Let the area of rectangle with given points are as follows :
A(-3,3)
B(3,2)
C(4,-1) = C( x1,y1)
D(-2,-3) = D( x2, y2)
Now,
The distance of CD = root under(x2-x)^2 +( y2 - y1)^2

Given lJK , which is an isosceles right triangle, IJ=4 and m
Answer:
[tex]IK = IJ\sqrt{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
First, it's an isosceles right triangle, which means there is a 90 degree angle and the two other angles are equal.
To find what the two other angles are, you can set up a quick equation:
let x be angle
90 + 2x = 180, since the sum of the interior angles in a triangle is always 180.
then,
[tex]2x = 90\\x = 45[/tex]
Therefore, the triangle is a 45-45-90 triangle.
You have the measure of IJ, which is one of the legs of the triangle. The way you can find the length of the hypotenuse of a 45-45-90 triangle is by multiplying the length of one of the legs by [tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex].
This means the equation is [tex]IK = IJ\sqrt{2}[/tex]
Answer:
[tex]\sf IK=IJ\sqrt{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The interior angles of a triangle sum to 180°. Therefore, if ΔIJK is an isosceles right triangle where m∠J = 90°:
vertex is m∠J = 90°two base angles are m∠K and m∠ITo calculate the base angles:
⇒ m∠K + m∠I + m∠J = 180°
⇒ m∠K + m∠I + 90° = 180°
⇒ m∠K + m∠I = 90°
⇒ m∠K = m∠I = 45°
Therefore, IJ and JK are the legs of the right triangle and IK is the hypotenuse.
To find the length of the hypotenuse, use Pythagoras' Theorem.
Pythagoras’ Theorem: [tex]\sf a^2+b^2=c^2[/tex]
(where a and b are the legs, and c is the hypotenuse, of a right triangle)
Given:
a = IJ = 4b = JK = 4c = IKSubstitute the given values into the formula and solve for IK:
[tex]\sf \implies IJ^2+JK^2=IK^2[/tex]
[tex]\sf \implies 4^2+4^2=IK^2[/tex]
[tex]\sf \implies IK^2=32[/tex]
[tex]\implies \sf IK=\sqrt{32}[/tex]
[tex]\implies \sf IK=\sqrt{16 \cdot 2}[/tex]
[tex]\implies \sf IK=\sqrt{16}\sqrt{2}[/tex]
[tex]\implies \sf IK=4\sqrt{2}[/tex]
As IJ = 4 then:
[tex]\implies \sf IK=IJ\sqrt{2}[/tex]

Total cost with 6 snacks:
Total cost with x snacks:.
need answer quickly as possibly!
Answer #1:
The total cost with 6 snacks is $78.
Answer #2:
The total cost with x snacks is represented by the expression 60 + 3x.
Step-by-step explanation for answer #1:
Starting off with what we know:
Genesis has 3 kids, so there are 4 people total including Genesis.Each movie ticket is $15.Each snack is $3.To answer the question of how much money Genesis would have to pay for her family if she bought 6 snacks for everybody, first consider the total cost of the movie tickets.
Multiply the total number of people by the cost of each movie ticket:
[tex]4* 15=60[/tex]
Genesis will be paying $60 total only to see the movie with her 3 kids. To find the total cost of both seeing the movie and buying 6 snacks, simply multiply the number of snacks by the cost of each snack:
[tex]6 * 3=18[/tex]
Then, add the total cost of the movie tickets by the total cost of the snacks to achieve your first answer:
[tex]60+18=78[/tex]
The total cost with 6 snacks is $78.
Step-by-step explanation for answer #2:
To find the total cost of "x" snacks (x is being used as a variable term to represent a quantity subject to change), we can create an algebraic expression.
Let "t" represent the total cost.
Since we've established that finding the total cost is just a matter of adding the total cost of movie tickets (60) and the total cost of snacks (3 multiplied by the number of snacks), let "x" represent the number of snacks in the equation to find the total cost with x snacks:
[tex]60+3x=t[/tex]
The total cost with x snacks is represented by the expression 60 + 3x.
Based on the given data, the total cost of 6 snacks: $78. total cost with x snacks: $60 + (3x).
Use the concept of multiplication defined as:
To multiply means to add a number to itself a particular number of times. Multiplication can be viewed as a process of repeated addition.
Given that,
Genesis is going to see a movie with her 3 kids.
Each movie ticket costs $15.
There are snacks available for purchase at $3 each.
Genesis wants to buy 6 snacks for everybody to share.
To calculate the total cost for Genesis and her 3 kids,
Consider the movie tickets and the snacks.
The cost of the movie tickets can be calculated by multiplying the number of people (4 in this case) by the cost of each ticket ($15).
So, Genesis would have to pay 4 x $15 = $60 for the movie tickets.
Now, let's calculate the total cost if Genesis were to buy 6 snacks for everybody to share.
Each snack costs $3, so 6 snacks would cost 6 x $3 = $18.
Therefore, the total cost for Genesis would be,
$60 (movie tickets) + $18 (snacks) = $78.
If we consider x snacks for everybody to share,
The total cost for snacks would be x $3.
So, the final cost would be $60 (movie tickets) + (3x) (snacks).

At first, he made [tex]2\frac{5}{8}[/tex] kg of tuna filling.
Mr Abdul made tuna and curry potato filling for some puffs.
3/5 of the filling he made was tuna and the rest was curry potato.
So, amount of curry potato = 1- 3/5 = 2/5
Ratio of tuna & curry potato = tuna : curry potato
= 3/5 : 2/5 = 3 : 2
Let amount of tuna = 3x & amount of curry potato = 2x
After he used 1/8kg of the tuna filling and made another 3/4 kg of curry potato filling.
According to the question, he then had equal amounts of tuna filling and curry potato filling left.
So, 3x - 1/8 = 2x + 3/4
Multiplying 8 in both sides we get,

The point stope form of the equation of the line that passes through (-4,-3) and (12, 1) is y-1 = (x-12). What is
the standard form of the equation for this line?
Answer:
x-4y = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
The standard form for the equation of a line is Ax+By=C where A is a positive integer and B and C are integers
First we need to find the slope
m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (-3-1) / (-4-12)
=-4/-16
= 1/4
The point slope form is
y-1 = 1/4(x-12)
Multiply each side by 4
4(y-1 )= 4*1/4(x-12)
4(y-1) = x-12
4y -4 = x-12
Subtract 4y from each side
4y-4-4y = x-4y -12
-4 = x-4y -12
Add 12 to each side
-4+12 = x-4y -12+12
8 = x-4y
x-4y = 8
The standard form is x-4y = 8

Answer:
[tex]\textsf{A.} \quad \dfrac{1}{2}y^2=\ln|x|+x+1[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve the differential equation:
Rearrange the given equation to get all the terms containing y on the left side, and all the terms containing x on the right side:
[tex]\dfrac{dy}{dx}=\dfrac{1+x}{xy}[/tex]
[tex]\implies y\dfrac{dy}{dx}=\dfrac{1+x}{x}[/tex]
[tex]\implies y\:dy=\dfrac{1+x}{x}\:dx[/tex]
[tex]\implies y\:dy=\dfrac{1}{x}+\dfrac{x}{x}\:dx[/tex]
[tex]\implies y\:dy=\left(\dfrac{1}{x}+1\right)\:dx[/tex]
Integrate both sides:
[tex]\displaystyle \implies \int y\:dy=\int \left(\dfrac{1}{x}+1\right)\:dx[/tex]
[tex]\implies \dfrac{1}{2}y^2=\ln|x|+x+C[/tex]
Find the value of C using the given values of x and y:
when x = 1, y = -2
[tex]\implies \dfrac{1}{2}(-2)^2=\ln|1|+1+C[/tex]

A boy earned $435, $230, and $562 for 3 consecutive months. How much did he earn in the fourth month so that he gets an average earning of $500 in these 4 months?
Answer:
The boy earned $773 in the fourth month.
Step-by-step explanation:
1) First, we need to find the total amount of money he needs so that the average of the 4 months would be 500. We can do this by multiplying 500 and 4 (essentially, we are working backward when trying to find the average) [tex]500*4=2000[/tex] So, we know that the boy needs $2000 total by the end of the fourth month to make the 4-month average $500.
2) Now, we know how much the boy made for the first 3 consecutive months, so add those numbers up. [tex]435+230+562=1227[/tex] So within the first 3 months, the boy made $1227.
3) Finally, we know how much money the boy needs by the end of the fourth month and how much he made by the third, so to figure out how much he earned in the fourth month, we can simply subtract $1227 from $2000. [tex]2000-1227=773[/tex]
