It was reported that Ross Perot spent approximately $40 million of his own money in the 1992 presidential campaign. His total wo

rth was reported to be approximately $4 billion. If your total worth were $50,000 and you spent the same fraction of your worth on an election as Perot did, how much money would you have spent?

Which of the following shows the correct order for -1 2/5, (-1)², -1.4 repeating and (1/2)²

lukranit [14]

Answer:

<h2>b. -1.4 repeating<-1 2/5<(1/2)²<(-1)²</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate and convert the fractions (mixed number) to the decimals:

$-1\dfrac{2}{5}=-1\dfrac{2\cdot2}{5\cdot2}=-1\dfrac{4}{10}=-1.4\\\\(-1)^2=(-1)(-1)=1\\\\-1.4444...\\\left(-\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^2=\left(-\dfrac{1}{2}\right)\left(-\dfrac{1}{2}\right)=\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{1\cdot25}{4\cdot25}=\dfrac{25}{100}=0.25$

We have

$-1.4;\ 1,\ -1.444...,\ 0.25$

Therefore

$-1.444...$

Can someone please help w/this

The smallest of the 3 interior angles of the triangle is 10 degrees. Note that the diagram is not to scale.

Thus, sin 10 degrees = opp / hyp = 200 m / x

0.1736 = (200 m) / x, or x = (200 m) / 0.1736

= 1152 m (rounded up from 1151.75 m).

Triangle ABC has vertices at (-4,0) , (-1, 6) and (3,-1) perimeter of triangle ABC, rounded to the nearest tenth ?

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

The perimeter of triangle ABC is $P=21.8\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of triangle ABC is equal to

$P=AB+BC+AC$

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

$d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}$

we have

$A(-4,0),B(-1, 6),C(3,-1)$

step 1

Find the distance AB

$A(-4,0),B(-1, 6)$

substitute in the formula

$d_A_B=\sqrt{(6-0)^{2}+(-1+4)^{2}}$

$d_A_B=\sqrt{(6)^{2}+(3)^{2}}$

$d_A_B=\sqrt{45}\ units$

step 2

Find the distance BC

$B(-1, 6),C(3,-1)$

substitute in the formula

$d_B_C=\sqrt{(-1-6)^{2}+(3+1)^{2}}$

$d_B_C=\sqrt{(-7)^{2}+(4)^{2}}$

$d_B_C=\sqrt{65}\ units$

step 3

Find the distance AC

$A(-4,0),C(3,-1)$

substitute in the formula

$d_A_C=\sqrt{(-1-0)^{2}+(3+4)^{2}}$

$d_A_C=\sqrt{(-1)^{2}+(7)^{2}}$

$d_A_C=\sqrt{50}\ units$

step 4

Find the perimeter

$P=AB+BC+AC$

substitute the values

$P=\sqrt{45}+\sqrt{65}+\sqrt{50}=21.8\ units$
