<span>The perimeter is 14.47

Since you have 3 vertices, the polygon you have is a triangle. The sides of the triangle will be XY, XZ, and YZ. Just use the pythagorean theorem to calculate the length of each side and then add the lengths together for the result. Side XY = sqrt( (-1-3)^2 + (3-0)^2) = sqrt(16+9) = sqrt(25) = 5 Side XZ = sqrt ( (-1-(-1))^2 + (3-(-2))^2) = sqrt(0+25) = sqrt(25) = 5 Side YZ = sqrt( (3-(-1))^2 + (0-(-2))^2) = sqrt(16 + 4) = sqrt(20) = 4.47 Now add the length of each side together 5 + 5 + 4.47 = 14.47</span>

The lengths of the sides of a triangle are represented by 3 consecutive even integers. if the perimeter of the triangle is 72 fe

iris [78.8K]

P = a + b + c
P = 72
a = x
b = x + 2
c = x + 4

72 = x + x + 2 + x + 4
72 = 3x + 6
72 - 6 = 3x
66 = 3x
66/3 = x
22 = x

x + 2 = 22 + 2 = 24
x + 4 = 22 + 4 = 26

the sides of ur triangle are : 22,24,26 <==

A snail can move 1/30 miles in 1/3 hour. How fast does a snail move in miles /hours

bekas [8.4K]

Answer: 1/10 miles/hour

To find how fast a snail moves in miles per hour, we can find the unit rate using a proportion.

The unit rate is the amount per one unit. In this problem, the unit is for one hour. One way to find the unit rate is by using a proportion.

<h2>Proportions</h2>

Proportions look like two fractions set equal to each other with a missing variable to solve.

<h3>State our variables</h3>

let <em>x</em> be the number of miles per hour

<h3>Write a proportion</h3>

The first fraction has a number for the numerator (top) and denominator (bottom), because the question gives us the information. The second fraction has a missing value, <em>x</em>, that we are solving for. We can write <em>x</em> in the numerator.

$\displaystyle{\frac{\frac{1}{30}\ mi}{\frac{1}{3}\ hr} = \frac{x\ mi}{1\ hr}}$

<h2>Solve</h2>

We can solve by finding the scale factor. The scale factor is the number we can multiply the numerator by to find <em>x</em>.

<h3>Find the scale factor</h3>

Start with the proportion.

$\displaystyle{\frac{\frac{1}{30}\ mi}{\frac{1}{3}\ hr} = \frac{x\ mi}{1\ hr}}$

To find the scale factor,

Take the denominator from the fraction with a variable: $1\ hr$
Take the denominator from the fraction that has no variable: $\frac{1}{3}\ hr$
Divide step 1 by step 2 and solve: $1\ hr\ \div\ \frac{1}{3}\ hr = 3$

Our scale factor is <u>3</u>.

<h3>Solve for x</h3>

We can find <em>x</em> by multiplying the numerator in the first fraction by the scale factor. This is because <em>x</em> is also in the numerator.

$\displaystyle{\frac{\frac{1}{30}\ mi}{\frac{1}{3}\ hr} = \frac{(\frac{1}{30}\ mi)*3}{1\ hr}}$

$\displaystyle{\frac{\frac{1}{30}\ mi}{\frac{1}{3}\ hr} = \frac{\frac{3}{30}\ mi}{1\ hr}}$

Simplify 3/30 by dividing the fraction by 3.

$\displaystyle{\frac{\frac{1}{30}\ mi}{\frac{1}{3}\ hr} = \frac{\frac{1}{10}\ mi}{1\ hr}}$

x = 1/10

∴ a snail moves 1/10 miles per hour.

Samantha just opened a new restaurant. She earned $550 on the first day and $750 on the third day that she was open for business

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If Samantha's earnings continue to increase at the same rate, this means that her earning is increasing arithmetically.

If she earned $550 in the first day, we can say the first term is $550

If she earned $750 on the third day, we can say the third term is $750

For us to know by how much her money is increasing, we need to find the common difference d formed by the sequence

550, x , 750

T1 = 550

T2 = x

T3 = 750

Common difference d = T2-T1 = T3-T2

x - 550 = 750 - x = d

Let's calculate the second term first i.e x

Since x - 550 = 750 - x = d

x - 550 = 750 - x

Collect like terms

x+x = 750+550

2x = 1300

x = 1300/2

x = 650

d = T2-T1

d = x - T1

d = 650-550

d = 100

Hence her money keeps increasing by $100 each day

The parent function f(x) = x3 is translated to form g(x), as shown on the graph. The translated function can be written in the f

Ahat [919]

Answer:

First option

h = 4 and k = - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x^3 translated to g(x) = (x – h)^3 + k.

f(x) transformed to g(x) with 4 units to the right and 2 units down

g(x) = (x - 4)^3 - 2

h = 4 and k = - 2

Match each of the trigonometric expressions below with the equivalent non-trigonometric function from the following list. Enter

Levart [38]

Answer:

Match each of the trigonometric expressions below with theequivalent non-trigonometric function from the following list.Enter the appropiate letter(A,B, C, D or E)in each blank

A . tan(arcsin(x/8))

B . cos (arsin (x/8))

C. (1/2)sin (2arcsin (x/8))

D . sin ( arctan (x/8))

E. cos (arctan (x/8))

These are the spaces to fill out :

.. ..........x/64 (sqrt(64-x^2))

.............x/sqrt(64+x^2)

.............sqrt(64-x^2)/8

..............x/sqrt(64-x^2)

..............8/sqrt(64+x^2)

A. ........tan(arcsin(x/8)) =......x/sqrt(64-x^2)

B . cos (arsin (x/8)) ....sqrt(64-x^2)/8

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this we have to find the missing sides to each of the triange discribed in prenthesis thus

A we have the sides of the triangle given by x, 8 and $\sqrt{8^{2} - x^{2} }$ or $\sqrt{64 - x^{2} }$

thus tan(arcsin(x/8)) = $\frac{x}{\sqrt{64 - x^{2} }}$ =

Therefore ........tan(arcsin(x/8)) =......x/sqrt(64-x^2)

Here we have cos = adjacent/hypotenuse where adjacent side is $\sqrt{64 - x^{2} }$ and hypothenuse = 8 we have $\sqrt{64 - x^{2} }$ /8

B . cos (arsin (x/8)) ....sqrt(64-x^2)/8
