You're going to need to use Pythagoras' theorem to work this one out!

As you know, the perimeter of a triangle is just all the lengths of the sides added up.

We'll start with side AC first. We can see that A is (-8, -4) and C is (-6, -2). That means to get from A to C, we need to go 2 units to the right, and 2 units up. Which means we have our two sides to work out the length from Pythagoras' theorem. 2² + 2² = c², c = √8.

Now we'll move onto side AB. We already know A is (-8, -4) from above, and B is (-7, -8). That means to get from A to B, we have to go 4 units down, and 1 unit to the right. So once again: 4² + 1² = c², c = √17.

Lastly, we'll work out side BC. We know that B is (-7, -8) and C is (-6, -2). That means to get to C from B, we have to go 1 unit to the right and 6 units up. So, again: 1² + 6² = c², c = √37.

Now that we have all of our lengths, we simply just add them up!

√8 + √17 + √37 ≈ 13.03 units.

(I've also attached something to help you visualise how I worked it out.)

Mai gave half of her brownies, and then half a brownie more, to Kiran. Then she gave half of what was left,
givi [52]

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

all we know is that she had 1 brownie at the end, in the end she gave half her brownie to tyler, so add one who will get 1 1/2, before that she split her brownies between her friends, so multiply 1 1/2 by 2 and you will get 3, before that she gave 1/2 a brownie to Kiran, so we would add 1/2 to 3 and get 3 1/2, before that she first split it in half for a her friends, so at last,  multiply 3 1/2 by 2 and you will geet 7 as your final answer.

2.8y + 6 +0.2 y =5y -14
serious [3.7K]
2.8y + 6 + 0.2y = 5y - 14
(Simplify like terms in first half of equation)
3y + 6 = 5y - 14
(Subtract both sides by 3y)
6 = 2y - 14
(Flip)
2y - 14 = 6
(Add both sides by 14)
2y = 20
(Divide both sides by 2)
y=10
