I used some site to plot the points. 

First, let's recall the formulas for Perimeter and Area of a Rectangle.
Perimeter = 2(l+w)
Area = l×w
Also, the distance formula is
D = \sqrt{( x_{2}-x_{1})^2+{(y_{2}-y_{1})^2}

Now, we need to determine l and w.
So, the length is the distance of AD or BC
and the width is the distance of DC or AB
(I'll just use the sides that I've labelled for ease)

So first to determine the length, we need to calculate the distance of AD
Points are A(3,8) and D(-6,3) 
x_{1} =3, x_{2} =8, y_{1} =6, y_{2} =-3
D_{AD}= \sqrt{( 6-3)^2+{(-3-8)^2}
D_{AD}= \sqrt{(3)^2+(-11)^2}
D_{AD}= \sqrt{9+121}
D_{AD}= \sqrt{130} ≈ 11.40
So the length of the rectangle is 11.40 units.

Now, the width!
So first to determine the width, we need to calculate the distance of DC
<span>Points are D(-6,3) and C(-4,-1)
</span><span>x_{1} =6, x_{2} =-4, y_{1} =-3, y_{2} =-1
</span>D_{DC}= \sqrt{(-4-6)^2+{(-1- -3)^2}
D_{DC}= \sqrt{(-4-6)^2+{(-1+3)^2}
D_{DC}= \sqrt{(-10)^2+(2)^2}
D_{AD}= \sqrt{100+4}
<span>D_{AD}= \sqrt{104} ≈ 10.20
</span>So the width of the rectangle is ≈<span>10.20 units.
</span>
Let's now solve for Perimeter and Area using
l = 11.40
w = 10.20

Perimeter = 2(l+w)
Perimter = 2(11.40+10.20)
Perimter = 2(21.60)
Perimter = 43.2 units

<span>Area = l×w
</span>Area = (11.40)(10.20)
Area = 116.28 
Area = 116.3 units² (rounding)

In conclusion, given points A(3,8) B(5,4) C(-4,-1) D(-6,3), the Perimeter is 43.2 units and the Area is  ≈<span>116.3 units² using the distance formula. </span>

Type the correct answer in the box.<br><br><br> In this triangle cosA/cosB= blank
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle is a polygon with three sides and three angles. The types of triangles are scalene triangle, equilateral triangle, right angled triangle and obtuse triangle.  

Trigonometric functions are used to show the relationship between the angles of a triangles and the sides of the triangle. For a right angled triangle, the ratio of the sides can be gotten using trigonometric functions such as:

cosθ = adjacent/hypotenuse, sinθ = opposite/hypotenuse, tanθ = opposite/adjacent

Given the right angle triangle:

cos(A) = adjacent / hypotenuse = 3 / 4.24

cos(A) = 3 / 4.25

cos(B) = adjacent / hypotenuse = 3 / 4.24

cos(B) = 3 / 4.24

cos(A) / cos(B) = (3 / 4.24) ÷ (3 / 4.24) = 1

cos(A) / cos(B) = 1

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2. Each time x goes up on the left side 6 is removed from the right side f(x)= F(-6)

3. slope is y = -1/2 x + 4 the formula is y = mx+b so -1/2 x and b is the number that touches the line for y which is 4.

4. every time an x is added on the left side 3 are added on the right side f(3)
