Convection currents in the magma drive plate tectonics. Heat generated from the radioactive decay of elements deep in the interior of the Earth creates magma (molten rock) in the aesthenosphere.

Graph triangle with vertices U(0,0), V(-5,4) and W(0,6)
Levart [38]

Answer:

Perimeter of triangle UVW = 17.8 units

Explanation:

Given:

U(0,0), V(-5,4), W(0,6)

Find:

Perimeter of triangle UVW

Computation:

Distance = √(x1-x2)² + (y1-y2)²

UV = √(0+5)² + (0-4)²

UV = √41

VW = √(-5-0)² + (4-6)²

VW = √29

UW = √(0-0)² + (0-6)²

UW = √36

UW = 6

So,

Perimeter of triangle UVW = √41+√29+6 units

Perimeter of triangle UVW = 6.4 + 5.4 + 6

Perimeter of triangle UVW = 17.8 units

If the measure of a tangent chord angle is 68 degrees then what is the measure of the intercepted arc inside the angle
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

136°

Explanation:

Theorem: The measure of the angle formed by a tangent and a chord is equal to one-half the measure of the intercepted arc.

In the diagram below, PR is the chord, PRS is the tangent, and PQR is the intercepted arc.

Per the theorem,

mPRS = ½mPQR

mPQR = 2mPRS = 2 × 68° = 136°

The measure of the intersected arc is 136°.
