You are not correct, the right answer should be 5-2 square root symbol. I couldn't find out how to put one there.
<h3><u>Given</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>
- Perimeter of parallelogram = 66 ft
<h3><u>To</u><u> </u><u>find</u><u> </u><u>out</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>
Find the longest side of a parallelogram.
<h3><u>Formula</u><u> </u><u>used</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>
Perimeter of parallelogram = 2 ( a + b )
<h3>
<u>Solution:-</u><u> </u></h3>
We know that,
Perimeter of parallelogram = 2 ( a + b )
★ Substituting the values in the above formula,we get:
⇒ 66 = 2 ( 3x + 1 + 2x - 3 )
⇒ 66 = 2 ( 5x - 2 )
⇒ 66/2 = 5x - 2
⇒ 33 = 5x - 2
⇒ 5x - 2 = 33
⇒ 5x = 33 + 2
⇒ 5x = 35
⇒ x = 35/5
⇒ x = 7 ft
Now,
One side,a = 3x + 1
★ Putting the value of x
⇒ 3 × 7 + 1
⇒ 21 + 1
⇒ 22 ft
Other side,b = 2x - 3
★ Putting the value of x
⇒ 2 × 7 - 3
⇒ 14 - 3
⇒ 11 ft
Hence,the longest Side of given parallelogram is 22 ft ( 3x + 1 ) .
The correct answer is A) y = -3x - 1
In order to find this, start by using the two points on the line to find the slope.
m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (-4 - 2)/(1 - -1)
m = -6/2
m = -3
Since A is the only one with a -3 slope, this is the correct answer.
