Answer:

  60 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter will be minimized when the tiles are rearranged to form a rectangle with dimensions as close to each other as possible.

<h3>Rectangle dimensions</h3>

The square has a side length of ...

  P = 4s   ⇒   s = P/4 . . . . . P is perimeter, s is side length

  (60 in)/4 = 15 in . . . . length of the side of the square

The square has an area of ...

  A = s²

  A = (15 in)² = 225 in²

When 1 tile is removed, the resulting area, in square inches, is ...

  A = 225 -1 = 15² -1² = (15 -1)(15 +1) = 14×16

<h3>Perimeter</h3>

The perimeter of a rectangle is given by ...

  P = 2(L+W)

For this rectangle, the perimeter is ...

  P = 2(14 in + 16 in) = 2(30 in) = 60 in

The perimeter of the rectangle is 60 inches.

Considering the slopes of the segments, the correct option is:

D. No, because the triangle ABC doesn't have a pair of perpendicular sides.

<h3>When are lines parallel, perpendicular or neither?</h3>

The slope, given by <u>change in y divided by change in x</u>, determines if the lines are parallel, perpendicular, or neither, as follows:

  • If they are equal, the lines are parallel.
  • If their multiplication is of -1, they are perpendicular.
  • Otherwise, they are neither.

Here, we have to find if there are perpendicular segments, that is, if two slopes multiplied have a value of -1, then:

  • mAB = (-7 - 9)/(11 - 1) = -8/5.
  • mAC = (3 - 9)/(-9 - 1) = 3/5.
  • mBC = (3 - (-7))/(-9 - 11) = -1/2.

No sides are perpendicular, hence option D is correct.

Herman is standing on a ladder that is partly in a hole.He starts out on a rung that is 6 feet under ground ,climbs up 14 feet,t
fomenos
Well lets try using negatives and positives, negatives for underground positives for above. -6 + 14 = 8 then 8 - 11 = -3. When Herman finally stops climbing he is 3 feet below ground level.
