Can someone check my answer?

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

I think it's PQ & Plane PQS. Am I correct?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

sorry, what is the question, more exactly?

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

Nameing the line and plane shown in the picture. @Michele_Laino

OpenStudy (math&ing001):

Yeah you're correct

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

yes! you are right!

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

Ok thank you!

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

:)

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

Could you help me with a problem?

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

@Michele_Laino

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

yes!

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

@Michele_Laino

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

the coordinates of the midpoint of a segment whose ends are: \((x_1,y_1)\), and \((x_2,y_2)\), is: \[\Large M = \left( {\frac{{{x_1} + {x_2}}}{2},\frac{{{y_1} + {y_2}}}{2}} \right)\]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

oops.. are*

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

so it's (2,2) right?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

yes!

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

can you help with one last problem?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

ok!

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

here we have to compute these three distances: \(d(A,B),\;d(B,C),\;d(CA)\)

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

for example, here is the distance \(d(A,B)\): \[\Large d\left( {A,B} \right) = \sqrt {{{\left( { - 3 - 9} \right)}^2} + {{\left( {7 - \left( { - 2} \right)} \right)}^2}} = ...?\]

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

Can you help more? lol I don't get it.

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

hint: \[\Large \begin{gathered} d\left( {A,B} \right) = \sqrt {{{\left( { - 3 - 9} \right)}^2} + {{\left( {7 - \left( { - 2} \right)} \right)}^2}} = \hfill \\ \hfill \\ = \sqrt {{{12}^2} + {9^2}} = \sqrt {144 + 81} = ...? \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \]

OpenStudy (sbuck98):

It's 21 units right?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

it is: \[\Large \begin{gathered} d\left( {A,B} \right) = \sqrt {{{\left( { - 3 - 9} \right)}^2} + {{\left( {7 - \left( { - 2} \right)} \right)}^2}} = \hfill \\ \hfill \\ = \sqrt {{{12}^2} + {9^2}} = \sqrt {144 + 81} = \sqrt {225} = 15 \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

next: \[\Large \begin{gathered} d\left( {B,C} \right) = \sqrt {{{\left( { - 3 - \left( { - 3} \right)} \right)}^2} + {{\left( { - 2 - 7} \right)}^2}} = \hfill \\ \hfill \\ = \sqrt {{0^2} + {9^2}} = ...? \hfill \\ \hfill \\ \hfill \\ d\left( {C,A} \right) = \sqrt {{{\left( { - 3 - 9} \right)}^2} + {{\left( { - 2 - \left( { - 2} \right)} \right)}^2}} = \hfill \\ \hfill \\ = \sqrt {{{12}^2} + {0^2}} = ...? \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \]
