the length of a small leg of a 30 degree, -60 degree, -90 degree triangle is 3. what is the perimeter of the triangle.

1 answer:

4 0

Did you mean "small" or did you mean "shortest?"

Let's assume that the shortest side has length 3. This would be opposite the 30 degree angle. We can form and solve an equation of ratios to solve this problem. Since this is a 30-60-90 degree triangle, the perimeter could be 1x + sqrt(3)x + 2x. 1x is the shortest side, so 1x = 3, and x=3.

Then the perimeter, 1x + sqrt(3)x + 2x, would be 3 + 3sqrt(3) + 6,
or
3(sqrt(3)+2).

27.9km to the nearest km

yuradex [85]

Answer: It rounds to <u>28 km</u>

Explanation:

The units or ones digit is "7". The next digit over (9) is five or larger. This means we bump the 27 up to 28. Everything after the 7 is ignored.

So we could have something like 27.999871212512 and we still follow the same idea of focusing on the 27, bumping it up to 28, and everything else gets ignored.

The reason for this is because 27.9 is much closer to 28 than it is to 27. Draw out a number line to help see this. Split the region from 27 to 28 into 10 equal pieces. The 9th little piece represents 27 & 9/10 aka 27.9

Refer to the number line diagram below.

Devon exercised the same amount of time each day for 5 days last week. e His exercise included walking and swimming. e Each day

prohojiy [21]

I think that Devon swam at least 35 minutes each day for 5 days because if he exercised 225 minutes and each day he walked for 10 minutes then if you divide 225 by 5 you get 45 so every day he exercised 45 minutes and since he walked for 10 minutes you subtract 10 from 45 which gives you 35 so he swam for 35 minutes.

A total of 70 tickets were sold for a concert and earn the organizers $804. If the cost of each ticket is either $10 or $12, how

crimeas [40]

Answer:

52 tickets cost $10 and 18 tickets cost $12

Step-by-step explanation:

10x+12y=804. (1)

x+y=70. (2)

From (2)

x=70-y

Substitute x=70-y into (1)

10x+12y=804

10(70-y)+12y=804

700-10y+12y=804

700+2y=804

2y=804-700

2y=104

y=104/2

y=52

Recall

x+y=70

x+52=70

x=70-52

x=18

52 tickets cost $10 and 18 tickets cost $12

Find the perimeter of the triangle with vertices A(negative 2,2,3), B(4,negative 4,3), and C(7,6,4).

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

$P\approx 28.872\,\text{units}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given coordinates of each of the vertices of the triangle ABC, hence we can use the distance formula to find the lengths of each of the side.

the distance formula is generally written as:

$r = \sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2+(z_1-z_2)^2}$

for the side AB: A(-2,2,3) and B(4,-4,3)

$AB = \sqrt{(-2-4)^2+(2-(-4))^2+(3-3)^2}$

$AB = \sqrt{(-6)^2+(6)^2+(3-3)^2}$

$AB = \sqrt{72}$

for the side BC: B(4,-4,3) and C(7,6,4)

$BC = \sqrt{(4-7)^2+((-4)-6)^2+(3-4)^2}$

$BC = \sqrt{110}$

for the side CA: C(7,6,4) and A(-2,2,3)

$CA = \sqrt{(7-(-2))^2+(6-2)^2+(4-3)^2}$

$CA = \sqrt{98}$

Now we all the sidelengths:

to find the perimeter we need to just sum the three side lengths:

$P = AB + BC + CA$

$P = \sqrt{72} + \sqrt{110} + \sqrt{98}$

$P\approx 28.872\,\text{units}$

this is the perimeter of triangle ABC

4g + 3(-3 + 4g) = 1-g. Solve the equation. Can someone help me ASAP. I'm confused

Olegator [25]

4g+3(-3+4g)=1-g
Distribute the 3(-3+4g)
4g-9+12g=1-g
Add 4g and 12g
16g-9=1-1g
Add 1g and 16g (variables always have an invisible 1 in front)
17g-9=1
Add 9 and 1
17g=10
Divide both sides by 17 and the answer is g=10/17
