Answer:

The answer to your question is: Ф = 43.95°

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

length = 18 ft

distance bottom to is 13 ft

x = angle = ?

Formula

cos Ф = opposite side / hypotenuse

Process

cos Ф = 13 ft / 18 ft substitution

cos Ф = 0.72 simplify

Ф = cos⁻¹ (0.72)

Ф = 43.95° result

The coordinates of the vertices of a polygon are (-2, 1). (-3, 3), (-1, 5), (2, 4), and (2, 1). What is the perimeter of the pol

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

$15.2\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Plot the vertices of the polygon to better understand the problem

we have

$A(-2, 1). B(-3, 3), C(-1, 5), D(2, 4),E(2, 1)$

using a graphing tool

The polygon is a pentagon (the number of sides is 5)

see the attached figure

The perimeter is equal to

$P=AB+BC+CD+DE+AE$

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

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

step 2

<em>Find the distance AB</em>

$A(-2, 1). B(-3, 3)$

substitute in the formula

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

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

$d_A_B=\sqrt{5}=2.24\ units$

step 3

<em>Find the distance BC</em>

$B(-3, 3), C(-1, 5)$

substitute in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(5-3)^{2}+(-1+3)^{2}}$

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

$d_B_C=\sqrt{8}=2.83\ units$

step 4

<em>Find the distance CD</em>

$C(-1, 5), D(2, 4)$

substitute in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(4-5)^{2}+(2+1)^{2}}$

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

$d_C_D=\sqrt{10}=3.16\ units$

step 5

<em>Find the distance DE</em>

$D(2, 4),E(2, 1)$

substitute in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(1-4)^{2}+(2-2)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(-3)^{2}+(0)^{2}}$

$d_D_E=\sqrt{9}\ units$

$d_D_E=3\ units$

step 6

<em>Find the distance AE</em>

$A(-2, 1).E(2, 1)$

substitute in the formula

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

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

$d_A_E=\sqrt{16}\ units$

$d_A_E=4\ units$

step 7

Find the perimeter

$P=AB+BC+CD+DE+AE$

substitute the values

$P=2.24+2.83+3.16+3+4=15.23\ units$

Round to the nearest tenth of a unit

$P=15.2\ units$

Answer: (0,0),(0,4), and (5,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

It is easy to find lengths of horizontal and vertical segments and distances from (0,0) so always place one vertex at the origin and one or more sides on an axis.

This answer has an x intercept and y intercept.
