Answer:

11.1 units

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve for this using the formula when using coordinates (x1 , y1) and (x2, y2)

= √(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²

A(5,2), B(5,4), and C(1,1).

For AB = √(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²

= A(5,2), B(5,4)

= √(5 - 5)² +(4 - 2)²

= √ 0² + 2²

= √4

= 2 units

For BC = √(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²

= B(5,4), C(1,1)

= √(1 - 5)² +(1 - 4)²

= √ -4² + -3²

= √16 + 9

= √25

= 5 units

For AC = √(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²

A(5,2), C(1,1)

= √(1 - 5)² + (1 - 2)²

= √-4² + -1²

= √16 + 1

= √17

= 4.1231056256 units

The Formula for the Perimeter of Triangle = Side AB + Side BC + Side AC

= 2 units + 5 units + 4.1231056256 units

= 11.1231056256 units.

Approximately the Perimeter of a Triangle to the nearest tenth = 11.1units

BRAINLIEST ANSWER!! ASAP<br><br> 3(x+1)+6=-9<br> PLEASE EXPLAIN HOW YOU GOT THE ANSWER

Kryger [21]

Answer:

x=-6

Step-by-step explanation:

use distributive property on the () and times x and 1 by three

then you subtract 6 from both sides

then subtract three from both sides

then divide both sides by 3

your work would look like this:

3(x+1)+6=-9

3x+3+6=-9

3x+3=-15

3x=-18

x=-6

Hope this helps!

sheldon bought 4 1/2 kg of plant food. he uses 1 2/3 kg on his strawberry plant and used 1/4 kg for his tomato plant. how many k

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

Sheldon have left $2\frac{7}{12}\ kg$ of food.

Step-by-step explanation:

Quantity of food = $4\frac{1}{2}=\frac{9}{2}$ kg

Quantity used on strawberry plant = $1\frac{2}{3} = \frac{5}{3}\ kg$

Quantity used on tomato plant = $\frac{1}{4}\ kg$

Food left = Total - used on strawberry - used on tomato

Food left = $\frac{9}{2}-\frac{5}{3}-\frac{1}{4}$

Food left = $\frac{54-20-3}{12} = \frac{31}{12}$

Food left = $2\frac{7}{12}\ kg$

Therefore,

Sheldon have left $2\frac{7}{12}\ kg$ of food.

Jessie recently drove to visit her parents who live 240240 miles away. On her way there her average speed was 2525 miles per hou

dusya [7]

Answer:

The speed/rate to her parent's house is x = 75 mph

The speed/rate from her parent's house is y = 50 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Distance to her parent's house = 240 miles

Total distance travelled (to and fro) = 240×2 = 480 miles

Total time taken t = 8 hours

On her way there her average speed was 25 miles per hour faster than on her way home (she ran into some bad weather)

Let x and y represent her speed to and from her parent's house respectively.

x = y+25 ......1

The time taken to her parent's house is;

time = distance/velocity

t1 = 240/x = 240/(y+25)

The time taken from her parent's house is;

time = distance/velocity

t2 = 240/y

Total time taken t = t1 +t2

t = 240/(y+25) + 240/y = 8

Solving for y ;

(240y + 240(y+25))/(y^2 +25y) = 8

Cross multiply;

240y + 240y+6000 = 8y^2 + 200y

480y +6000 = 8y^2 + 200y

8y^2 + 200y -480y -6000 = 0

8y^2 - 280y - 6000 = 0

Divide through by 8;

y^2 - 35y - 750 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation;

y = 50

y = -15

Velocity cannot be negative, so y = 50mph

From equation 1;

x = y+25

Substituting y =50

x = 50 + 25

x = 75 mph

The speed/rate to her parent's house is x = 75 mph

The speed/rate from her parent's house is y = 50 mph
