First, you solve the square root:
Knowing that the square root of a negative number doesn't exist:
is your answer.
Hope it helped,
Happy homework/ study/ exam!
(5b)(-3a)
= (5*(-3))(b*a) (combine like terms)
= -15ab
The final answer is -15ab~
Look at the coordinates and trace those points to a corresponding number on the x or y axis. Then write the first number in the coordinate in the x value and the second number for the y value, repeat the process for the rest of the points.
<span>The perimeter is 14.47
Since you have 3 vertices, the polygon you have is a triangle. The sides of the triangle will be XY, XZ, and YZ. Just use the pythagorean theorem to calculate the length of each side and then add the lengths together for the result.
Side XY = sqrt( (-1-3)^2 + (3-0)^2) = sqrt(16+9) = sqrt(25) = 5
Side XZ = sqrt ( (-1-(-1))^2 + (3-(-2))^2) = sqrt(0+25) = sqrt(25) = 5
Side YZ = sqrt( (3-(-1))^2 + (0-(-2))^2) = sqrt(16 + 4) = sqrt(20) = 4.47
Now add the length of each side together
5 + 5 + 4.47 = 14.47</span>
