Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If it is a parallelogram the opposite sides will a have the same slope.
Using the diagram we see from the coordinates of A and B:
Slope of AB = (5 - -1)/(-1 - -5)
= 6/4
= 3/2.
In the same way
slope of CD = (2 - -4) / (1 - -3)
= 3/2.
So AB and CD can be shown to be parallel.
Similarly the lines BC and AD are parallel.
So the figure is a parallelogram
Finding the perimeter (counting the units between the points):
Perimeter = 2AB + 2BC
By Pythagoras:
AB = sqrt (6^2 + 4^2) = sqrt 52
BC = sqrt (3^2 + 2^2) = sqrt 13
So Perimeter = 2sqrt52 + 2sqrt13
= 4sqrt13 + 2 sqrt13
= 6sqrt13
or 21.63 unit^2 to 2 decimal places.
Area = sqrt52 * perpendicular distance between the lines AB and CD.
Answer:
12:24
Step-by-step explanation:you simplify the ration to 1:2 and then divide 36 by 3 which is 12 and then times 1x12=12 and 12x2=24 and 24 +12=36
The second side of a triangular deck is 4 feet longer than the shortest side
(s+4) = the 2nd side
and a third side that is 4 feet shorter than twice the length of the shortest side.
(2s-4) = the 3rd side
If the perimeter of the deck is 48 feet, what are the lengths of the three sides?
s + (s+4) + (2s-4) = 48
Combine like terms
s + s + 2s + 4 - 4 = 48
4s = 48
s = 48/4
s = 12 ft is the shortest side
I'll let you find the 2nd and 3rd sides, ensure they add up to 48
Hope this helps!
