Explain the distance formula. then use it to calculate the distance between a(1,1) and b (7,-7)

The distance formula is given by:

We are given two points A and B as

A(1,1) and

B(7,-7)

so we have ,

x1 = 1 , y1=1

x2= 7 and y2=-7

Plugging these in the formula we have:

d=√(36+64)

d=√100

d=10

The distance between A(1,1) and B(7,-7) is 10

d=10 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello.

Step 1

the formula of the distance between two points is based on the Pythagorean theorem, which states that in a rectangle :

Now, suppose we have two points P1(X1,Y1) and P2(X2,Y2), the distance between the two points will be the hypotenuse of our triangle, the difference in x will be the adjacent leg, and the difference in coordinates in y will be our opposite leg.

adjacent side =X2-X1

opposite side=Y2-Y1

hypotenuse=distance between P1 and P2

replacing

we take only the positive root because it is a distance, a negative distance makes no sense

Step 2

find the distance between A(1,1) and B (7,-7) using the formula

Let

P1=A(1,1)

P2=B(7,-7)

put the values into the formula

d=10 units

2 & 7

step-by-step explanation:

he climbs 300 ft/hr at a constant rate. the peak is at 1,500 ft.

when going up, he reaches 600 ft in 2 hours. remember, that he is going in a constant rate. divide 600 with 300:

600/300 = 2

assuming that he takes the same route back (meaning that it's a 1500 ft route back, you can solve.

note also that you are solving when he gets back to 600 ft after he reaches the peak.

first, find the amount of hours it takes to get up the peak. divide the total amount (1500), with the ft/her (300) to get the amount of hours (x):

1500/300 = x

x = 5

it takes jamie 5 hours to get up. now, he is returning down, and reaches 600 (his current destination). remember that he climbs at a constant 300 ft/hr. divide 600 with 300:

600/300 = x

x = 2

now add the two numbers together.

x = 5 + 2 = 7

jamie takes 7 hours to go up the mountain and reach his current position when descending.

(total amount/constant rate) = (time).

remember that it is a constant rate, so in total, when he gets back down the mountain, it will take the same amount of time as when he goes up. the total amount for the round trip is: 5 + 5 = 10.
