<span>
The product of -5 and -4 is 20
The square of the smaller number, -5, is 25.
The product, 20, is indeed 5 less than 25, the square of the smaller number.</span>

Find the perimeter of the following triangle.

pashok25 [27]

Hello!

To find the perimeter of the triangle, we need to find the length of all the sides using the <u>distance formula</u>.

The distance formula is: $d =\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$ .

First, we can find the distance between the points (-3, -1) and (2, -1). The point (-3, -1) can be assigned to $(x_{1},y_{1})$ , and (2, -1) is assigned to $(x_{2},y_{2})$ . Then, substitute the values into the formula.

$d =\sqrt{(2 - (-3))^{2}+ (-1 - (-1))^{2}}$

$d =\sqrt{5^{2}+0^{2}}$

$d =\sqrt{25} = 5$

The distance between the points (-3, -1) and (2, -1) is 5 units.

Secondly, we need to find the distance between the points (2, 3) and (2, -1). Assign those points to $(x_{1},y_{1})$ and $(x_{2},y_{2})$ , then substitute it into the formula.

$d =\sqrt{(2 - 2)^{2}+ (-1 - 3)^{2}}$

$d =\sqrt{0^{2}+(-4)^{2}}$

$d =\sqrt{16} = 4$

The distance between the two points (2, 3) and (2, -1) is 4 units.

Finally, we use the distance formula again to find the distance between the points (-3, -1) and (2, 3). Remember the assign the ordered pairs to $(x_{1},y_{1})$ and $(x_{2},y_{2})$ and substitute!

$d =\sqrt{(2 -(-3))^{2}+ (3 - (-1))^{2}}$

$d =\sqrt{5^{2}+4^{2}}$

$d =\sqrt{25 + 16}$

$d =\sqrt{41}$ This is equal to approximately 6.40 units.

The last step is to find the perimeter. To find the perimeter, add of the three sides of the triangle together.

P = 5 units + 4 units + 6.4 units

P = 15.4 units

Therefore, the perimeter of this triangle is choice A, 15.4.

How many unique triangles can be made when one angle measures 90° and another angle is half that measure?

valina [46]

In a right-triangle, if either of the other two angles are "half that measure", or half of 90°, that means 45°, then the last angle will also have to be a 45° one too, and the sides coming from the 90° angle, will be equal twins, and therefore they can only make up one type-length hypotenuse, and due to that, you can only make that one triangle. Check picture below.

PLEASE HELP!! I will give brainliest!!

Answer:

See screenshot attached that shows it is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) has a domain of (-infinity, 6) U (6, infinity). Horizontal asymptote of y= -2

g(x) has a domain of (-infinity, -3) U (-3,2) U (2,infinity). Horizontal asymptote of y=1.

h(x) has a domain of (-infinity, 6) U (6, infinity). Function has a oblique asymptote.
