Answer:

The perimeter of triangle PQR is 17 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the triangles PQR and STU

1. PQ ≅ ST = 4 ft (Given)

2. ∠PQR ≅ ∠STU  (Given)

3. QR ≅ TU = 6 ft (Given)

Therefore, the two triangles are congruent by SAS postulate.

Now, from CPCTE, PR = SU. Therefore,

3y-2=y+4\\3y-y=4+2\\2y=6\\y=\frac{6}{2}=3

Now, side PR is given by plugging in 3 for 'y'.

PR = 3(3) - 2 = 9 - 2 = 7 ft

Now, perimeter of a triangle PQR is the sum of all of its sides.

Therefore, Perimeter = PQ + QR + PR

                                   = (4 + 6 + 7) ft

                                   = 17 ft

Hence, the perimeter of triangle PQR is 17 ft.

What is the height of a right triangle if its other two sides are 30 centimeters and 10 centimeters long?​
Mila [183]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It depends on whether the 30 cm side is the hypotenuse, or one of the legs.

If the 30 cm side is the hypotenuse, then the third side is √(30^2-10^2) = √800 = 20√2 cm

If the 30 cm side is one of the legs, then the hypotenuse is √(30^2+10^2) = √1,000 = 10√10 cm

Multiply these binomials using foil method (b+3)(b-9)
sleet_krkn [62]
FOIL stands for first, outer, inner, and last.
So, you multiply the first terms together, the outer terms together, the inner terms together, and then the last terms together.
(b+3)(b-9)
b^2-9b+3b-27 Then simplify
b^2-6b-27

A theater group made appearances in two cities. The hotel charge before tax in the second city was $500 lower than in the first.
Rama09 [41]
Pre tax in first city = x
pre tax in 2nd city = x - 500

0.09x + 0.095(x - 500) = 970
0.09x + 0.095x - 47.5 = 970
0.09x + 0.095x = 970 + 47.5
0.185x = 1017.50
x = 1017.50/0.185
x = 5500 <== first city

5500 - 500 = 5000 <== 2nd city
