How do I find the the perimeter of a rectangle in a coordinate plane

Mathematics

From the way you worded the question, it sounds like you have
the (x, y) coordinates of each corner of the rectangle.

The perimeter of any shape is the distance all the way around it,
or the sum of the lengths of all the sides.

So you have to take the coordinates of the four corners of the
rectangle, and find the length of each side ... that's the distance
between each pair of corner-points.  Then addum up to get the
perimeter.

I know finding the distance between two points is a pain, so I'll
tell you a way to make it a bit simpler:  You don't actually need to
do it 4 times.  You can get away with doing it only 2 times, and
you'll have enough information to find the perimeter.

Take the coordinates at the ends of any side of the rectangle.
Find the distance between them.  The side opposite that one
has the same length.

Then take the coordinates of either side that hooks onto the
side you just did.  One end of it will have the same coordinates
that you just worked with.  Find the distance between the two ends.
You know that this distance is the other dimension of the rectangle,
and you also know that the side opposite it has the same length.

So now, you found the distance between two pairs of points,
and you know both dimensions of the rectangle, and you know
the length of all four sides.

Now you can wrap it up !

Which value of b will cause the quadratic equation x^2+bx+5=0 to have two real number solution
Aloiza [94]
To have 2 real number solutions  the discriminant b^2 - 4ac  must be greater than zero.

so the condition  for 2 real roots in this equation is:-

b^2 - 4*1*5 > 0
b^2 >  20

b > sqrt 20    ( positive root)    Answer

Ariele is hiking down into the canyon. She starts at the rim and hikes down 55 feet in 234 minutes. If she continues at this rat
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

This means that she will be 16.35 ft away from the rim in 15 minutes at this current rate.

Step-by-step explanation:

What we are asked here is imply to state how long in terms of distance would be Arielle position after 15 minutes

Now, 55 ft will take her 234 minutes

x ft will take her 15 minutes

x * 234 = 55 * 15

234x = 3825

x = 3825/234

x = 16.35 ft

This means that she will be 16.35 ft away from the rim in 15 minutes at this current rate.

18x^2+21x-9 I need to figure out how to work this problem
shtirl [24]
18x^2+21x-9=3(6x^2)+3(7x)-3(3)\\\\=3(6x^2+7x-3)=3(6x^2+9x-2x-3)\\\\=3[3x(2x)+3x(3)-1(2x)-1(3)]\\\\=3[3x(2x+3)-1(2x+3)]\\\\=\boxed{3(2x+3)(3x-1)}
