Plug 4 in for every x
(3*4)-4=8
(4^2)-1=15 [(4^2) is 4*4]
(2*(4^2))-15= 15 [because of PEMDAS the exponent comes first and then multiply by 2 then subtract]
Perimeter is the sum of the lengths so add up all the sides from above
8+15+15=38
Answer:
Each chord is cut into two segments at the point of where they intersect. One chord is cut into two line segments A and B. The other into the segments C and D. This theorem states that A×B is always equal to C×D no matter where the chords are.
A + b + c = 72
a = b - 1
c = b + 1
(b - 1) + b + (b + 1) = 72
Simplify
3b = 72
b = 24
a = 24 - 1
a = 23
X = -6y - 12
4x + 5y =-39
4x + 5y = -39
-4(-6y - 12) + 5y = -39
-4(-6y) + 4(12) + 5y = -39
24y + 48 + 5y = -39
29y + 48 = -39
29y = -87
y = -3
x = -6y - 12
x = -6(-3) - 12
x = 28 - 12
x = 6
(x, y) = (6, -3)
Note the coordinates of each point: R(-4, 5), S(5, 1), T(2, -3).
The centroid is the point whose coordinates are the average of the coordinates of R, S, and T.
<em>x</em>-coordinate: (-4 + 5 + 2)/3 = 3/3 = 1
<em>y</em>-coordinate: (5 + 1 - 3)/3 = 3/3 = 1
So the centroid is (1, 1).
