Okay when subtracting 2 negatives the number will be come positive. Using this question ur new equation will be
5+3.8+1.5. You just type in your calculator and get your answer.
The answer is 10.3! Hope this helped!

When there is a in front of an expression in parentheses, change the sign of each term in the expression.

So it becomes 5 + 3.8 + 1.5
Now it’s just simple math....

From pt 1 to pt 2 there is a three unit change, from pt 2 to pt 3 there is a 3 unit change, from 3 to 4 there is a 5 unit change, and from 4 to 1 there is a 3 unit change. Add those together 3+3+3+5= 14 units is perimeter

To find area: look at image. answer is 30 units

Find the exact value of each of the following. In each case, show your work and explain the steps you take to find the value.

mote1985 [20]

Answer: a) $\frac{1}{2}$

b) 1

c) 2

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) sin 17π/6

It is known that the value of sin x repeat after an interval of $2\pi\ or\ 360^{\circ}$

∴ $\sin\frac{17\pi}{6}=\sin2\frac{5\pi}{6}=\sin(2\pi+\frac{5}{6}\pi)=\sin{\frac{5}{6}\pi}=\sin(\pi-\frac{\pi}{6})=\sin(\frac{\pi}{6})=\frac{1}{2}$

[Since the value of sin x is positive in 2nd quadrant]

(b) tan 13π/4

It is known that the value of sin x repeat after an interval of $\pi\ or\ 180^{\circ}$

∴ $\tan\frac{13\pi}{4}=\tan(3\pi+\frac{\pi}{4})=\tan{\frac{\pi}{4}}=1$

(c) sec 11π/3

$\text{Since, }\sec(x)=\frac{1}{\cos x}$

$\cos(\frac{11\pi}{3})=cos(\frac{5\pi}{3}+2\pi)=\cos(\frac{5\pi}{3})=\cos(6\pi-\frac{\pi}{3})=\cos(\frac{\pi}{3})=\frac{1}{2}\\\Rightarrow\sec(\frac{11\pi}{3})=\frac{1}{\cos(\frac{11\pi}{3})}=2$

Determine if two triangles are congruent. If they are, state how you know.

nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

B. SSS

Step-by-step explanation:

The two triangles already have 2 congruent sides, and the only missing thing to see is that they both share the same side with one another. This automatically makes them congruent.
