Answer:

first get a common denominator by multiplying 7 and 4 to get 28

28 is our common denominator here.

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to add the fractions 2/7 and 1/4

(2/7) * (4/4) and (1/4) * (7/7)

(2/7) * (4/4) + (1/4) * (7/7) = 8/28 + 7/28 = 15/28

An isosceles right triangle has a hypotenuse length that can be modeled with the function h(x) = sqaure root of 2 The combined

larisa [96]

The legs are defined by $L(x) = 2x$ . The Hypotenuse if defined by $h(x) = L(x)\cdot \sqrt{2}$ . The perimeter is defined by:

$p(x) = h(x)+2\cdot L(x) \\~\\p(x) = L(x)\cdot\sqrt{2} +2\cdot L(x) \\~\\p(x) = L(x)\cdot\left(\sqrt{2}+2\right) \\~\\p(x) = 2x\cdot\left(\sqrt{2}+2\right) \\~\\p(x)= 2\sqrt{2}x+4x$
