I think you meant to say
(as opposed to <em>x</em> approaching 2)
Since both the numerator and denominator are continuous at <em>t</em> = 2, the limit of the ratio is equal to a ratio of limits. In other words, the limit operator distributes over the quotient:
Because these expressions are continuous at <em>t</em> = 2, we can compute the limits by evaluating the limands directly at 2:
Answer:56.8 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
For perimeter we must find the lengths of the 2 diagonal sides of the triangle which are the same because it is isosceles.
the triangle is cut directly in half so both halves of the base are 17/2
17/2 = 8.5
solve through pythagoren theorum
altitude^2 + (half of base)^2 = (diagonal length)^2
18^2 + (8.5)^2 = (diagonal length)^2
324 + 72.25 = (diagonal length)^2
396.3 = (diagonal length)^2
= diagonal length
diagonal length = 19.9
diagonal length + diagonal length + base = perimeter
19.9 + 19.9 + 17 = perimeter
56.8 inches = perimeter
