Answer

14.8 units

Explanations

First find the lengths of the triangle.

YX = √(2²+5²) = √(4+25) =√29

YZ = √(2²+3²) = √(4+9) = √13

XZ = √(5²+3²) =√(25+9) = √34

Perimeter = √29 + √13 + √34

= 14.82 units

The two bigger sides measure 6 units according to the image and the smallest on 3 units.

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the sides:

6 + 6 + 3 = 15

The answer is the third option, closest one to 15 units.

Hope it helped,

Happy homework/ study/ exam!

IM GIVING 20 POINTS. Help me with this please. it would be very helpful.

Talja [164]

Solution:

hypotenuse=p

perpendicular=m

base=n

According to Pythagoras theorem,

h^2=p^2+b^2

So the right answer of your question is m^2+n^2=p^2

Right answer is of option A.

Hope it helps....

Good luck on your assignment

7. Your friend is standing on top of a building, which is 130 ft. above the ground, looking down at a tree that is 40 ft. away f

oee [108]

I think you just divide the 130 ft by the 40 ft = 3.25 ??

There are 36 pencils in 6 packs. Igor wants to know how many pencils are in 1 pack. Elsa wants to know how many pencils are in 3

IgorC [24]

Answer:

6 pencils

18 pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

36 pencils are in 6 packs

Number of packs = 6

Number of pencils = 36

Number of pencils per pack :

Number of pencils / number of packs :

36 / 6 = 6

Hence, 6 pencils per pack

Number of pencils in 3 packs :

Since 6 pencils are in a pack ;

Then, 3 packs = (3 * 6) = 18 pencils

Prove :

Sauron [17]

Answer:

See Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to verify the equation:

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{\sec\alpha+1}-\frac{\cos\alpha}{\sin^2\alpha}=\frac{\cos\alpha }{\sin^2\alpha }-\frac{1}{\sec\alpha -1}$

We can convert sec(α) to 1 / cos(α):

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{1/\cos\alpha+1}-\frac{\cos\alpha}{\sin^2\alpha}=\frac{\cos\alpha }{\sin^2\alpha }-\frac{1}{\sec\alpha -1}$

Multiply both layers of the first fraction by cos(α):

$\displaystyle \frac{\cos\alpha}{1+\cos\alpha}-\frac{\cos\alpha}{\sin^2\alpha}=\frac{\cos\alpha }{\sin^2\alpha }-\frac{1}{\sec\alpha -1}$

Create a common denominator. We can multiply the first fraction by (1 - cos(α)):

$\displaystyle \frac{\cos\alpha(1-\cos\alpha)}{(1+\cos\alpha)(1-\cos\alpha)}-\frac{\cos\alpha}{\sin^2\alpha}=\frac{\cos\alpha }{\sin^2\alpha }-\frac{1}{\sec\alpha -1}$

Simplify:

$\displaystyle \frac{\cos\alpha(1-\cos\alpha)}{1-\cos^2\alpha}-\frac{\cos\alpha}{\sin^2\alpha}=\frac{\cos\alpha }{\sin^2\alpha }-\frac{1}{\sec\alpha -1}$

From the Pythagorean Identity, we know that cos²(α) + sin²(α) = 1 or equivalently, 1 - cos²(α) = sin²(α). Substitute:

$\displaystyle \frac{\cos\alpha(1-\cos\alpha)}{\sin^2\alpha}-\frac{\cos\alpha}{\sin^2\alpha}=\frac{\cos\alpha }{\sin^2\alpha }-\frac{1}{\sec\alpha -1}$

Subtract:

$\displaystyle \frac{\cos\alpha(1-\cos\alpha)-\cos\alpha}{\sin^2\alpha}=\frac{\cos\alpha}{\sin^2\alpha}-\frac{1}{\sec\alpha-1}$

Distribute:

$\displaystyle \frac{\cos\alpha-\cos^2\alpha-\cos\alpha}{\sin^2\alpha}=\frac{\cos\alpha}{\sin^2\alpha}-\frac{1}{\sec\alpha-1}$

Rewrite:

$\displaystyle \frac{(\cos\alpha)-(\cos^2\alpha+\cos\alpha)}{\sin^2\alpha}=\frac{\cos\alpha}{\sin^2\alpha}-\frac{1}{\sec\alpha-1}$

Split:

$\displaystyle \frac{\cos\alpha}{\sin^2\alpha}-\frac{\cos^2\alpha+\cos\alpha}{\sin^2\alpha}=\frac{\cos\alpha}{\sin^2\alpha}-\frac{1}{\sec\alpha-1}$

Factor the second fraction, and substitute sin²(α) for 1 - cos²(α):

$\displaystyle \frac{\cos\alpha}{\sin^2\alpha}-\frac{\cos\alpha(\cos\alpha+1)}{1-\cos^2\alpha}=\frac{\cos\alpha}{\sin^2\alpha}-\frac{1}{\sec\alpha-1}$

Factor:

$\displaystyle \frac{\cos\alpha}{\sin^2\alpha}-\frac{\cos\alpha(\cos\alpha+1)}{(1-\cos\alpha)(1+\cos\alpha)}=\frac{\cos\alpha}{\sin^2\alpha}-\frac{1}{\sec\alpha-1}$

Cancel:

$\displaystyle \frac{\cos\alpha}{\sin^2\alpha}-\frac{\cos\alpha}{(1-\cos\alpha)}=\frac{\cos\alpha}{\sin^2\alpha}-\frac{1}{\sec\alpha-1}$

Divide the second fraction by cos(α):

$\displaystyle \frac{\cos\alpha}{\sin^2\alpha}-\frac{1}{\sec\alpha-1}=\displaystyle \frac{\cos\alpha}{\sin^2\alpha}-\frac{1}{\sec\alpha-1}$

Hence proven.

Find the values of x and y. Write your answers in simplest form.

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have given an equation, you see the x and y in it. Just taking second equation and think any common factor between x's variable. With common factor, multiply both and you will find the value of y and put it in any equation, you will find the value of X.
