Answer:
20.3
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance formula can be used to find the side lengths.
d = √((x2 -x1)^2 +(y2 -y1)^2)
For the first two points, ...
d = √((3 -(-2))^2 +(6 -3)^2) = √(5^2 +3^2) = √34 ≈ 5.83
For the next two points, ...
d = √((2 -3)^2 +(-2-6)^2) = √(1 +64) = √65 ≈ 8.06
For the last and first points, ...
d = √((-2-2)^2 +(3-(-2)^2) = √(16 +25) = √41 ≈ 6.40
Then the sum of the side lengths is ...
5.83 +8.06 +6.40 = 20.29 ≈ 20.3
The perimeter of the triangle is about 20.3 units.
The path is in the shape of a parabola, the horizontal length is 24, so the middle point is at x=12, the symmetry line is x=12, the highest point (the vertex) is at (12,6)
the equation in vertex form is y=a(x-12)²+6
next, find a by using either one of the two points, the starting point (0,0) or the end point (0,24). obviously (0,0) is easier to calculate:
0=a(0-12)² +6
a=-1/24
so the quadratic equation is y=-
<u>Answer:</u>
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
<u>We can find 'a' through Pythagoras theorem.</u>
- => 8² = 3² + a²
- => 64 = 9 + a²
- => a² = 55
- => a = √55
- => a = 7.416 = 7.4
Hoped this helped.
I think 3.16 I said I think
You'll get two X values because there is a modulus.
