<span>Leah,  Let x=Blair's fish and 2x= Jay's fish; yet together they caught 27 fish.  So, x + 2x=27;  Combine the like terms.  So, 3x=27;  Now divide both sides of the equation by 3, therefore, x=9 which is the amt of fish Blair caught.  So, 2(9)=18 is the amt of fish Jay caught.  Check:  9 +2(9)=27;  27=27.</span>

What is the perimeter formula for a polygon?<br> Formula please , not how to do it!
IrinaK [193]
For a regular polygon, it is number of sides times the length of one side.
If you know the polygon's area and apothem, then the perimeter formula is:
Perimeter = Area / (Apothem/2)

Prove or disprove that the point (√5, 12) is on the circle centered at the origin and containing the point (-13, 0). Show your w
pav-90 [236]

Using the equation of the circle, it is found that since it reaches an identity, the point (√5, 12) is on the circle.

<h3>What is the equation of a circle?</h3>

The equation of a circle of center (x_0, y_0) and radius r is given by:

(x - x_0)^2 + (y - y_0)^2 = r^2

In this problem, the circle is centered at the origin, hence (x_0, y_0) = (0,0).

The circle contains the point (-13,0), hence the radius is found as follows:

x^2 + y^2 = r^2

(-13)^2 + 0^2 = t^2

r^2 = 169

Hence the equation is:

x^2 + y^2 = 169

Then, we test if point (√5, 12) is on the circle:

x^2 + y^2 = 169

(\sqrt{5})^2 + 12^2 = 169

25 + 144 = 169

Which is an identity, hence point (√5, 12) is on the circle.

If BC= 48 cm and sin
erastovalidia [21]

Using relations in a right triangle, it is found that the length of AC is of 14 cm.

<h3>What are the relations in a right triangle?</h3>

The relations in a right triangle are given as follows:

  • The sine of an angle is given by the length of the opposite side to the angle divided by the length of the hypotenuse.
  • The cosine of an angle is given by the length of the adjacent side to the angle divided by the length of the hypotenuse.
  • The tangent of an angle is given by the length of the opposite side to the angle divided by the length of the adjacent side to the angle.

Researching this problem on the internet, we have that:

  • The opposite leg to angle A is of 48 cm.
  • sin(A) = 0.96.

Hence the hypotenuse is found as follows:

sin(A) = 48/h

0.96 = 48/h

h = 48/0.96

h = 50 cm.

The length of side AC is the other leg of the triangle, found using the Pythagorean Theorem, hence:

x^2 + 48^2 = 50^2

x^2 = \sqrt{50^2 - 48^2}

x = 14 cm.
