I'm having a hard time with this. A new housing development extends 4 miles in one direction, makes a right turn, and then con-

tinues for 3 miles. A new road runs between the beginning and ending points of the development. What is the perimeter of the triangle formed by the homes and the road? What is the area of the housing development?

Answer:

perimeter = 12 miles

area = 6 square miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it makes a right triangle, use the Pythagorean Formula.

3^2+4^2=c^2

9+16=c^2

25=c^2

5=c, so the hypotenuse of the right triangle is 5.

Perimeter = 3+4+5 = 12 miles

area = 1/2bh (1/2 base times height)

=1/2x3x4

=6

Area = 6 square miles

Simplify the expression (k2)4
lilavasa [31]

4 times 2= 8. so, 4times k2 = k8. To understand this better, imagine that k equaled 2. That would make the expression above = (2x2)4, which would equal 16. However, since we don't know the value of k, we have to use the numbers that we already have, It would be like solving the expression: (2x2)4 without multiplying the first 2. It would then be 2x8. So, we just simplified it, we didn't solve it.

Which expressions are equivalent to 5 x-15? Select three options.
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

b) 5 (x-3)\\c) 4 x + 3 y-15- 3 y + x\\e) -20 - 3 x + 5 + 8 x

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following expression in the question:

5x-15

a)

5 (x + 15)\\=5(x) + 5(15)\\=5x + 75

which is not equivalent to the given expression.

b)

5 (x-3)\\=5(x)-3(5)\\=5x-15

which is equivalent to the given expression

c)

4 x + 3 y-15- 3 y + x\\=4x+x+3y-3y-15\\=5x-15\\=5(x-3)

which is equivalent to the given expression.

d)

-7 y-6 x- 8 y + x\\=-7y-8y-6x+x\\=-15y-5x\\=-5(x+3y)

which is not equivalent to the given expression.

e)

-20 - 3 x + 5 + 8 x\\=-3x+8x-20+5\\=5x-15

which is equivalent to the given expression.
