I graphed the vertices and got a triangle but its very hard to solve its perimeter. Therefore, I identified right triangles to help me solve for the perimeter making each side the hypotenuse of each right triangle.
Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²
a = short leg ; b = long leg ; c = hypotenuse 

P(0,0) ; R(-3,4)
a = 3 ; b = 4 ; 
3² + 4² = c²
9 + 16 = c²
25 = c²
√25 = √c²
5 = c

P(0,0) ; Q(8,6)
a = 6 ; b = 8 
6² + 8² = c²
36 + 64 = c²
100 = c²
√100 = √c²
10 = c

Q(8,6) ; R(-3,4)
a = 2 ; b = 11
2² + 11² = c²
4 + 121 = c²
125 = c²
√125 = √c²
11.18 = c

Perimeter = 5 + 10 + 11.18 = 26.18

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

\$12,679.50

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The simple interest formula is equal to

A=P(1+rt)

where

A is the Final Investment Value

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested

r is the rate of interest  

t is Number of Time Periods

in this problem we have

t=11\ years\\ P=\$7,900\\r=5.5\%=5.5/100=0.055

substitute in the formula above

A=7,900(1+0.055*11)

A=7,900(1.605)

A=\$12,679.50

You are having a conference call with the CEO of a paper company. You have interpreted the number of trees cut down versus profi
loris [4]
You can only cut down a integer number of trees. So you might look at a few integer values for x. As x get large the –x4 term dominates the expression for big losses. x = 0 is easy P(x) = -6. Without cutting any trees you have lost money Put x = 1 and you get for the terms in order  -1 + 1 + 7 -1 -6 = 0. So P(x) crosses zero just before you cut the first tree. So you make a profit on only 1 tree. However when x=10 you are back into no profit. So compute a few values for x = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9.

Not sure how to find what x equals
Llana [10]

Answer:

Its 48 °

Since its a triangle, the total angle will be 180°

So,

x° + 42°+90°=180°(90° as one angle in triangle is 90°)

x°=180°-90°-42°

x°=48°
