If a fly is crawling on an adjacent wall at a point having coordinates 2 and 1 what is the flys distance from the corner of the room?

The fly's distance, assuming the coordinates are measured from the corner nearest to the fly, is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with base of x (1) and height of y (2). Thus, the formula given in the Pythagorean Theorem (the root of a sum of squares) will yield the result; precisely the square root of 5, or 2.2360679774997896964091736687313

Which way is diagonal?
Kitty-corner. In a square, a line drawn between one corner and the corner which is not adjacent to it.
What is the difference between a side and a corner in a 2d shape?
A side in a polygon is an edge; it is the line segment joining two adjacent vertices, or corners. A corner is the point where two adjacent sides meet.
How do you enlarge a shape?
mesure the distance from the point to a corner, then keep going for distance * scale do it for each corner
What is the corner to corner measurement of 3.8 x 3.9?
Distance = root(3.8^2 + 3.9^2) Distance = 5.4452 inches
How many lines does it take to connect every corner of a ten sided shape?
10. or 45. depending on if we're connecting them to adjacent corners or to every other corner
How do you find the distance between the corner and the center of a rhombus?
You must know something else. Like an angle. Or coordinates of the vertices on an x-y plane. And, of course the length of a side. If you know an angle, then you know them all, adjacent angles are supplementary. use law of cosines to find the length of a diagonal. 1/2 of the diagonal is the distance to the opposite vertices. Use law of cosines with the adjacent angle to find the length of the 2nd diagonal. 1/2 of this 2nd diagonal is the distance from the center to the other two vertices.
How did Descartes think of the coordinate planes?
It is said that he was ill and in bed. He looked up at the ceiling where he noticed a fly. He figured out that knowing the distances from a corner of the ceiling along the two adjacent sides of the ceiling will uniquely identify its location. So, if the corner of the ceiling was the origin and the two adjacent sides were the axes, you have the Cartesian plane.

What is the difference in corner of a cube and edge of a cube?
A corner is a point (where three sides of the cube meet). An edge is a line (where two sides meet). A line is also the connection between two adjacent corners.A corner is a point (where three sides of the cube meet). An edge is a line (where two sides meet).
