Answer 1

@amistre64

Answer 2

um, a^2 + b^2 = c^2

sooo, sqrt(c) - (a+b) is the difference right?

Answer 3

ack, sqrt(a^2+b^2) - (a+b)

forgo to include the ^2 on c

Answer 4

so 60 x 60 + 63 x 63= 7569

Answer 5

87 miles

Answer 6

sqrt(60^2 + 63^2) - (60+63)

im not getting 87

Answer 7

3600 = 3969= 7569

Answer 8

- 123= 7446

Answer 9

good, sqrt(7569) is?

Answer 10

86.3

Answer 11

thats not one of my answers

Answer 12

87, 60+63 is 123

so the difference is

123 - 87

Answer 13

sqrt(7569) = 87

123 - 87 is the difference

Answer 14

so 87 is my amswer

Answer 38

For the coordinate plane, which equation describes the locus of points equidistant from (–1, 3) and (3, –1)?

y – 3 = –(x + 1)
y = x
y = -x
y + 1 = x – 3
is this one y= x
