Answer: Choice D) 8 & 1/8

This is read as "Eight and one-eighth"

======================================================

You want the perimeter so you'll add the three fractions to add up the three side lengths.

1/2 is the same as 4/8 (since 4 is half of 8). You can think of having a cake that is cut up into 8 equal slices. If you take 4 of those slices, then you take half of the cake.

So the value 3&1/2 is the same as 3&4/8. Similarly, 2&1/2 is equivalent to 2&4/8

We want to add the three mixed numbers: 2&1/8, 3&4/8, 2&4/8

Add up the fractional parts: 1/8+4/8+4/8 = (1+4+4)/8 = 9/8 = 1&1/8

The whole part '1' carries over to the other whole parts.

Add up the whole parts: 2+3+2 = 7

Then add in the carry: 7+1 = 8

Overall, the three numbers {2&1/8, 3&4/8, 2&4/8} add up to 8&1/8 which is the final answer (choice D)

Hi!
A is the answer:⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬⏬

The distance around a triangle, better noun as de "perimeter of a triangle"

is the total distance around the outside, which can be found by adding together the length of each side.

Perimeter (P) = Length A + Length B + Lenght C

In this case, we know that each side measure 2 \frac{1}{8}81​ feet, 3 \frac{1}{2}21​ feet, and 2 \frac{1}{2}21​feet  but we have to rewrite each one of this mixed fractions as improper fractions:

2 \frac{1}{8}81​ = \frac{16 + 1}{8}816+1​ = \frac{17}{8}817​   

3 \frac{1}{2}21​ = \frac{6 + 1}{2}26+1​ = \frac{7}{2}27​

2 \frac{1}{2}21​ = \frac{4 + 1}{2}24+1​ = \frac{5}{2}25​

Then we just add all of them to find the perimeter:

 = \frac{17 + 28 + 20}{8}817+28+20​ = \frac{65}{8}865​

A: The distance around a triangle is \frac{65}{8}865​feet

Answer:

\large\boxed{x=0\ and\ x=\pi}

Step-by-step explanation:

\tan^2x\sec^2x+2\sec^2x-\tan^2x=2\\\\\text{Use}\ \tan x=\dfrac{\sin x}{\cos x},\ \sec x=\dfrac{1}{\cos x}:\\\\\left(\dfrac{\sin x}{\cos x}\right)^2\left(\dfrac{1}{\cos x}\right)^2+2\left(\dfrac{1}{\cos x}\right)^2-\left(\dfrac{\sin x}{\cos x}\right)^2=2\\\\\left(\dfrac{\sin^2x}{\cos^2x}\right)\left(\dfrac{1}{\cos^2x}\right)+\dfrac{2}{\cos^2x}-\dfrac{\sin^2x}{\cos^2x}=2

\dfrac{\sin^2x}{(\cos^2x)^2}+\dfrac{2-\sin^2x}{\cos^2x}=2\\\\\text{Use}\ \sin^2x+\cos^2x=1\to\sin^2x=1-\cos^2x\\\\\dfrac{1-\cos^2x}{(\cos^2x)^2}+\dfrac{2-(1-\cos^2x)}{\cos^2x}=2\\\\\dfrac{1-\cos^2x}{(\cos^2x)^2}+\dfrac{2-1+\cos^2x}{\cos^2x}=2\\\\\dfrac{1-\cos^2x}{(\cos^2x)^2}+\dfrac{1+\cos^2x}{\cos^2x}=2

\dfrac{1-\cos^2x}{(\cos^2x)^2}+\dfrac{(1+\cos^2x)(\cos^2x)}{(\cos^2x)^2}=2\qquad\text{Use the distributive property}\\\\\dfrac{1-\cos^2x+\cos^2x+\cos^4x}{\cos^4x}=2\\\\\dfrac{1+\cos^4x}{\cos^4x}=2\qquad\text{multiply both sides by}\ \cos^4x\neq0\\\\1+\cos^4x=2\cos^4x\qquad\text{subtract}\ \cos^4x\ \text{from both sides}\\\\1=\cos^4x\iff \cos x=\pm\sqrt1\to\cos x=\pm1\\\\ x=k\pi\ for\ k\in\mathbb{Z}\\\\\text{On the interval}\ 0\leq x

The measure of angle D in the inscribed triangle is as follows;

∠D = 63 degrees

<h3>How to solve circle theorem?</h3>

The circle theorem can be use to find the ∠D as follows;

The triangle BCD is inscribed in the circle.

Using circle theorem,

The angle of each triangle is double the angle of the arc it create.

Therefore,

arc BC = m∠D

m∠B = 134 / 2 = 67 degrees.

Therefore, using sum of angles in a triangle.

67 + 50 + m∠D = 180

m∠D = 180 - 50 - 67

m∠D = 63 degrees.
