take a look at this and then post again if you still have questions.

Answer 4

Okay. Will do.

Answer 6

?

Answer 7

Answer 10

Named? and how do you know me?

Answer 11

My name is Jay Seaton, and we probably don't live in the same state. I don't exactly KNOW you but I'm taking the same Math Unit test as you, so I assumed that you also go to connections xD

Answer 12

Oh I do. Any Help Please! I dont understand.

Answer 13

still need help Kenziellove?

Answer 14

Me either, but I have gotten pretty far on the test thing. I don't have this one yet but is there another you need help with?

Answer 15

a bunch frost. and yes i do need help.

Answer 16

did you get the mid point one? with the graph?

Answer 17

You mean #12? Yes I got that one it was : (1, 1)/ B

Answer 18

what about 13?? lol

Answer 19

determine the distance between points D (1, 4) and E (3, -2). using the distance formula...\[d = \sqrt{(1-3)^{2} - (3-(-2))^{2}}\]

Answer 20

I haven't got 13 yet D:

Answer 21

hmmmm me either :(

Answer 22

Did you get 10?

Answer 23

i got the coordinates wrong. sorry

Answer 24

its okay pg.

Answer 25

so far i dont have 9, 10, 7, and 11 @Frost

Answer 26

and that should be a '+' sign in the radical...

Answer 27

so @pg. calc what would the final answer be?

Answer 28

#9 is 15.8/ A

Answer 29

#7 is B/ 5in , 10in, 15in

Answer 30

what about 10? and frost your saving my life here!

Answer 31

i have messed this up pretty bad by trying to 'show' you how to do it. so one minute.

Answer 32

otayyyyy

Answer 33

lol I didn't get #10 yet, but I have #11 now; it's C/ (2.5,2)

Answer 34

okayyyyyyy but do you have any others?

Answer 35

@Frost what state?

Answer 36

distance from D to E = \[\sqrt{40}\] distance from E to C = \[\sqrt{45}\] and the distance from C to D is \[5\] add these up for the perimeter.

Answer 37

Georgia xd

Answer 38

whats the schools name?

Answer 39

GACA (Georgia Connections Academy or something like that lol)

Answer 40

and pg.calc so it would be "18"?

Answer 41

cool so the answer for #10 is B./18.0

thanks pg.calc

Answer 42

you are welcome. good luck. 18.03 or so.

Answer 43

okay @pg.calc what about this what is the porportion and value of x?

Answer 44

@pg.calc hellooooooooooooooooooooo?

Answer 45

one second

Answer 46

i have no idea how to do that xD

Answer 47

okayyyyy

Answer 48

Kenzie did you take crct already?

Answer 49

or whatever the final exams/tests are called in your state xD

Answer 50

no i didnt

Answer 51

while there may be a more sophisticate method, I would start by determining the distance from PZ

Answer 52

im clueless when it comes to this so huh?

Answer 53

and the proportion of \[x\] to what?

Answer 54

to this whole question!

Answer 55

use the Pythagorean theorem... \[a ^{2} + b ^{2} = c ^{2}\]

Answer 56

and thenn?

Answer 57

\[c ^{2} = 10^{2}, a ^{2} = 6^{2}\] so...\[b ^{2} = \sqrt{100 - 36}\]

Answer 58

so its 6?

Answer 59

@Frost did you get any more questions?

Answer 60

i would probably say it is 8

Answer 61

okay is that the final answer?

Answer 62

that really doesn't help much. sorry I am at work and am constantly being distracted.

Answer 63

use cos to determine the angle ZMP

Answer 64

the angle ZMP is \[\cos^{-1} 6/10 = 53.13\]

Answer 65

nvrmnd. it is easier than I am making it.

Answer 66

the ratio of the sides are going to be

where the '?' is going to be equal to (10 + x)
