Answer:

Sample Response: The segment is vertical because the x-coordinates are the same. To find the distance, you can count the spaces between the points. The segment is 6 units long.

Answer:

The segment is 6 units long.

Step-by-step explanation:

The points (–2, 4) and (–2, –2) are vertices of a heptagon. We have to explain how to find the length of the segment formed by these endpoints.

If two points at the ends of a straight line PQ are P(x_{1},y_{1}) and Q(x_{2},y_{2}), then the length of the segment PQ will be given by the formula  

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

Now, in our case the two points are (-2,4) and (-2,-2) and the length of the segment will be  

\sqrt{(- 2 - (- 2))^{2} + (4 - (- 2))^{2}} = 6 units. (Answer)

Angela and Neil are going to the movies. They each bought a medium popcorn, and Neil got a small soft drink. Angela had a $5 gif
bagirrra123 [75]
Let us assume the cost of a soft drink = x dollars
Value of the gift certificate that Angela had = $5
Cost of the movie ticket = $10
Cost of a medium popcorn = $5.50
Then
27.90 + 5 = 2(10) + 2(5.50) + x
32.90 = 20 + 11 + x
32.90 = 31 + x
x = 1.90 dollars

From the above deduction, it can be easily concluded that the correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the first option or $1.90.

Find the dimensions of a deck which will have railings on only three sides. There is 28 m of railing available and the deck must
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

The largest possible area of the deck is 87.11 m² with dimensions;

Width = 9.33 m

Breadth = 9.33 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a given dimension increases as the dimension covers more equidistant dimension from the center, which gives the quadrilateral with largest dimension being that of a square

Given that the railings will be placed on three sides only and the third side will cornered or left open, such that the given length of railing can be shared into three rather than four to increase the area

The length of the given railing = 28 m

The sides of the formed square area by sharing the railing into three while the fourth side is left open are then equal to 28/3 each

The area of a square of side s = s²

The largest possible area of the deck = (28/3)² = 784/9 = 87.11 m² with dimensions;

Width = 28/3 m = 9.33 m

Breadth = 28/3 m = 9.33 m.

What is the constant of variation, k, of the direct variation, y = kx, through (5, 8)? k = – k equals negative StartFraction 8 O
Reil [10]

The value of constant of variation "k" is k = \frac{8}{5} \text{ or } 1.6

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that the direct variation is:

y = kx ----- eqn 1

Where "k" is the constant of variation

Given that the point is (5, 8)

<em><u>To find the value of "k" , substitute (x, y) = (5, 8) in eqn 1</u></em>

8 = k \times 5\\\\k = \frac{8}{5}\\\\k = 1.6

Thus the value of constant of variation "k" is k = \frac{8}{5} \text{ or } 1.6

Use Pythagorean identities to prove whether ΔLMN is a right, acute, or obtuse triangle. Show all work for full credit.
liq [111]
Using Pythagorean identities:
 
If the sum of the height and base squared is greater than the hypotenuse squared, it would be an acute triangle.

If the sum of the height and base squared is less than the hypotenuse squared, it would be an obtuse triangle.

If the sum of the height and base squared is equal to the hypotenuse squared, it would be a right triangle.

The height = 10
The base = 24

10^2 + 24^2 = 100 + 576 = 676

The hypotenuse = 27 = 27^2 = 729

Because the sum of the height and base squared (676) is smaller than the hypotenuse squared (729) the triangle  is an obtuse triangle.
