Answer:

12 units

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the perimeter of this triangle is 23 units. Since the perimeter of a triangle is the sum of its three sides, we right this sum using for each side the expression that they show in the picture.

Perimeter =(3x-5)+(2x+1)+4x=23\\3x-5+2x+1+4x=23\\9x-4=23\\9x=23+4\\9x=27\\x=\frac{27}{9} =3

Therefore, the value of the unknown "x" which appears in the expressions for all of the three sides, is 3 units.

Then, the side: 3x-5 = 3(3)-5 = 9-5 = 4 units

the side 2x+1 = 2(3)+1 = 6+1 = 7 units

and the side 4x = 4(3) = 12 units (therefore this is the longest side).

In the coordinate plane, the x axis (y=0) and y axis (x=0) are perpendicular. The product of the slopes of two perpendicular lin
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes is equal to -1)

In the coordinate plane, the x axis (y=0) and y axis (x=0) are perpendicular

however

this definition does not apply to the lines y=0 and x=0.

because

The slope of the horizontal line y=0 is equal to zero and the slope of the vertical line x=0 is undefined
