What is the perimeter of triangle ABC?

Mathematics
1 answer:
kkurt [141]3 years ago
7 0

Option B:

The perimeter of ΔABC is 28 units.

Solution:

AD = 5, DC = 6 and AB = 8

AD and AE are tangents to a circle from an external point A.

BE and BF are tangents to a circle from an external point B.

CD and CF are tangents to a circle from an external point C.

<em>Tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are equal in length.</em>

⇒ AD = AE, BE = BF and CD = CF

AE = 5

AE + BE = AB

5 + BE = 8

Subtract 5 from both sides.

BE = 3

BE = BF

⇒ BF = 3

CD = CF

⇒ CF = 6

Perimeter of the polygon = AE + BE + BF + CF + CD + AD

                                         = 5 + 3 + 3 + 6 + 6 + 5

                                         = 28

The perimeter of ΔABC is 28 units.

Option B is the correct answer.

What is the equation to a graph with the vertex -1,3 and zeros -4 and -2
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

f(x)=x^2+6x+8

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given zeros as x=-4, x=-2

so, we can set up function as

f(x)=a(x+4)(x+2)

Vertex is at (-1,3)

It means that graph passes through point (-1,3)

so, we can plug x=-1 and f(x)=3

and then we can solve for 'a'

3=a(-1+4)(-1+2)

we get

a=1

now, we can plug it back

and we get

f(x)=1(x+4)(x+2)

now, we can simplify it

f(x)=x^2+6x+8

How do i graph fractions? <br>please help
MissTica
Actually it's 
y = \frac{x+4}{3}

it's a line. so 2 points is enough

choose x so that x+4 would be divisible by 3 :)
1) x = 2, then y = (2+6) / 3 = 2 - sketch point (2,2)
2) x = 5, then y = (5+4) / 3 = 3 - sketch point (5,3)
3) line goes though those points. use ruler :)
