Answer:

40 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

If we let r represent the radius of the circle, the legs of the triangle have length 5+r and 12+r. Then the Pythagorean Theorem tells us ...

(5 +12)^2 = (5 +r)^2 +(12 +r)^2

5^2 +2·5·12 +12^2 = 5^2 +2·5·r +r^2 + 12^2 +2·12·r +r^2

120 = 34r +2r^2 . . . . subtract 5^2 +12^2

60 +8.5^2 = 8.5^2 +17r +r^2 . . . . . . divide by 2, add (17/2)^2

11.5 = 8.5 +r . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . take the square root (negative root is extraneous)

3 = r

The radius of the circle is 3 cm. The perimeter of the triangle is the sum of the side lengths:

(5 +3) cm + (12 +3) cm + (5+12) cm = 2(5 +12 +3) cm = 40 cm

Find the distance between the points (0,-8) and (3,2). Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
Reil [10]

Answer:

10.44

Step-by-step explanation:

First plot each of the points on to a graph at their respective positions.

Following that create a 90° triangle out of the points. This will create a 3 by 10 triangle. (3 to 0 is 3) (-8 to 2 is a difference of 10)

You can then use the pythagorean theorem a^{2} +b^{2} = c^{2}.

Insert the lengths of each of the sides that we got earlier which would be 3 and 10 into the equation. 3^{2} + 10^{2} = c^{2}

Since we want to find the hypotenuse which is equal to c we work the equation to 9+100 = c^{2} which in turn is 109 = c^{2}

Then take the square root of 109 to remove the square from the c to get c = 10.44
