-5 is the original position
The swimmer descends 3 meters, so we subtract 3 or add -3. Thus, the answer is:
-5 + (-3)

What is the perimeter of the trapezoid with vertices Q(8, 8), R(14, 16), S(20, 16), and T(22, 8)? Round to the nearest hundredth

uysha [10]

Answer:

The perimeter of the trapezoid is $38.25\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The perimeter of the trapezoid is the sum of its four side lengths

so

In this problem

$P=QR+RS+ST+QT$

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

$d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}$

we have

$Q(8, 8), R(14, 16), S(20, 16),T(22, 8)$

step 1

Find the distance QR

$Q(8, 8), R(14, 16)$

substitute the values in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(16-8)^{2}+(14-8)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(8)^{2}+(6)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{100}$

$QR=10\ units$

step 2

Find the distance RS

$R(14, 16), S(20, 16)$

substitute the values in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(16-16)^{2}+(20-14)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(0)^{2}+(6)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{36}$

$RS=6\ units$

step 3

Find the distance ST

$S(20, 16),T(22, 8)$

substitute the values in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(8-16)^{2}+(22-20)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(-8)^{2}+(2)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{68}$

$ST=8.25\ units$

step 4

Find the distance QT

$Q(8, 8),T(22, 8)$

substitute the values in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(8-8)^{2}+(22-8)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(0)^{2}+(14)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{196}$

$QT=14\ units$

step 5

Find the perimeter

$P=10+6+8.25+14=38.25\ units$
