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

Which table has greater constant of proportionality?
marissa [1.9K]

The table with greater proportionality is table 3.

<h3>What is constant proportionality?</h3>

The constant of proportionality is the ratio between two directly proportional quantities.

As, the constant proportionality is

k= y/x

For table 1,

k = 1/1 = 2/2 =1

For table 2,

k = 6/1= 12/2 = 2

For table 3,

k = 5/1 = 10/2 = 5

For table 4,

k = 4/1 = 8/2 = 4

Hence, table 3 is with greater proportionality.

Solve by Elimination:<br> 8x + 6y = -5<br> 10x + 6y= -13
jonny [76]

Answer:

x= -4 and y= 27/6

Step-by-step explanation:

-(8x + 6y = -5) which converts to -8x -6y = 5

10x + 6y = -13

simplify from there

-8x + 10x = 2x ; -6y + 6y = 0 ; 5 - 13 = -8

soo, now you have

2x = -8

x = -4

then, plug in to find y

8(-4) + 6y = -5

-32 + 6y = -5   add 32 on both sides

6y = 27    divide both sides by 6

y= 27/6 or 4.5
