Check the picture below.

so the perimeter of the polygon is the sum of all its sides, namely, AB + BC + CD + DA.

now, let's check how long each side is,

\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points}\\ \quad \\
\begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\
%  (a,b)
&A&(~{{ -6}} &,&{{ -4}}~) 
%  (c,d)
&B&(~{{ -3}} &,&{{ 6}}~)
\end{array}
\\\\\\
d = \sqrt{({{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}})^2 + ({{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}})^2}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
AB=\sqrt{[-3-(-6)]^2+[6-(-4)]^2}
\\\\\\
AB=\sqrt{(-3+6)^2+(6+4)^2}
\\\\\\
AB=\sqrt{3^2+10^2}\implies \boxed{AB=\sqrt{109}}\\\\
-------------------------------

\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points}\\ \quad \\
\begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\
%  (a,b)
&B&(~{{ -3}} &,&{{6}}~) 
%  (c,d)
&C&(~{{ 4}} &,&{{ 0}}~)
\end{array}
\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
BC=\sqrt{[4-(-3)]^2+[0-6]^2}\implies BC=\sqrt{(4+3)^2+(0-6)^2}
\\\\\\
BC=\sqrt{7^2+(-6)^2}\implies \boxed{BC=\sqrt{85}}\\\\
-------------------------------

\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points}\\ \quad \\
\begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\
%  (a,b)
&C&(~{{ 4}} &,&{{0}}~) 
%  (c,d)
&D&(~{{ 2}} &,&{{ -1}}~)
\end{array}
\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
CD=\sqrt{(2-4)^2+(-1-0)^2}\implies CD=\sqrt{(-2)^2+(-1)^2}
\\\\\\
\boxed{CD=\sqrt{5}}\\\\
-------------------------------

\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points}\\ \quad \\
\begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\
%  (a,b)
&D(~{{ 2}} &,&{{-1}}~) 
%  (c,d)
&A&(~{{ -6}} &,&{{ -4}}~)
\end{array}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
DA=\sqrt{[-6-2]^2+[-4-(-1)]^2}\\\\\\ DA=\sqrt{(-6-2)^2+(-4+1)^2}
\\\\\\
DA=\sqrt{(-8)^2+(-3)^2}\implies \boxed{DA=\sqrt{73}}

sum those sides up, and that's the perimeter of the polygon.

Answer:

Its 9.0 units

Step-by-step explanation:

For the side mostly to the left, its gonna be 3 units, since we can easlily count it

Now, for the diagonals, we have to use the formula for the area of a triangle, which is (l * w) / 2 = a.

For the bottom side, its 3 along the x axis and 1 along the y axis. 3 * 1 is 3, now divide that by 2 and you got 1.5

Now, for the right side, its 5 on the y, 1 on the x. Multiply 1 by 5, you got 5. Now divide that by 2 and you have 2.5

Finally, for the top side, its 4 on the x, and 1 on the y. 4 * 1 is 4, divided by 2 and its 2.

Alright, now we have to add 'em all together. 3 + 1.5 + 2.5 + 2 is 9 units

Theres your answer :)

How many 1/3 liters are in 4 2/3 liters
jonny [76]

Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a division problem.

We want to find how many 1/3 liters are in 4⅔ liters.

We divide to obtain:

\frac{4 \frac{2}{3} }{ \frac{1}{3} }

Or

4 \frac{2}{3}  \div  \frac{1}{3}

Convert to improper fraction.

\frac{14}{3}  \div  \frac{1}{3}

\frac{14}{3}  \times  \frac{3}{1}

This simplifies to

14

Therefore there are fourteen ⅓ liters in 4⅔ liters
