This is a very interesting problem.  What makes it so interesting is that
there's so little actual math to it.  The only big Math thing you need to know
in order to work with this question is the definition of "perimeter".

  "Perimeter" means

                 "the distance all the way around the edge of something".

The problem GIVES you the length of all the sides of both triangles.
To find the perimeter of one triangle, just take the lengths of its three
sides and addum up.

The perimeter of the blue one is    (7x+7) + (5x-4) + (4x+2)  .
That's it !  That's the perimeter.  Of course, they want you to write
it in simplest form, so you have to clean it up.  Remove all of the
parentheses, add up all the 'x's, and add up all the plain numbers,
and you'll have a short, pretty expression.

Then do the same thing for the red one, and get its perimeter.

In part-b, they want you to find the difference between the two perimeters.
No problem.  Just write  (the blue perimeter) minus (the red perimeter),
and simplify THAT expression.

Now they want the actual perimeters when 'x' is 3.
No big deal.  Just take each separate perimeter, write '3' in place of 'x',
and find the number that the expression becomes.

Just now, looking at the picture without writing anything down,
I got  53  for the blue one and  17  for the red one.
I could easily be wrong, so you definitely have to work them
out for yourself.

Answer:

ASA

Step-by-step explanation:

in the place that I have put some marks on it, they have the same angle; so then they will also have the same third angle; and for the rest you should use ASA.

lord [1]

Answer:

  • r(0) = <0, 100> . . . . . . . .meters
  • r'(0) = <7.071, 7.071> . . . . meters per second

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Initial Position</u>

The problem statement tells us we're measuring position from the ground at the base of the building where the projectile was launched. The initial horizontal position is presumed to be zero. The initial vertical position is said to be 100 meters from the ground, so (in meters) ...

  r(0) = <0, 100>

<u>Initial Velocity</u>

The velocity vector resolves into components in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction. For angle α from the horizontal, the horizontal component of velocity is v₁·cos(α), and the vertical component is v₁·sin(α). For v₁ = 10 m/s and α = π/4, the initial velocity vector (in m/s) is ...

  r'(0) = <10·cos(π/4), 10·sin(π/4)>

  r'(0) ≈ <7.071, 7.071>
