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

Answer:

x = 325 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{195}{3}  =  \frac{x}{5} \\ 3.x = 5.195 \\ 3x = 975 \\ x =  \frac{975}{3}   \\ x = 325 \: miles

stira [4]
Work out the number of hours in  1 year:-

1 year = 365*24 = 8760

So the number dying each hour = 31,000 / 8760 = 3.54

The sum of two numbers is 108. the difference of the same numbers is 78. what are the numbers
Nimfa-mama [501]

The sum of two numbers:

x + y = 108

The difference of the same two numbers:

x - y = 78

We can use substitution to figure out x and y:

x - y = 78 can be changed to x = 78 + y

We can plug this into the first equation:

78 + y + y = 108

78 + 2y = 108

2y = 30

y = 15

Now solve for x using any of the two equations. I'll use the first equation since it's easier:

x + 15 = 108

x = 93
