Find the perimeter of the pentagon MNPQR with vertices M(2, 4), N(5, 8), P(8, 4), Q(8, 1), and R(2, 1)

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

The pentagon MNPQR has a perimeter of 22 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Geometrically speaking, the perimeter of the pentagon is the sum of the lengths of each side, that is:

$p = MN + NP + PQ + QR + RM$ (1)

$p = \sqrt{\overrightarrow{MN}\,\bullet \, \overrightarrow{MN}} + \sqrt{\overrightarrow{NP}\,\bullet \, \overrightarrow{NP}} + \sqrt{\overrightarrow{PQ}\,\bullet \, \overrightarrow{PQ}} + \sqrt{\overrightarrow{QR}\,\bullet \, \overrightarrow{QR}} + \sqrt{\overrightarrow{RM}\,\bullet \, \overrightarrow{RM}}$ (1b)

If we know that $M(x,y) = (2,4)$ , $N(x,y) = (5,8)$ , $P(x,y) = (8,4)$ , $Q(x,y) = (8,1)$ and $R(x,y) = (2,1)$ , then the perimeter of the pentagon MNPQR is:

$p =\sqrt{(5-2)^{2}+(8-4)^{2}} + \sqrt{(8-5)^{2}+(4-8)^{2}}+\sqrt{(8-8)^{2}+(1-4)^{2}}+\sqrt{(2-8)^{2}+(1-1)^{2}}+\sqrt{(2-2)^{2}+(4-1)^{2}}$ $p = \sqrt{3^{2}+4^{2}} + \sqrt{3^{2}+(-4)^{2}}+\sqrt{0^{2}+(-3)^{2}}+\sqrt{(-6)^{2}+0^{2}}+\sqrt{0^{2}+3^{2}}$

$p = 22$

The pentagon MNPQR has a perimeter of 22 units.

A recommendation for wheelchair ramps is that the rise-to-run ratio be no greater than 1:12. This ensures that the ramps are nav

patriot [66]

Answer:

a. 12 feet b. 12 feet 0.5 inches c. 8.33 %

Step-by-step explanation:

a. How far out horizontally on the ground will it protrude from the building?

Since the rise to run ratio is 1:12 and the building is 12 inches off the ground, let x be the horizontal distance the ramp protrudes.

So, by ratios rise/run = 1/12 = 12/x

1/12 = 12/x

x = 12 × 12

x = 144 inches

Since 12 inches = 1 foot, 144 inches = 144 × 1 inch = 144 × 1 foot/12 inches = 12 feet

b. How long should the ramp be?

The length of the ramp, L is gotten from Pythagoras' theorem since the ramp is a right-angled triangle with sides 12 inches and 144 inches respectively.

So, L = √(12² + 144²)

= √[12² + (12² × 12²)]

= 12√(1 + 144)

= 12√145

= 12 × 12.042

= 144.5 inches

Since 12 inches = 1 foot, 144.5 inches = 144 × 1 inch + 0.5 inches = 144 × 1 foot/12 inches + 0.5 inches = 12 feet 0.5 inches

c. What percent grade is the ramp?

The percentage grade of the ramp = rise/run × 100 %

= 12 inches/144 inches × 100 %

= 1/12 × 100 %

= 0.0833 × 100 %

= 8.33 %

Solve the system of equations graphicallySolution=?

BigorU [14]

The given system is

$\begin{cases}y=\frac{5}{2}x-8 \\ y=-\frac{1}{2}x-2\end{cases}$

Given that y = y, let's combine the equations

$\frac{5}{2}x-8=-\frac{1}{2}x-2$

Let's solve for x

$\begin{gathered} \frac{5}{2}x+\frac{1}{2}x=8-2 \\ \frac{6}{2}x=6 \\ 3x=6 \\ x=\frac{6}{3} \\ x=2 \end{gathered}$

Then, we find y

$y=-\frac{1}{2}x-2=-\frac{1}{2}\cdot2-2=-1-2=-3$

The solution is (2, -3).

The image below shows the solution graphically.

A clock has a diameter of 16 inches. Which measurement is closest to the area of the clock in square inches? 804.25 in2 50.27 in

meriva

Answer:

200.96 in2

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a circle = nr²

n = 3.14

r = radius

the diameter is the straight line that passes through the centre of a circle and touches the two edges of the circle.

A radius is half of the diameter

diameter = 2r

radius = 16 inches / 2 = 8 in

Area = 3.14 x 8² = 200.96 in²

The next term of the sequence is 48.<br> (2, 4, 8, 16, 32,...)

Goryan [66]

Answer:

64

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that each new term of this geometric sequence is 2x the previous term.

If the sequence starts off as 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 ... , then the next term is 2(32) = 64.

(Where did the '48' come from?)
