When you use the distance formula, you are calculating the length of the (fill in blank) of a right triangle

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

We are calculating the Hypotenuse of a right triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance Formula: When working on a coordinate plane, you can always find the distance between two points (or the length of a line segment) by creating a right triangle and using the Pythagorean Theorem. Draw a right triangle such that the distance between the two points is the hypotenuse.

Hence, When you use the distance formula, you are calculating the length of the Hypotenuse of a right triangle.

We could also see from the figure attached.

Answer 2

Answer: generally, if you have to use the distance formula, you are finding the hypotenuse.

Ben bought 1/2 pound if cheese for 3 sandwiches. If he puts the same amount of cheese on each sandwich, how much cheese will each sandwich have?

Answers

Given:
1/2 pound of cheese
3 sandwiches

To need to divide the 1/2 pound of cheese by 3 sandwiches to get the equal amount of cheese each sandwich must have.

1/2 ÷ 3 = 1/2 * 1/3 = 1/6 pound per cheese

Each sandwich contains 1/6 pound of cheese from the 1/2 pound of cheese available.

Diagram shows a section of a bridge between the points A and K. The length of line segment is 640 meters. ∆ABC, ∆CDF, and ∆FJK are similar, and 2AC = CF = 2FK. The first pillar, , is 20 meters tall.The area of ∆CDF is square meters.

Answers

AK = 640
Δ ABC and ΔFJK are similar. They are small triangles.
ΔCDF is the big triangle.

640 / 2 = 320 m= CF
AC & FK= 320/2 = 160 m each

2AC = CF = 2FK
2(160) = 320 = 2(160)

BG = 20 m

20/160 = x / 320
20*320 = 160x
6400 = 160x
6400/160 = x
40 = x

Area of CDF = (40 m * 320 m)/2 = 12,800 / 2= 6,400 m²

6,400 meters squared on plato. Just took the test and it is correct.
