@mvrc1996 are you there? still need help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes:D but on a different one now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Find the distance CC'

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what i got to was sqrt29 but thats not it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you know how to find BB' just do the same with CC'

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, tell me how to find C' by the transformation T?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(3+2)^2+ (0-2)^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5^2+(-2)^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

25+4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sqrt29

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why do you square them? the transformation T tells us that x---> x+2 and y ---> y+1 only, not square

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because when using the distance formula which is what you se to find them you square them

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the way the answer tells me to do it its squared idk how to explain that to you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh no!! you first find out the coordinate of C' , from C ( -2 ,2) you have C' (0, 3) , right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and then from that, apply the distance formula to find the length of CC'

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ik its squared because it has a sqrt and then im suppost to put the numbers in

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats exactly the process i showed you up above

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh wait i had 2,-2 not -2,2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for what? C, C'?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the answer sqrt5 i think it is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

at the end up, you have c( -2,2) and C'( 0,3) right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the distance formula give you |dw:1367768432444:dw| that's it
