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

Find an equation for the nth term of the arithmetic sequence. <br> -3, -5, -7, -9, ...
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

a(n) = -3 - 2(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The most general formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence (such as this sequence is) is

a(n) = a(1) + c(n-1), where c is the common difference.

Here a(1) = -3 and c = -2.

Thus,

a(n) = -3 - 2(n-1).

A cylindrical basket has a volume of 15 cubic feet. If the height of the basket is 1.5 feet, what is the area of the base of the
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

10 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the volume of a uniform cylinder may be defined by the formula:

Volume = Base Area x Height

In our case we are given

Volume = 15 ft³ and Base Area = 1.5 ft

Substituting these known values into the formula gives:

Volume = Base Area x Height

15 = Base Area x 1.5

Base Area = 15 / 1.5

Base Area = 10 ft²
