Help. Thanks. http://fotos.fotoflexer.com/e35202bc5d3c01a65b83e6b92ecb48e4.jpg You should be able to see it. Thanks:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

both. its 11 problems

OpenStudy (anonymous):

help with whatever

OpenStudy (anonymous):

any help is appreciated

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they all use the distance formula, which is pythagoras

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can u do the first as demonstration ill try the others?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

page B number 1 i will do if i can read it properly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tnx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you have two points labelled A and B and no numbers to go with them so lets count

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mm,ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to get from A to B you go 7 units right, and 2 units down at least that is what i see

OpenStudy (anonymous):

uh huh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let me verify

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1351133689882:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

brb,counting

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did you get seven again?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we want \(d\) which is the hypotenuse of the right triangle with one side 7 and one side 2 by pythagoras, we get \[d^2=7^2+2^2\] \[d=\sqrt{7^2+2^2}=\sqrt{49+4}=\sqrt{53}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i counted how many steps i had to go the the right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did you count a or b?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i just counted them, i did not compute anything at all just went "one, two, three, four, five, six, seven"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so we aare solving for the hypotnuese

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, so sq rt 53 is about 7.2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes in each case that is the basis for the distance formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like for number 3 on the same page, from A to B is 4 steps right, 4 steps up distance is \[d-\sqrt{4^2+4^2}=\sqrt{16+16}=\sqrt{32}\]
