Answer:

12 units

Step-by-step explanation:

base is x

one of the legs measure 4x-6

therefore, perimeter is equal to

2 (4x - 6) + x = 96

8x - 12 + x = 96

9x = 96 + 12

9x = 108

x = 108/9 = 12 units

The coordinate of c is 2

On a number line 'a' is at 11

and , 'b' is at -4

To find the coordinate of c

Now, According to the the question:

'a' and 'b' are -4 -11 = -15 units apart.

'ac' = 3/5 .'ab'

'ac'= 3/5 . (-15)

'ac' = -9

Now, Coordinate of 'c'

= 11 -9

= 2

Hence, The coordinate of c is 2

Answer:

12.083 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we are given with two coordinates and asked to determine the distance between them.

Here we are going to use the distance formula, which is given as under

$D=\sqrt{(y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2-x_1)^2}$

Where

$(x_1,y_1) = (-9,4)$

$(x_2,y_2) = (2,-1)$

Replacing these values in the distance formula

$D =\sqrt{(-9-2))^2+(4-(-1))^2}$

$D =\sqrt{(-11)^2+(5)^2}$

$D =\sqrt{121+25}$

$D =\sqrt{146}$

$D= 12.083$

Hence the distance is 12.083 units
