Answer:
Option C. 4(20-16y): Each side measures 20-16y units.
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The perimeter of a square is equal to
where
b is the length side of the square
we have
substitute the given value in the formula
solve for b
Divide by 4 both sides
Rewrite the expression
<em>Alternative Method</em>
we have
Factor 4
so
Each side measures (20-16y) units.
Answer: < -4/5, 3/5>
This is equivalent to writing < -0.8, 0.6 >
======================================================
Explanation:
Draw an xy grid and plot the point (-4,3) on it. Draw a segment from the origin to this point. Then draw a vertical line until reaching the x axis. See the diagram below.
We have a right triangle with legs of 4 and 3. The hypotenuse is through use of the pythagorean theorem.
We have a 3-4-5 right triangle.
Therefore, the vector is 5 units long. This is the magnitude of the vector.
Divide each component by the magnitude so that the resulting vector is a unit vector pointing in this same direction.
Therefore, we go from < -4, 3 > to < -4/5, 3/5 >
This is equivalent to < -0.8, 0.6 > since -4/5 = -0.8 and 3/5 = 0.6
Side note: Unit vectors are useful in computer graphics.
