AB + BC + AC = 96
but AB = AC [isosceles triangle]
2AB + 24 = 96
2AB = 96 - 24 = 72
AB = 72/2 = 36
AB = 36 degrees.

Isosceles triangles are triangle with 2 equal sides.

base of the triangle is AC , therefore sides AB and BC are equal

perimeter is sum of all the sides of ABC

formula is

AB + BC + AC = 96 cm

AC = 24 cm

then

AB + BC = 96 - 24

AB + BC = 72 cm

since its an isosceles triangle

AB = BC = x

then

x + x = 72

2x = 72

x = 72/2 = 36 cm

measure of AB = 36 cm

Let P-6. 4) be a point on rectangle PQRS, What are the coordinates

Stels [109]

Answer:

The coordinates of P' are $(-\frac{9}{4},\frac{3}{2})$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a point (x,y). If we have a dilation by a scale factor of r, centered at the origin, we have that the coordinates of (x,y) in the new system is given by (r*x,r*y).

Assumign that this dilation is centered at the origin, then if P is the point (-6,4) then the point P' is $(-6\cdot \frac{3}{8},4\cdot \frac{3}{8}) = (-\frac{9}{4},\frac{3}{2})$

Could someone please help me:) I am stick and I am not sure what to do

Answer:

Part 5.1.1:

$\displaystyle \cos 2A = \frac{7}{8}$

Part 5.1.2:

$\displaystyle \cos A = \frac{\sqrt{15}}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that:

$\displaystyle \sin 2A = \frac{\sqrt{15}}{8}$

Part 5.1.1

Recall that:

$\displaystyle \sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1$

Let θ = 2A. Hence:

$\displaystyle \sin ^2 2A + \cos ^2 2A = 1$

Square the original equation:

$\displaystyle \sin^2 2A = \frac{15}{64}$

Hence:

$\displaystyle \left(\frac{15}{64}\right) + \cos ^2 2A = 1$

Subtract:

$\displaystyle \cos ^2 2A = \frac{49}{64}$

Take the square root of both sides:

$\displaystyle \cos 2A = \pm\sqrt{\frac{49}{64}}$

Since 0° ≤ 2A ≤ 90°, cos(2A) must be positive. Hence:

$\displaystyle \cos 2A = \frac{7}{8}$

Part 5.1.2

Recall that:

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned} \cos 2\theta &= \cos^2 \theta - \sin^2 \theta \\ &= 1- 2\sin^2\theta \\ &= 2\cos^2\theta - 1\end{aligned}$

We can use the third form. Substitute:

$\displaystyle \left(\frac{7}{8}\right) = 2\cos^2 A - 1$

Solve for cosine:

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned} \frac{15}{8} &= 2\cos^2 A\\ \\ \cos^2 A &= \frac{15}{16} \\ \\ \cos A& = \pm\sqrt{\frac{15}{16}} \\ \\ \Rightarrow \cos A &= \frac{\sqrt{15}}{4}\end{aligned}$

In conclusion:

$\displaystyle \cos A = \frac{\sqrt{15}}{4}$

(Note that since 0° ≤ 2A ≤ 90°, 0° ≤ A ≤ 45°. Hence, cos(A) must be positive.)

Juan drives 7.5 miles in 15 minutes. If he drove three hours in total at the same rate,

olga55 [171]

He went 90 miles, 180 minutes. explanation: there are 4 , 15 minute intervals in an hour. 4 x 15 is 30. so 30 miles an hour. you multiply 30 miles x 3 hours and get 90 miles. then there’s 60 minutes in an hour and 60 x 3 is 180.
