To determine the perimeter of the pentagon, you must first calculate a side length of it. Let's name the coordinates A(-1,4) and B(2,3).

To figure out how far the points are from each other, you have to use the distance formula:
D_{AB}  =  \sqrt{( x_{2}-x_{1})^2+{(y_{2}-y_{1})^2}

x_{1} =1, x_{2} =-2, y_{1} =2, y_{2} =3
D_{AB}= \sqrt{(2--1)^2+{(3-4)^2}
D_{AB}= \sqrt{(2--1)^2+{(3-4)^2} 
D_{AB}= \sqrt{(2+1)^2+{(3-4)^2}
D_{AB}= \sqrt{(3)^2+(-1)^2}
D_{AB}= \sqrt{9+1}
D_{AB}= \sqrt{10}

Now, the formula for the perimeter of a pentagon is 
P = 5×side length
 
So...
Perimeter = 5×\sqrt{10}

The answer is (2)

The model represents an inequality. what is the solution set for the inequality?
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

X > (greater than or equal to) -7

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 15 > -6

3x > -21 (subtract 15 from both sides)

X > -7 (divide both sides by 3)

How to factor a quadratic equation and find the vertex?
Jet001 [13]
To convert a quadratic<span> from y = ax</span>2<span> + bx + c form to </span>vertex<span> form, y = a(x - h)</span>2+ k, you use the process of completing the square. Let's see an example. Convert y = 2x2<span>- 4x + 5 into </span>vertex<span> form, and state the </span>vertex<span>.</span>

Factor each completely. <br><br>10a² - 9a + 2 <br><br>​
Sophie [7]

Answer:

a= \frac{2}{5} or \frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Equate the equation to zero

10a^{2}-9a+2=0

10a^{2}-5a-4a+2=0

5a(2a-1)-2(2a-1)=0

Write out the factors

(5a-2)(2a-1)=0

Then equate each factor to zero

5a-2=0 OR 2a-1=0

5a=2  OR  2a=1

a= \frac{2}{5}   OR a= \frac{1}{2}

a=\frac{2}{5} or \frac{1}{2}
