The "distance formula" an extension of the Pythagorean Theorem is:

d^2=(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2 in this case:

d^2=(-8-7)^2+(-9--1)^2

d^2=(-15)^2+(-8)^2

d^2=15^2+8^2

d=√(15^2+8^2)

So the answer is 15^2+8^2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of figure=Area of rectangle+Area of triangle

Area of figure=(x+2)(x-3)+1/2*(x)*(x+2)

Area of figure=x^2-x-6+0.5*x^2+x

Area of figure=(3/2)x^2-6

Please solve this literal equation for the variable "f"

Tatiana [17]

$\frac{df+10}{6}= g$

Now, multiply both sides by 6 and you get.....

df+10=6g

now, subtract 10 on both sides and you get.....

df=6g-10

now divide both sides by d to get f by itself and you get........

$f= \frac{6g-10}{d}$

Given: EL- tangent, EK- secant <br> Prove: EJ·LK = EL·LJ

drek231 [11]

Answer:

This is possible.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can say that m<E=m<E, because of the Reflexive Property

Then, we have angles JKL and ELJ, which are equal through the peripheral angle theorem.

With these two angles, we can say that triangles ELK and EJL are similar, by the Angle-Angle Postulate (AA).

Then we can create this ratio through the Corresponding Parts of Similar Triangles Theorem, (CPST), $\frac{LK}{LJ} =\frac{EL}{EJ}$ .
