Answer:

Perimeter = 38

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall: when two tangents are drawn to meet at a point outside a circle, the segments of the two tangents are congruent.

Given,

CQ = 5

PQ = 10

PR = 14

Perimeter of ∆PQR = RC + CQ + QB + BP + PA + AR

CQ = QB = 5 (tangents drawn from an external point)

BP = PQ - QB

BP = 10 - 5 = 5

BP = PA = 5 (tangents drawn from an external point)

AR = PR - PA

AR = 14 - 5 = 9

AR = RC = 9 (tangents drawn from an external point)

✔️Perimeter of ∆PQR = RC + CQ + QB + BP + PA + AR

= 9 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 9

Perimeter = 38

Answer:

84 grams and 5 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

because one ounce equals 28 grams, that means 3 ounces = 3 * 28 = 84

because 28 grams equals 1 ounce, 140 grams = 140 / 28 = 5 ounces

The image point of A after a translation right 1 unit and down 2 units is the point B (9,3). Determine the coordinates of the pr

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Alright, it went 1 to the right and down 2 times.

So for point B, you calculate the opposite.

Point B goes 1 left while going up by 2.

(9 - 1, 3 + 2) = (8, 5)

Pre-image point A is (8, 5)

at x = 0, y = 100, y-intercept

meaning at 0 years, at the very beginning of functioning, the satellite had 100 units of power.

at y = 0, x = 10, x-intercept

meaning, at year 10, the satellite had 0 units of power, already out of power.

105.6 L/h = ___ L/min?

Drupady [299]

$(\frac{105.6\ L}{hour})(\frac{1\ hour}{60\ minutes})$

The hours cancel out and you divide 105.6 by 60 to get

1.76 L/min

What's a rational number between 7.7 and 7.9?

svet-max [94.6K]

A rational number is a number that can be expressed as the relationship between two integers. Fractions and decimals will either repeat or end. An example is 5. Maybe 7. 53573 is an example as well. So is 5/1, because 5 and 1 are both integers. so is 7.5, because 7 and 5 are both integers, and it ends (the numbers after the decimal doesn't keep going). Your answer is 7.8, because it ends.
