Given, the plot is in the shape of triangle.

First side = x meter

Second side = ( 5x-3 )meters

Third side = ( 7x-6 ) meters

Perimeter of triangle is equal to the sum of all the three sides.

Perimeter = x + (5x-3) + (7x-6)

Combine like terms by adding all the x terms together and all the constant terms together.

Perimeter = (x+5x+7x) + ( -3 -6 )

Perimeter = 13x - 9 feet ... Answer

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

  C.  18 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the sides of the triangle shown is 12 : 15 = 4 : 5. We know it is a right triangle, so we know the missing side length completes the ratio

  3 : 4 : 5 = 9 : 12 : 15

Half of XY is 9 cm, so the length of the entire chord is 18 cm.

_____

The chord is tangent to the inner circle, so makes a 90° angle with the radius to that tangent point. This tells you that the triangle shown is a right triangle. It also tells you that the short radius bisects the chord. The Pythagorean theorem can be used to find the length of the side not shown (half the chord length).

The unknown side (a) can be found from  ...

  15² = 12² +a²

  225 -144 = a² . . . . . . subtract 12²

  81 = a² . . . . . . . . . . .  simplify

  9 = a . . . . . . . . . . . . . take the square root

The chord length is 2a, so is ...

  2(9 cm) = 18 cm . . . . length of chord XY

A computer store has certain software on sale at 3 for $20.00, with a limit of 3 at the sale price. Additional
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

a) y = 9.95(x-3) + 20.00

b) Cost of 5 software packages = $39.90

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Cost of 3 software at sale = $20

Cost of regular = $9.95

Let,

x be the number of software purchased.

We will subtract 3 from x because they cost $20.

y be the total cost.

y = 9.95(x-3)+ 20.00

Putting x=5 in expression

y = 9.95(5-3) + 20.00

y = 2(9.95) + 20.00

y = 19.90 + 20.00

y = $39.90

Hence,

a) y = 9.95(x-3) + 20.00

b) Cost of 5 software packages = $39.90
