My teacher wouldn't help me.. and this is my last question. I need to know how to find the perimeter of the geometric figure (it

's a parallelogram) The sides are 13/12 cm, 3/13 cm, 13/12 cm, 3/13 cm. The perimeter is (blank) cm. And can you simplify it?

This isn't really a geometry problem.  It's just an addition of fractions.

You know that 'perimeter' means 'the distance all the way around'.
And you know the length of all the sides of the parallelogram.
All you need to do is add them up !

(13/12) + (3/13) + (13/12) + (3/13) = the perimeter

Notice that two of the sides are equal, and the other two sides are also equal.
So you can make the job a little easier if you add up the twelfths first

(13/12) + (13/12) = 26/12

and then add up the thirteenths ...

(3/13) + (3/13) = 6/13 .

Now, the perimeter looks a little bit less complicated.
It's just
                   (26/12) + (6/13) = the perimeter.

This is the tough part.  Before you can add fractions, they need to have
a common denominator. 

The smallest common denominator for 12ths and 13ths is  <em>156 </em>!
Change each fraction to (<em>something over 156</em>), and add um up.
I'll leave that part to you.

Answer:

25.05

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a random sample of 160 car crashes are selected and categorized by age. The results are listed below. The age distribution of drivers for the given categories is 18% for the under 26 group, 39% for the 26-45 group, 31% for the 45-65 group, and 12% for the group over 65.

     

<26 26-45 46-65` >65  

Observed  O 66 39 25 30 160

Expected  E 40 40 40 40 160

     

Chi square      

(O-E)^2/E 16.9 0.025 5.625 2.5 25.05

Thus we get chi square test statistic = 25.05

If 42 pushups is done in 3 minutes how many can be done in 5
tresset_1 [31]
So first find out how many can be done in 1 minute.
In an equation it would be 3x=42
Divide by 3
x=14
So 14 pushups can be done in 1 minute (congratulations to this person I can barely do one haha)
So now you multiply what you can do in 1 minute by 5 minutes.
14x5= 70 pushups

1.) Is y= cosx/x an even, odd , or neither <br><br> 2.) Is y=sinx/x and even, odd , or neither
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) y = (cos x) / x is neither, since cos x is even and x is odd.  Expressions such as this are neither even nor odd. /

2) y = (sin x) / x is even, since sin x and x would either both be positive at the same time or negative at the same time.  Recall that (-) / (-) is positive, just as (+) / (+) is positive.
