Algebra.Com's Answer #80497 by checkley71(8403)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! what you have is a right triangle with sides (4+2)=6 in the y direction \n" ); document.write( "& (1+3)=4 in the x direction. \n" ); document.write( "seeing as we're looking for the hypotenuse of this right triangle we use the pythagorean therom:a^2+b^2=c^2 \n" ); document.write( "6^2+4^2=c^2 \n" ); document.write( "36+16=c^2 \n" ); document.write( "c^2=52 \n" ); document.write( "c=sqrt52 \n" ); document.write( "c=7.21 is the distance between these 2 points. \n" ); document.write( "------------------------------------------------ \n" ); document.write( "OR C=SQRT52=SQRT(4*13)=2SQRT(13) \n" ); document.write( "THIS IS THE SAME ANSWER IN A DIFFERENT FORM. \n" ); document.write( "YOU NEED TO BE ABLE TO CONVERT THESE TYPE OF ANSWERS AS YOU DIDN'T GIVE THE AVAILABLE ANSWERS.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
