Answer:

<u>Perimeter </u>

\bf \boxed{7+\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{8}+\sqrt{10}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw the polygon to have an idea of what you are being asked.

<h3>See picture attached </h3>

Now find the length of each side and add them up, that is the perimeter.

To find the length of a side use the formula of the distance between to points (a,b) and (c,d)

\bf \sqrt{(a-c)^2+(b-d)^2}

<u>Distance between (-2,1) and (-3,3) </u>

\bf \sqrt{(-2-(-3))^2+(1-3)^2}=\sqrt{5}

<u>Distance between  (-3,3) and (-1,5) </u>

\bf \sqrt{(-3-(-1))^2+(3-5)^2}=\sqrt{8}

<u>Distance between  (-1,5) and (2,4) </u>

\bf \sqrt{(-1-2)^2+(5-4)^2}=\sqrt{10}

<u>Distance between (2,4) and (2,1) (obviously 3) </u>

\bf \sqrt{(2-2)^2+(4-1)^2}=3

<u>Distance between (2,1) and (-2,1) (obviously 4) </u>

\bf \sqrt{(-2-2)^2+(1-1)^2}=4

Add up all the lengths

\bf \sqrt{5}+\sqrt{8}+\sqrt{10}+3+4

<u>Perimeter </u>

\bf \boxed{7+\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{8}+\sqrt{10}}

Answer:

 IS a parallelogram

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope formula for the slope of the line between points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is ...

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

The distance formula for the length of that same line is ...

  d = √((x2 -x1)^2 +(y2 -y1)^2)

Here, you're asked to use each of these formulas 4 times, once for each side of the quadrilateral. I find it convenient to let a calculator or spreadsheet do the repetitive calculations. The result is attached.

The attachment shows that opposites sides have the same length and slope, so are parallel. The quadrilateral is a parallelogram. (The two points used in each calculation are the ones on the result line and the line immediately below. That is why point B is copied to the end of the list.)

_____

<em>Additional comments</em>

There are much simpler ways to prove the figure is a parallelogram. My favorite is to add the coordinates of the end points of the diagonals:

  B +D = (-2+6, -9-3) = (4, -12)

  C +E = (0+4, -5-7) = (4, -12)

These values being the same demonstrates the midpoints of the diagonals are coincident. That will only be the case if the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.

__

If you must use slope and distance formulas, showing either pair of opposite sides is parallel and have the same length is sufficient to guarantee that the other two sides are also parallel and have the same length. That is, the calculations required in this problem only need to be applied to one pair of opposite sides. (Using a spreadsheet, it's not a lot of extra work to do the calculations for both pairs of opposite sides.)

Determine the mean of the data. Round to the nearest tenth. 6, 9, 15, 22, 30, 36
pshichka [43]
To find the mean you add all the numbers and divide it by the amount of numbers there is so add
6+9+15+22+30+36=118 
there is 6 number so divide 118 by 6
118/6=<span>19.6666666667 rounded to the nearest tenth it would be 20
So your mean would be 20 
let me know if you have any questions</span>
