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

Answer:

Mia is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can see this if you write 5/11 in a calculator, you get 0.454545454545 infinitely. In other cases, you would write it like Malik said if the answer were to be 0.455555555, but it isn't.

If f(x) = 2x - 6 and g(x) = 3x + 9, find (f+g)(x)
valina [46]

Answer:

(f+g)(x)  =  5x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2x - 6 and g(x) = 3x + 9, find (f+g)(x)

(f+g)(x) = f  + g  =  (2x - 6)  + (3x + 9) =   5x + 3

(f+g)(x) = f  + g  =  5x + 3

Micah is preparing for a piano recital. He practices for 50 minutes on Monday and 90 minutes on Wensday
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

She increased 80% the practise time

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete, the following is missing:

<em>by how much did she increase the time she practised each day? </em>

From Monday to Wednesday she increased 90 - 50 = 40 minutes  the practise time.

To compute the increment as a percentage use: increment/reference *100

In this case, that is: 40/50*100 = 80%, where 50 minutes is taken as a reference.

I have a past due balance of $87.50 and my new charges are $75.00. I was also charged a late fee of 15% of my past due balance.
Kitty [74]
Past due balance = $87.50
Late fee = 15% of $87.50 = 0.15*87.50 = $13.125
New charges = $75.00

New total = 87.50 + 13.125 + 75 = $175.625

Answer: The new total is $175.63
