What is the perimeter of the triangle shown on the coordinate plane, to the nearest tenth of a unit?
1 answer:
A geometry app shows lengths that add up to 27.4 units.
The Pythagorean theorem can be used to find the lengths of the segments. Each length is the square root of the sum of squares of the difference in x-coordinates and the difference in y-coordinates.
segment AB: length = √(3²+8²) = √73 ≈ 8.544
segment BC: length = √(7²+4²) = √65 ≈ 8.062
segment CA: length = √(10²+4²) = √116 ≈ 10.770
Then the total perimeter is the sum of these lengths:
... 8.544 +8.062 +10.770 = 27.376 ≈ 27.4 . . . . units

Answer:
horizontal.
Step-by-step explanation:
it goes straight up
1.) First plug in the values for m and A:
-->
Isolate b:
b = 1999
So your answer is the first option.
2.) Admission costs $5.25, so even if you don't go on any rides, you will still have to pay $5.25. This means that for this problem, 5.25 will be the b value. If each ride costs $2.50, then this means it is $2.50x for the cost of x rides. The total cost will then be .
