The perimeter of the polygon to the nearest tenth of a unit  \boxed{16.9{\text{ units}}}. Option (b) is correct.

Further explanation:

The distance between the two points can be calculated as follows,

\boxed{{\text{Distance}}=\sqrt {{{\left( {{x_2} - {x_1}} \right)}^2} + {{\left( {{y_2} - {y_1}} \right)}^2}}}

Given:

The coordinates of the vertices of the polygon are \left({ - 2, - 2}\right),\left( {3, - 3}\right),\left( {4, - 6}\right),\left( {1, - 6}\right) and \left( { - 2, - 4}\right).

Explanation:

Consider the points as A \left( { - 2, - 2} \right), B\left( {3, - 3} \right), C\left( {4, - 6} \right), D\left( {1, - 6} \right) and  E\left({ - 2, - 4} \right).

The distance between point A and point B can be calculated as follows,

\begin{aligned}{\text{Distance}}&=\sqrt {{{\left( {3 + 2} \right)}^2} + {{\left( { - 3 + 2}\right)}^2}}\\ &= \sqrt {25 + 1}\\&= \sqrt {26}\\&= 5.2\\\end{aligned}

The distance between point B and point C can be calculated as follows,

\begin{aligned}{\text{Distance}}&=\sqrt {{{\left( {4 - 3} \right)}^2} + {{\left( { - 6 + 3} \right)}^2}}\\&= \sqrt {{1^2} + 9}\\&= \sqrt {10}\\&= 3.17\\\end{aligned}

The distance between point C and point D can be calculated as follows,

\begin{aligned}{\text{Distance}}&= \sqrt {{{\left({1 - 4} \right)}^2} + {{\left( { - 6 + 6}\right)}^2}}  \\&=\sqrt {{3^2} + 0}\\&= \sqrt9\\&= 3\\\end{aligned}

The distance between point D and point E can be calculated as follows,

\begin{aligned}{\text{Distance}}&= \sqrt {{{\left( { - 2 - 1}\right)}^2} + {{\left( { - 4 + 6}\right)}^2}}\\&= \sqrt{ - {3^2} + {2^2}}\\&= \sqrt {9 + 4}\\&= \sqrt {13}\\&= 3.61\\\end{aligned}

The distance between point E and point A can be calculated as follows,

\begin{aligned}{\text{Distance}} &= \sqrt {{{\left( { - 2 + 2} \right)}^2} + {{\left( { - 4 + 2} \right)}^2}}\\ &= \sqrt {{0^2} + {2^2}}\\&=\sqrt4\\&= 2\\\end{aligned}

The perimeter of the polygon can be calculated as follows,

\begin{aligned}{\text{Perimeter}}&= 5.12 + 3.17 + 3 + 3.61 + 2\\&= 16.9\\\end{aligned}

Option (a) is not correct.

Option (b) is correct.

Option (c) is not correct.

Option (d) is not correct.

6. A hospital needs a supply of an expensive medicine. Company A has the most
Anton [14]

We are required to find the total milligrams if medicine the hospital can get from the three companies.

The total quantity of medicine the hospital can get from the three companies is 2.75 milligrams

There are there companies:

Company A

Company B

Company C

Company A = 1.3 milligrams

Company A is 0.9 milligrams more than Company C's

A = 0.9 + C

1.3 = 0.9 + C

1.3 - 0.9 = C

0.4 = C

C = 0.4 milligrams

Company A is also twice the difference between the weight of

Company B's supply and Company C's

A = 2(B - C)

1.3 = 2(B - 0.4)

1.3 = 2B - 0.8

1.3 + 0.8 = 2B

2.1 = 2B

Divide both sides by 2

B = 2.1/2

B = 1.05 milligrams

Therefore,

A + B + C

= 1.3 + 1.05 + 0.4

= 2.75 milligrams

John bought a bag of lawn fertilizer that will cover 289 square feet. What
erik [133]

Answer:

17 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

A bag of lawn fertilizer covers 289 square feet

Dimensions of the largest square plot of lawn that the bag of fertilizer will cover.

Area of a square lawn = length^2

Area of the square lawn = 289 square feet

Area of a square lawn = length^2

289 = length^2

Find the square root of both sides

√289 = √length^2

17 = length

Length = 17 feet

Dimensions of the largest square plot of lawn that the bag of fertilizer will cover = 17 feet by 17 feet
