Answer:

16.24 Units

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of the triangle is the sum of the length of the sides of the triangle. Given the points on the vertices, the length of each side may be found using the formula

Length = √(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2

Considering the pair (-1, 2), (3, 1), the length of that side

= √(3 -- 1)^2 + (1-2)^2)

= √(16 + 1)

= √17 units

Considering the pair (-1, 2), (7, 2), the length of that side

= √(7 -- 1)^2 + (2-2)^2)

= √(64)

= 8

Considering the pair  (3, 1),  and (7, 2), the length of that side

= √(7 - 3)^2 + (2  - 1)^2

= √(16 + 1)

= √17

Hence the perimeter of the triangle

= √17 + 8 + √17

= 4.12 + 8 + 4.12

= 16.24 Units

Change the mixed leading number into an improper fraction...a b/c=(ac+b)/c

19/7-7/8  the least common multiple of the denominators is 56 so:

(19/7)(8/8)-(7/8)(7/7)

(152-49)/56

Jackie and Rachel both worked during last summer and made $960 each. Rachel worked 16 hours more than Jackie, but Rachel earned
Pavel [41]

Answer:

The number of hours Jackie worked  = 80hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Last summer:

Jackie made $960

Rachel made $960

let number of hours Jackie worked = x

Rachel worked 16 hours more than Jackie:

Number of hours Rachel worked = x + 16

if Jackie earned $y  per hour

Rachel earned $2 less per hour = y-2

Jackie: 960 = x × y = xy

Rachel: 960 = (x+16)(y-2)

960 = xy -2x +16y -32

recall xy = 960, insert the value for xy

960 = 960 - 2x +16y -32

- 2x +16y -32 = 0

2x -16y = -32

x-8y = -16

x = 8y-16

recall xy = 960, insert the expression for x

(8y-16)y = 960

8y² -16y = 960

y² -2y - 120 = 0

y²+10y-12y -120 = 0

y(y+10) -12(y+10) = 0

(y-12) = 0 or (y+10) = 0

y = 12 or -10

since y can't be negative, y = 12

x = 8y-16

x = 8(12) -16 = 80

The number of hours Jackie worked = x = 80 hours

vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

540.6 mi

The angle of depression = angle of elevation = 6°

Let x = the distance to the runway.

tan 6 = 30000/x

xtan 6 = 30000

x = 30000/tan 6 =285430.9 ft

285430.9336.../5280 = 540.6 mi
