Answer:
2b^2
Step-by-step explanation:
according to the question equation is
(a^2 + b^2 ) - (a^2 - b^2)
a^2 + b^2 - a^2 + b^2
plus a square and minus a square gets cancel
b^2 + b^2
since they are like terms they can be added
2b^2
Here it is given that the triangles ABP and DCR are similars, therefore we use the ratio rule which states that
corresponding sides of similar triangles are in same proprtion .

that gives
7/10 = BP/11
7*11=10BP
BP=7.7
Again using the ratio rule

7/10 = AP/6
42 = 10AP
AP = 4.2
Perimeter= AB+BP+AP = 7+7.7+4.2 = 18.9
Correct option is A.
9the equation of a line in ' slope- intercept form ' is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )
y = 3x + 1 is in this form
with slope = 3 and y-intercept = 1
the graph crosses the y- axis at ( 0, 1 )
from this point moving 3 units vertically up and 1 unit horizontally right gives the point (1, 4 ) . Repeating this gives the point (2, 7 )
Plot the points (0, 1 ), (1, 4 ) and (2, 7 )
Draw a straight line through them for graph of y = 3x + 1
