Emaniee would like to build a ramp for her dog over some stairs.
Compute the distance between points b and C and enter it on the worksheet.
11 inches, 7 inches, 30 inches.
To compute the distance between points B and C, we need to use the Pythagorean theorem.
The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right-angled triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
In this case, we can consider points B and C as the endpoints of the hypotenuse, with the distance between them as the length of the hypotenuse. The two other sides are given by the distances: 11 inches and 7 inches.
Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can calculate the length of the hypotenuse as follows:
hypotenuse^2 = 11^2 + 7^2
hypotenuse^2 = 121 + 49
hypotenuse^2 = 170
hypotenuse = √170 ≈ 13.038 inches
Therefore, the distance between points B and C is approximately 13.038 inches.
Thats wrong bot
Apologies for the mistake. Let's calculate the correct distance:
Using the Pythagorean theorem, the distance between points B and C can be calculated as follows:
Distance^2 = 11^2 + 7^2 + 30^2
Distance^2 = 121 + 49 + 900
Distance^2 = 1070
Distance = √1070 ≈ 32.73 inches
Therefore, the distance between points B and C is approximately 32.73 inches.
needs to be a whole number not a decimal bot
Apologies for the confusion. Let's recalculate the distance without decimals:
Using the Pythagorean theorem, the distance between points B and C can be calculated as follows:
Distance^2 = 11^2 + 7^2 + 30^2
Distance^2 = 121 + 49 + 900
Distance^2 = 1070
Distance ≈ √1070 ≈ 32.70 inches
Since we need a whole number, we can round the result.
Therefore, the distance between points B and C is approximately 33 inches.
To compute the distance between points B and C, we can use the distance formula. The distance formula is derived from the Pythagorean theorem. It states that the distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) in a two-dimensional Cartesian plane can be found using the following formula:
distance = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
In this case, we are given three distances: 11 inches, 7 inches, and 30 inches. Assuming these distances represent the sides of a right triangle, we can label them as follows:
Side AB = 11 inches
Side BC = 7 inches
Side AC = 30 inches
To find the distance between points B and C, we need to find side AC. We can use the Pythagorean theorem to do this:
AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2
Substituting the given values:
AC^2 = 11^2 + 7^2
AC^2 = 121 + 49
AC^2 = 170
Taking the square root of both sides:
AC = √170
Therefore, the distance between points B and C is approximately √170 inches.
