To find the perimeter of the triangle, you need to know the length of the hypotenuse (h). Use the Pythagorean theorem to find it.
.. h^2 = (4w)^2 + (15/2*w)^2
.. = w^2*(4^2 +(15/2)^2)
.. = w^2*(16 +56 1/4)
.. = w^2*(72 1/4)
Taking the square root, we find the hypotenuse to be
.. h = √(w^2*72.25) = 8.5w = (17/2)w

Now, the length of the triangle's perimeter is the sum of the lengths of the sides.
.. P = 4w +(15/2)w +(17/2)w
.. P = 20w

The area of the triangle is half the product of base and height:
.. A = (1/2)(4w)(15/2*w)
.. A = 15w^2

So, the ratio of perimeter to area is
.. P/A = (20w)/(15w^2) = 4/(3w) . . . . . . . . simplified expression for P/A

The problem is asking you to find (and graph) the values of w such that
.. P/A < 1
.. 4/(3w) < 1 . . . . . . substitute our value of P/A
.. 4/3 < w . . . . . . . . multiply by w

This is graphed with an open circle around the point 1 1/3, and a solid arrow to the right of that circle. The open circle shows that w=4/3 is NOT a solution, but all values greater than that are.

Identify the property used in the first five steps to solve the equation 2(x – 5) - 6x= -22
USPshnik [31]
<span>To answer this question, you need to multiply the number inside the bracket first. Then you can move the number to the right side of the equal sign and keep the x on the left side of the equal sign. The step would be like this

2(x – 5) - 6x= -22
(2x - 10) - 6x = -22
2x - 6x  = -22 +10
-4x= -12
x= -12/-4
x=3</span>

I am a fraction that is equal to 1/6 what am i?
jonny [76]
We can multiply both the numerator and denominator by ANY number (as long as you multiply both the numerator and denominator by the SAME number) to get an equivalent fraction

examples would be 2/12 (numerator and denominator multiplied by 2)3/18 (by 3)
4/24 (by 4) etc.
