Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratios of triangle side lengths are ...

4 : 6 : 8 = 2 : 3 : 4

This is an arithmetic progression.

The only arithmetic progression of side lengths that makes a right triangle is ...

3 : 4 : 5

The triangle is not a right triangle, so AB is not a tangent.

Answer: 12.1 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a rectangular fence so it represents a rectangle.

Fencing the garden will require going around it therefore you are looking for the perimeter.

Perimeter of a rectangle = (2 * Length) + ( 2 * Width)

= (2 * 315) + ( 2 * 290)

= 1,210 cm

Convert to meters:

A meter is 100 centimeters

= 1,210 / 100

= 12.1 meters

Hello, happy Friday, I am just here with some geometry questions.

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

VW = 43.2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we can see that VZ = 88 - 55 = 33.

Then by the Triangle Proportionality Theorem, we can write that:

$\displaystyle \frac{55}{33}=\frac{72}{VW}$

Simplify:

$\displaystyle \frac{5}{3}=\frac{72}{VW}$

Cross-multiply:

$216=5VW$

So:

$\displaystyle V=\frac{216}{5}=43.2$
