Question

Compute the distance between points b and C and enter it on the worksheet.

11 inches, 7 inches, 30 inches.

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Thats wrong bot

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

needs to be a whole number not a decimal bot

Answer 5

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.
