Find the perimeter of triangle ABC, with coordinates A(-3, 0), B(0, 4), and C(3, 0).

2 answers:

6 0

The perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides.
Find the lengths of the sides using the distance formula:
$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2} \\ \\ \\
A=(-3,0), B=(0,4), C=(3,0) \\ \\
|AB|=\sqrt{(0-(-3))^2+(4-0)^2}=\sqrt{3^2+4^2}=\sqrt{9+16}=\sqrt{25}=5 \\ \\
|AC|=\sqrt{(3-(-3))^2+(0-0)^2}=\sqrt{6^2+0^2}=\sqrt{6^2}=6 \\ \\
|BC|=\sqrt{(3-0)^2+(0-4)^2}=\sqrt{3^2+(-4)^2}=\sqrt{9+16}=\sqrt{25}=5 \\ \\
P=|AB|+|AC|+|BC|=5+6+5=16$

The answer is c. 16.

The graph shows the volume of ice cubes versus temperature in degrees

drek231 [11]

Answer:

A. The data show a negative linear relationship.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the attached image as we can see that the temperature is in Y axis and volume of ice cubes is in X axis

So the following statements considered to be true

a. The volume represents the explanatory variable

b. Temperature would be strongly correlated to the ice cubes volume

c. As the correlation coefficient is near to -1

But it does not show the negative linear relationship

Therefore the correct option is a.

A 10 2/3 inch long pipe is cut into 8 equal length pieces, how long is each piece

storchak [24]

Answer:

$\frac{4}{3}$ inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The total length of pipe is 10 2/3rd inches

It is cut into 8 equal pieces

We need to divide total length by 8 to get length of each piece. First, we have to convert mixed number (total length) to improper fraction by using formula shown below:

$a\frac{b}{c}=\frac{(a*c)+b}{c}$
