Answer:

15.2\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Plot the vertices of the polygon to better understand the problem

we have

A(-2, 1). B(-3, 3), C(-1, 5), D(2, 4),E(2, 1)

using a graphing tool

The polygon is a pentagon (the number of sides is 5)

see the attached figure

The perimeter is equal to

P=AB+BC+CD+DE+AE

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}

step 2

<em>Find the distance AB</em>

A(-2, 1). B(-3, 3)

substitute in the formula

d=\sqrt{(3-1)^{2}+(-3+2)^{2}}

d=\sqrt{(2)^{2}+(-1)^{2}}

d_A_B=\sqrt{5}=2.24\ units

step 3

<em>Find the distance BC</em>

B(-3, 3), C(-1, 5)

substitute in the formula

d=\sqrt{(5-3)^{2}+(-1+3)^{2}}

d=\sqrt{(2)^{2}+(2)^{2}}

d_B_C=\sqrt{8}=2.83\ units

step 4

<em>Find the distance CD</em>

C(-1, 5), D(2, 4)

substitute in the formula

d=\sqrt{(4-5)^{2}+(2+1)^{2}}

d=\sqrt{(-1)^{2}+(3)^{2}}

d_C_D=\sqrt{10}=3.16\ units

step 5

<em>Find the distance DE</em>

D(2, 4),E(2, 1)

substitute in the formula

d=\sqrt{(1-4)^{2}+(2-2)^{2}}

d=\sqrt{(-3)^{2}+(0)^{2}}

d_D_E=\sqrt{9}\ units

d_D_E=3\ units

step 6

<em>Find the distance AE</em>

A(-2, 1).E(2, 1)

substitute in the formula

d=\sqrt{(1-1)^{2}+(2+2)^{2}}

d=\sqrt{(0)^{2}+(4)^{2}}

d_A_E=\sqrt{16}\ units

d_A_E=4\ units

step 7

Find the perimeter

P=AB+BC+CD+DE+AE

substitute the values

P=2.24+2.83+3.16+3+4=15.23\ units

Round to the nearest tenth of a unit

P=15.2\ units

Following one side of a rural road, the house numbers increase by eighteen. The house number of the first house on the road is 8
ad-work [718]

Answer:

<u>Recursive:</u>

a_n=a_{(n-1)}+18\\ \\ a_1=82

<u>Explicit:</u>

a_n=64+18n

Explanation:

<u>1. Sequence:</u>

a_1=82\\ \\ a_2=82+18=100\\ \\ a_3=100+18=118\\ \\ a_4=118+18=136\\ \\ ...

<u>2. Recursive formula</u>

The recursive formula permits to calculate the value of the nth term in the sequence using the (n-1)th term in the sequence.

a_n=a_{(n-1)}+18\\ \\ a_1=82

<u>3. Explicit formula</u>

The explicit formula permits to calculate any value of a term in the sequence:

a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\\ \\ a_n=82+(n-1)18\\ \\ a_n=82+18n-18\\ \\ a_n=64+18n

OleMash [197]

Answer:

Ans; Base=19.799cm

each of the other two sides=14cm

Step-by-step explanation:

two isosceles triangles are going to give you a square. So that means the area of the square will be 2(98cm^2) cos u added two of the triangles.There fore to get each side of the square, find  the square root of the area of the square.you will get 14cm.that is equal to the length of the other two sides of the triangle. the base of the triangle is equal to the diagonals of the square(d=s√2).Use that to find the base of the triangle. Hope this helps.I am not good at explaining though

Dennis decided he wanted to go to the carnival. The carnival charges $6.00 for entry and $1.50 for each ride.
myrzilka [38]

We want to create a linear equation to model the given situation.

A) c(r) = $6.00 + $1.50*r

B) 19 rides.

We know that the carnival charges $6.00 for entry plus $1.50 for each ride.

A) With the given information we can see that if you ride for r rides, then the cost equation will be:

c(r) = $6.00 + $1.50*r

Where c(r) is the cost for going to the carnival and doing r rides.

B) If you have $35.00, then we can solve:

c(r) = $35.00 =  $6.00 + $1.50*r

Now we can solve the equation for r.

$35.00 =  $6.00 + $1.50*r

$35.00 -  $6.00 = $1.50*r

$29.00 = $1.50*r

$29.00/$1.50 = r = 19.33

Rounding to the next whole number we get: r = 19

This means that with $35.00, Dennis could go to 19 rides.
