Answer:

Part 1) The perimeter of triangle ABC is 24 units

Part 2) y=97\°

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) we know that

The <u><em>Midpoint Theorem</em></u> states that the segment joining two sides of a triangle at the midpoints of those sides is parallel to the third side and is half the length of the third side

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

so

Applying the midpoint theorem

step 1

Find the value of BC

BC=\frac{1}{2}XY

XY=2AY ---> because A is the midpoint

substitute the given value of AY

XY=2(7)=14\ units

BC=\frac{1}{2}(14)=7\ units

step 2

Find the value of AC

AC=\frac{1}{2}YZ

YZ=2BZ ---> because B is the midpoint

substitute the given value of BZ

YZ=2(8)=16\ units

AC=\frac{1}{2}(16)=8\ units

step 3

Find the value of AB

AB=\frac{1}{2}XZ

substitute the given value of XZ

AB=\frac{1}{2}(18)=9\ units

step 4

Find the perimeter of triangle ABC

P=AB+BC+AC

substitute

P=9+7+8=24\ units

Part 2) Find the measure of angle y

step 1

Find the measure of angle z

we know that

The sum of the interior angles in a triangle must be equal to 180 degrees

so

55\°+42\°+z=180\°

solve for z

97\°+z=180\°

z=180\°-97\°

z=83\°

step 2

Find the measure of angle y

we know that

z+y=180\° ----> by supplementary angles (form a linear pair)

we have

z=83\°

substitute

83\°+y=180\°

solve for y

y=180\°-83\°

y=97\°

Answer:

Por el teorema de 30 grados en un triangulo rectangulo la linea roja es \sqrt{3} veces la longitud del cateto opuesto al angulo de de 30. Por tanto la linea roja será:

l=\sqrt{3}\times3\sqrt{3}=9

Luego

What types of numbers are undefined when they are under a radical sign? If you were dealing with the number √-1, would it be def
Misha Larkins [42]
The square root of a a negative integer is imaginary.
It would still be a negative under a square root if you multiplied it by 2, therefor it will still be imaginary, or I’m assuming as your book calls it, undefined.
2•(sqrt-1) = 2sqrt-1

If you add a number to -1 itself, specifically 1 or greater it will become a positive number or 0 assuming you just add 1. In that case it would be defined.
-1 + 1 = 0
-1 + 2 = 1

If you add a number to the entire thing “sqrt-1” it will not be defined.
(sqrt-1) + 1 = 1+ (sqrt-1)

If you subtract a number it will still have a negative under a square root, meaning it would be undefined.
(sqrt-1) + 1 = 1 + (sqrt-1)

however if you subtract a negative number from -1 itself, you end up getting a positive number or zero. (Subtracting a negative number is adding because the negative signs cancel out).
-1 - -1 = 0
-1 - -2 = 1

If you squared it you would get -1, which is defined
sqrt-1 • sqrt-1 = -1

and if you cubed it, you would get a negative under a square root again, therefor it would be undefined.
sqrt-1 • sqrt-1 • sqrt-1 = -1 • sqrt-1 = -1(sqrt-1)

Sorry if this answer is confusing, I don’t have a scientific keyboard, I’ll get one soon.
