Your answer is 140
so yeah i have to keep typing because its too short and im done
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
the equation of a circle in standard form is
(x - h)² + (y - k )² = r²
where (h, k ) are the coordinates of the centre and r is the radius
given
x² + y² - 8x + 8y + 23 = 0
collect the x and y terms together and subtract 23 from both sides
x² - 8x + y² + 8y = - 23
using the method of completing the square
add ( half the coefficient of the x / y terms )² to both sides
x² + 2(- 4)x + 16 + y² + 2(4)y + 16 = - 23 + 16 + 16
(x - 4)² + (y + 4)² = 9 ← in standard form
with centre = (4, - 4 ) and r =
= 3
this is shown in graph b
Hey, here’s your answer :)
The answer that I got was side WX = 12 inches
It says that WY is congruent to XY which means that they are the same. That means that XY is also 3m-4. It also says that the perimeter of the triangle is 76 inches.
With this information I set up an equation:
3m-4 + 3m-4 +m = 76
(The number on the right side is the perimeter given to us in the problem and the numbers on the left side are the 3 side lengths).
I combined like terms on the left side and ended up with:
7m-8=76
I added 8 to both sides of the equation and got 7m=84.
Finally I divided both sides by 7 and got m=12
m is equivalent to side WX..
Hope this helps!
