Answer:

96 in

Step-by-step explanation:

If the midpoints of the sides are joined to form the smaller triangle, then the perimeter of the smaller triangle is half the perimeter of the greater triangle, because the sides of the smaller triangle are midlines of the greater triangle. By the triangle's midline theorem, each triangle's midline is half the side to which this midline is parallel.

So, if the perimeter of 6th triangle is 3 inches, then the perimeter of 5th triangle is 6 inches, the perimeter of 4th triangle is 12 inches, the perimeter of 3rd triangle is 24 in, the perimeter of 2nd triangle is 48 in and the perimeter of the initial triangle is 96 in

XYZ has coordinates X(2, 3), Y(1,4), and Z(8,9). A translation maps X to X'(4,7). What are the coordinates for Y' and Z' for thi
Rashid [163]

Answer:

The coordinates are Y'(x,y) = (3, 8) and Z'(x,y) = (10, 13).

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we have to derive an expression for translation under the assumption that each point of XYZ experiments the same translation. Vectorially speaking, translation from X to X' is defined by:

X'(x,y) = X(x,y) + T(x,y) (1)

Where T(x,y) is the vector translation.

If we know that X(x,y) = (2,3) and X'(x,y) = (4,7), then the vector translation is:

T(x,y) = X'(x,y)-X(x,y)

T(x,y) = (4,7) - (2,3)

T(x,y) = (2, 4)

Then, we determine the coordinates for Y' and Z':

Y'(x,y) = Y(x,y) + T(x,y)

Y'(x,y) = (1,4) + (2,4)

Y'(x,y) = (3, 8)

Z'(x,y) = Z(x,y) + T(x,y)

Z'(x,y) =(8,9) + (2,4)

Z'(x,y) = (10, 13)

The coordinates are Y'(x,y) = (3, 8) and Z'(x,y) = (10, 13).

The ages of three siblings combined is 27. The oldest is twice the age of the youngest. The middle child is 3 years older than t
kondaur [170]

Answer:

the oldest sibling is 12 years old.

The middle child is 9 years old.

The youngest child is 6 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of the youngest child be x

Then the oldest child will be 2x.

The middle child will be x + 3.

Since the combined age is 27;

x + 2x + x + 3 = 27

4x = 27 - 3

x = 24 / 4

x = 6

now 2x = 12 and x + 3 = 9
