Answer:

The perimeter of the trapezoid is 38.25\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The perimeter of the trapezoid is the sum of its four side lengths

so

In this problem

P=QR+RS+ST+QT

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

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

we have

Q(8, 8), R(14, 16), S(20, 16),T(22, 8)

step 1

Find the distance QR

Q(8, 8), R(14, 16)

substitute the values in the formula

d=\sqrt{(16-8)^{2}+(14-8)^{2}}

d=\sqrt{(8)^{2}+(6)^{2}}

d=\sqrt{100}

QR=10\ units

step 2

Find the distance RS

R(14, 16), S(20, 16)

substitute the values in the formula

d=\sqrt{(16-16)^{2}+(20-14)^{2}}

d=\sqrt{(0)^{2}+(6)^{2}}

d=\sqrt{36}

RS=6\ units

step 3

Find the distance ST

S(20, 16),T(22, 8)

substitute the values in the formula

d=\sqrt{(8-16)^{2}+(22-20)^{2}}

d=\sqrt{(-8)^{2}+(2)^{2}}

d=\sqrt{68}

ST=8.25\ units

step 4

Find the distance QT

Q(8, 8),T(22, 8)

substitute the values in the formula

d=\sqrt{(8-8)^{2}+(22-8)^{2}}

d=\sqrt{(0)^{2}+(14)^{2}}

d=\sqrt{196}

QT=14\ units

step 5

Find the perimeter

P=10+6+8.25+14=38.25\ units

Peggy earned $20 for each lawn she mowed last summer. This summer, she raised her price to $23 per lawn. What is the percent inc
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

15 percent

Step-by-step explanation: You will substract the new value from the old value.

23-20

Now you will get the difference between them and divide that by the original amount.

3/20

This will equal 0.15 in which you now multiply by 100

15 percent

Percy Cod takes a walk around the perimeter path of his local park. The park is in the shape of a rectangle which is 400m wide a
lozanna [386]

Answer:

2800m

Step-by-step explanation:

Assumption:

Start point from which Percy Cod walks is "x"

If he walks around a perimeter that is the shape of a rectangle,

Length of area = L = 1000m

Width of area = W = 400m

Distance around the rectangle = D = 2 * (L + W)

D = 2 * (400+1000)

D = 2 * 1400

D = 2800m

Please select the best answer from the choices provided
Ira Lisetskai [31]

<u>Answer:</u>

The correct answer option is c. \frac{1}{9a^2}.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are given an expression (27a^{-3})^{-\frac{2}{3} } and we are supposed to simplify it.

We can also write (27a^{-3})^{-\frac{2}{3} } as (\frac{3^3}{a^3} )^{-\frac{2}{3} }.

We know the power rule (a^m)^n=a^{mn} which means that to raise a power to a power you need to multiply the exponents.

So multiplying the exponents to get:

\frac{3^{(3.-\frac{2}{3})} }{a^{(3.\frac{2}{3})} }\\\\\frac{3^{-2}}{a^2}\\ \\\frac{1}{3^2a^2} \\\\\frac{1}{9a^2}

Therefore, the correct answer option is c. \frac{1}{9a^2}.
