the bracket:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{2A}{(a+b)}\text{ = }\frac{(a+b)h}{(a+b)} \\ h\text{ = }\frac{2A}{a\text{ + b}} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, h = 2A/(a+b)

At the end of the first half of a basketball game, UCONN and SCSU were tied. During the second half UCONN scored 48 points and SCSU scored twice as many points as they had in the first half. What was the final score of UCONN won by 2 points?

Answers

Okay, here we have this:

Let's take the endpoints of UCONN as x and those of SCSU as y. So:

x=y+2

And:

So the UCONN points of the first half are: x/3. And since they were tied SCSU had the same points at the first half.

And those UCONN points of the second half are 2x/3, and the SCSU points at the end were then x/3+48.

So, we obtain that:

y=x/3+48

x=(x/3+48)+2

x=x/3+50

x-x/3=50

2x/3=50

2x=150

x=75

And, replacing in y:

y=75/3+48=25+48=73

Finally we obtain that the final score was: UCONN 75: SCSU 73

Can you solve this ? Solve the x And get Angle 1 :And Angle 2 :Question 17

Answers

SOLUTION

Solve for the value of x using supplementary angles

If the sum of two angles is 180 degrees then they are said to be supplementary angles, which form a linear angle together.

[tex]\begin{gathered} <1=4x-5 \\ <2=x \end{gathered}[/tex]

To solve using the supplementary angle rule

Add the two angles together

[tex]\begin{gathered} <1+<2=180^0 \\ 4x-5+x=180 \\ collect\text{ like terms} \\ 4x+x=180+5 \\ 5x=185 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Divide both side by 5

[tex]\begin{gathered} 5x=185 \\ \frac{5x}{5}=\frac{185}{5} \\ x=37 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence the value of x = 37 degree

The measure of Angle 1 = <1 = 4x-5 = 4(37) - 5 = 143 degree

The measure of Angle 2 = <2 = x = 37 degree

The subject of the formula is [tex]\pi r = {r(R^{2}- r^{2})}[/tex]

then to find r in terms of the other values divide both the sides by the multiplier of r.

r is multiplied by πr²

Now divide both sides by V

[tex]\frac{V}{\pi r } = \frac{\pi r(R^{2}- r^{2})}{\pi r}[/tex]
