A square has two sides on the lines x = 3 and y = 1. It has a vertex at (12,-8). What is the perimeter, in units, of the square?

1 answer:

3 0

The point (12,-8) has the x coordinate of x = 12
Going from x = 3 to x = 12 is a distance of 9 since 12-3 = 9

Therefore this square has a side length of 9 units
There are 4 of these congruent (same length) sides, so 4*9 = 36 is the perimeter

Answer: B) 36
Note: you can use the y coordinate if you want. The distance from y = 1 to y = -8 is also 9 units because 1-(-8) = 1+8 = 9

Question~

Rasek [7]

Answer:

B. 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the first term by $x^a$ , the second term by $x^b$ , the third term by $x^c$ .

The first term becomes:

$x^a/(x^a+x^b+x^c)$

The second term becomes:

$x^b/(x^a+x^b+x^c)$

The third term becomes:

$x^c/(x^a+x^b+x^c)$

Their sum is:

$(x^a+x^b+x^c)/(x^a+x^b+x^c) = 1$

Correct choice is B

That would be option A as the angles and sides ( the AS) have already been stated.

CAN YOU SOLVE THIS MATH PROBLEM 20 POINTS

Zolol [24]

The correct answer is A. x=22

Since the angles of a rectangle are right angles (90 degrees) you would set it up as 90=5x-20. Then combine like terms and solve the equation. (If you need me to show you how step by step tell me)

Take the -3/5 and add it to 1/30 which would equal 19/30, so x= 19/30
