If each dowel is .5 of an inch. Then 2 dowels can be made per inch. If there are 10 inches. Then 20 dowels can be made because 10*2 equals 20.

Determine what shape is formed for the given coordinates for ABCD, and then find the perimeter and area as an exact value and ro

Helga [31]

Answer:

Part 1) The shape is a trapezoid

Part 2) The perimeter is $25(4+\sqrt{2})\ units$ or approximately $135.4\ units$

Part 3) The area is $937.5\ units^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Plot the figure to better understand the problem

we have

A(-28,2),B(-21,-22),C(27,-8),D(-4,9)

using a graphing tool

The shape is a trapezoid

see the attached figure

step 2

Find the perimeter

we know that

The perimeter of the trapezoid is equal to

$P=AB+BC+CD+AD$

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

$d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}$

Find the distance AB

we have

A(-28,2),B(-21,-22)

substitute in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(-22-2)^{2}+(-21+28)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(-24)^{2}+(7)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{625}$

$d_A_B=25\ units$

Find the distance BC

we have

B(-21,-22),C(27,-8)

substitute in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(-8+22)^{2}+(27+21)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(14)^{2}+(48)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{2,500}$

$d_B_C=50\ units$

Find the distance CD

we have

C(27,-8),D(-4,9)

substitute in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(9+8)^{2}+(-4-27)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(17)^{2}+(-31)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{1,250}$

$d_C_D=25\sqrt{2}\ units$

Find the distance AD

we have

A(-28,2),D(-4,9)

substitute in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(9-2)^{2}+(-4+28)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(7)^{2}+(24)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{625}$

$d_A_D=25\ units$

Find the perimeter

$P=25+50+25\sqrt{2}+25$

$P=(100+25\sqrt{2})\ units$

simplify

$P=25(4+\sqrt{2})\ units$ ----> exact value

$P=135.4\ units$

therefore

The perimeter is $25(4+\sqrt{2})\ units$ or approximately $135.4\ units$

step 3

Find the area

The area of trapezoid is equal to

$A=\frac{1}{2}[BC+AD]AB$

substitute the given values

$A=\frac{1}{2}[50+25]25=937.5\ units^2$

Suppose that receiving stations X, Y, and Z are located on a coordinate plane at the points (6,2), (negative 2,negative 4

marin [14]

Answer:

(2,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

A graph is useful here. Points X and Y have coordinate differences of ...

X -Y = (6, 2) -(-2, -4) = (6+2, 2+4) = (8, 6)

Then the distance between X and Y is ...

d = √(8² +6²) = √100 = 10

The point 5 units from X and from Y is the midpoint of XY:

E = (X +Y)/2 = ((6, 2) +(-2, -4))/2 = (4, -2)/2 = (2, -1)

The epicenter is (2, -1).

_____

The graph shows circles of radius 5 around X and Y, and a circle of radius 13 around Z. The circles intersect at the point (2, -1), the epicenter.

<h2>Writing an Equation of a Line in Slope-Intercept Form</h2><h3>Answer:</h3>

$y = [ -2 ] x + [ 1 ]\\$

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

<em>Please refer to my answer from this Question to know more about Slope-Intercept Form: <u>brainly.com/question/24599351</u></em>

We must first find the slope.

<em>Please refer to my Answer from this Questions to know more about Slopes of a Line:</em>

<em><u>brainly.com/question/24640665</u></em>
<em><u>brainly.com/question/24638053</u></em>

We can see the marked points, $(0,1)$ and $(4, -7)$ , are on the line.

Solving for the slope:

$m = \frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 -x_1} \\ m = \frac{-7 -1}{4 -0} \\ m = \frac{-8}{4} \\ m = -2$

Now we can now solve for the $y$ -intercept.

<em>Please refer to the second paragraph of my Answer from this Question to know more about y-intercepts: <u>brainly.com/question/24606058</u></em>

We can see that the line intersected the $y$ -axis at $(0,1)$ so $b = 1$ .
