Does the choice of the base affect the perimeter of a triangle?

No.
The perimeter is the distance all the way around the triangle.
So it's the sum of the lengths of the three sides.

The sum of three numbers doesn't depend on what order you
add them ... I think that's the 'commutative' property of addition.

So it doesn't matter which side you start with, or even what order
the sides are arranged in. The perimeter is always the same.

Solve the equation by using the quadratic formula. x^2+2x=6

katrin [286]

Answer:

$\Huge \boxed{{x=-1\pm \sqrt{7}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 2x = 6

Subtract both sides by 6.

x² + 2x - 6 = 0

ax²+bx+c=0

a=1, b=2, and c=-6

We can apply the quadratic formula.

$\displaystyle x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

Plug in the values.

$\displaystyle x=\frac{-2\pm\sqrt{2^2-4(1)(-6)}}{2(1)}$

Evaluate.

$\displaystyle x=\frac{-2\pm\sqrt{4-(-24)}}{2}$

$\displaystyle x=\frac{-2\pm\sqrt{28}}{2}$

$\displaystyle x=\frac{-2\pm 2\sqrt{7}}{2}=-1 \pm \sqrt{7}$

Exterior angle theorem <br> what is the value of u? I’m willing to give brainlist!!

KengaRu [80]

Answer: 45

Explanation: two angles that form a Line always equal 180 degrees, so we start with the equation 180-u+47, which is the measure of the missing interior angle measure. All of the angles inside of a triangle also equal 180 degrees, so we can set up this equation to find U:
u-18+u+(180-u+47)=180
We can start to simplify by first simplifying what’s inside the parenthesis:
u-18+u+153-u=180
Then you solve the equation to get
U=45 degrees
