The other answer was using the formula correctly through most of the problem, but made a mistake when finding the last distance (#5). The person took away (-2-6 = - 4), which is incorrect. The correct answer is -8 because your adding two negatives. So, the correct answer for the whole problem is 24 units.

Good job to the person who answer they did the whole math problem - just made a little mistake at the end.

First we need the distances of the sides of the polygon, because perimeter = sum of all sides.
d =  \sqrt{{(y2 - y1)}^{2} + {(x2 - x1)}^{2} }
d1 =  \sqrt{{(1 - 4)}^{2} + {( - 2 -  - 2)}^{2} } \\  =  \sqrt{{(- 3)}^{2} + {(0)}^{2} } =  \sqrt{9}  \: = 3
d2 = \sqrt{{(4 - 7)}^{2} + {( - 2 - 2)}^{2} } \\  = \sqrt{{(- 3)}^{2} + {( -4)}^{2} } =  \sqrt{9 + 16}  \\  =  \sqrt{25}  \: = 5
d3 \: = \sqrt{{(7 - 4)}^{2} + {(2 - 6)}^{2} } \\  =  \sqrt{{(3)}^{2} +  {( - 4)}^{2} } =  \sqrt{9 + 16}  \\  =  \sqrt{25} \:  = 5
d4 = \sqrt{{(4 - 1)}^{2} + {(6 - 6)}^{2} } \\  =  \sqrt{ {(3)}^{2} +  {(0)}^{2}  }  =  \sqrt{9} \:  = 3
d5 = \sqrt{{(1 - 1)}^{2} + {(-2 - 6)}^{2} }  \\ =  \sqrt{ {(0)}^{2} +  {( - 4)}^{2}} =  \sqrt{16}  \:  = 4
Now, we add all sides for the perimeter:
p = d1 + d2 + d3 + d4 + d5
p = 3+5+5+3+4 = 20 units

What is the area of triangle ABC?
Alja [10]

Answer:

200 sq units

Step-by-step explanation:

As you might know, 3 angles of a triangle adds up to 180*. Since you already know the angles are 60* there is one more 60*. So by this you know that all the sides are equal.

As the given states, one side is 20. So following the standard way to get the area of a triangle b*h/2; 20*20 = 400 / 2 = 200 sq units

15s^11-25s^4 factorised <br><br> plz tell me. :)
saveliy_v [14]

For the numeric part, you'll have to find the GCD of 15 and 25, which is 5. So, we can factor a 5 and we have

5(3s^{11}-5s^4)

As for the literal part, you can factor s^4 because it's the power of s with the smallest denominator. So, we have

5s^4(3s^7-5)

La funcion que representa el beneficio obtenido por una empresa si vende x unidades de uno de sus productos es f(x)= -70x^2+2800
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

La función es

f(x)=-70x^2+2800x-45000

Diferenciando con respecto a x obtenemos

f'(x)=-140x+2800

Igualar con cero

0=-140x+2800\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{2800}{140}\\\Rightarrow x=20

Doble derivada de la función

f''(x)=-140

Entonces, la función es máxima cuando el número de unidades vendidas,  x=20,
