Answer:

Alberto is incorrect. Perimeter is 42 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The vertices of the triangle are S(-6.5, -8.5), T(2.5, -8.5),U(2.5, 3.5), \textrm{ and } V(-6.5, 3.5).

Perimeter of a triangle of length l and width b is given as:

P=2(l+b)

Here, l=ST,b=TU

Distance between two points A(x_{1},y_{1}) and B(x_{1},y_{2}) is given as:

AB=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}}

So, the length ST is,

l=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}}\\l=\sqrt{(2.5-(-6.5))^{2}+(-8.5-(-8.5))^{2}}\\l=\sqrt{9^{2}+0}=9

Width TU is,

b=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}}\\b=\sqrt{(2.5-2.5))^{2}+(3.5-(-8.5))^{2}}\\b=\sqrt{0+12^{2}}=12

Therefore, the perimeter is given as:

Perimeter = 2(l+b)=2(9+12)=2(21)=42 units.

Hence, the perimeter written by Alberto is incorrect as perimeter is not 18 units bu 42 units.

Find the perimeter of a rectangle with length 7x - 2 and width 5x^2 + 1.
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

10x^2 + 14x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

So for the perimeter, you have to solve 2(7x-2) + 2(5x^2+1)

So distribute the 2s on both s we get 14x - 4 + 10x^2 + 2

This in standard form is 10x^2 + 14x - 2

Evaluate log (0.3).<br> Round your answer to the nearest thousandth.
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

-0.523

Step-by-step explanation:

log(a/b)=loga-logb

log (0.3) can be written as log (3/10).

=log(3/10)

=log3-log10

=0.477-1 (log3=0.477 and log10=1)

= -0.523

a diamond ring was reduced from $799.99 to $499.99 find the percent decrease in the price round the answer to the nearest tenth
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

The price was reduced by about 53%

Step-by-step explanation:

Per cent of change = (amount of change) ÷ (original amount)

% change = (799.99 - 375.99)/799.99

= 424 / 799

= .5300

= 53 %
