No idea sum help please if you can explain it thats great too!!! thanks?

Question

#1- Find the distance between the pair of points. Round to the nearest tenth is necessary.

(-13 , -8) and (6 , 17)

#2- Find the distance between the pair of points. Round to the nearest tenth is necessary.

(-10, -8) and (-3 , 12)

#3- The coordinates of the endpoints of a segment are given. Find the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment.

G(-7 , 7) , H ( -1 , 7)

#4- The coordinates of the endpoints of a segment are given . Find the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment.

A (4 , 12) , B (2 , -2)

#5- A young 12-foot giant sequoia sapling casts a shadow 17 feet long. One of the oldest trees in Sequoia National Park casts a shadow 300 feet long. How tall is the tree ? Round to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

Try sketching these problems in order to get the concept of solving them.

The line is a slope with the base of the triangle from -13 to +6 which equals 19. The height is a line from -8 to 17 which is 25.

The hypotenuse (C) is equal to a^2 + B^2 = c^2

2) is done the same way

3) plot the slope ( midpoint is 1/2 of x at 1/2 y)

Since the line is flat along the y axis the midpoint is (-3,7)

4) is the same method as #3

5) The triangles are similar

12 x = 17

y * x = 300

Substitute and solve for y

Answer 2

just do -13/6 and you will get the dis and then do the same with -8 /17 and can use a calculator do that with 1 and 2 the other ones i don't know

Answer 3

If this question was in the math section where it is supposed to be, I'd spend the time answering it.  But since you are not smart enough to realize you have it in GEOGRAPHY, you can figure it out for yourself.
