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

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

14800

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of trapezoid = A=\frac{a+b}{2}h

Using the formula above, our equation will look like this:

\frac{145 + 225}{2} * 80 = 14800

145 + 225 = 370

370/2 = 185

185 * 80 = 14800

A city has 3 new houses for every 9 old houses. If there are 21 new houses in the city, how many old houses are there?
kipiarov [429]
To find your answer you would divide 21 by 3 which would be 7, once you've got 7 you would multiply it by 9 which would give you the amount of old houses that there is which would be 63.
