Question

Please help Algebra 2 midpoint and distance

Answer 1

I just need help on 2, 4, and 5b

Answer 2

So for 2 we will use the distance formula. Are you familiar with it?

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

Ok so the origin is (0, 0)

Answer 5

8 units right and 12 units up is (8, 12)

Answer 6

So we use these two coordinates
\(\large{\sqrt{(12-0)^2+(8-0)^2}}\)

Answer 7

ok got it

Answer 8

And then just round to the nearest tenth and you got your answer

Answer 9

no not quite

Answer 10

\(\sqrt{144-64}\) = \(\sqrt{80}\) simplify that

Answer 11

get it in decimals not simplified radical form

Answer 12

ok

Answer 13

got 8.94

Answer 14

so for 4 i would do the same thing basically right?

Answer 15

round to the nearest tenth that would be 8.9

Answer 16

yeah you would find the distance first but then after you have to find out how long it would take

Answer 17

And for 5b find the ordered pair for both and then find the distance

Answer 18
