Out of 27 participants in a track race, 5 are from China, 4 from the U.S.A., 3 each from the U.K. and Russia, and the rest from

other countries. The names of each participant are put in a hat and drawn at random to see who gets Lane 1 in the race. What is the probability that the participant who gets Lane 1 is from the U.S.A.? Write your answer as a decimal rounded to the nearest thousandth.

The vertices of ∆ABC are A(-2, 2), B(6, 2), and C(0, 8). The perimeter of ∆ABC is units is? What is the area?

11111nata11111 [884]

we have

$A(-2, 2),B(6, 2),C(0, 8)$

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

The perimeter of the triangle is equal to

$P=AB+BC+AC$

and

the area of the triangle is equal to

$A=\frac{1}{2}*base *heigth$

in this problem

$base=AB\\heigth=DC$

we know that

The distance between two points is equal to

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

Step $1$

<u>Find the distance AB</u>

$A(-2, 2),B(6, 2)$

Substitute the values in the formula

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

$d=\sqrt{(0)^{2}+(8)^{2}}$

$dAB=8\ units$

Step $2$

<u>Find the distance BC</u>

$B(6, 2),C(0, 8)$

Substitute the values in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(8-2)^{2}+(0-6)^{2}}$

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

$dBC=6\sqrt{2}\ units$

Step $3$

<u>Find the distance AC</u>

$A(-2, 2),C(0, 8)$

Substitute the values in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(8-2)^{2}+(0+2)^{2}}$

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

$dAC=2\sqrt{10}\ units$

Step $4$

<u>Find the distance DC</u>

$D(0, 2),C(0, 8)$

Substitute the values in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(8-2)^{2}+(0-0)^{2}}$

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

$dDC=6\ units$

Step $5$

<u>Find the perimeter of the triangle</u>

$P=AB+BC+AC$

substitute the values

$P=8\ units+6\sqrt{2}\ units+2\sqrt{10}\ units$

$P=22.81\ units$

therefore

The perimeter of the triangle is equal to $22.81\ units$

Step $6$

<u>Find the area of the triangle</u>

$A=\frac{1}{2}*base *heigth$

in this problem

$base=AB=8\ units\\heigth=DC=6\ units$

substitute the values

$A=\frac{1}{2}*8*6$

$A=24\ units^{2}$

therefore

the area of the triangle is $24\ units^{2}$

Show that 3650 is not a perfect square.

KatRina [158]

Answer:

A number that is a perfect square never ends in 2, 3, 7 or 8. If your number ends in any of those numbers, you can stop here because your number is not a perfect square. Obtain the digital root of the number. The digital root essentially is the sum of all of the digits.

Step-by-step explanation:

hope this helps you super sorry if it does not
