Answer:

Perimeter = 38.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A\ B = 13

B\ F = 9

F\ C = 5.6

Required

Calculate the perimeter of A B C

To calculate the perimeter of A B C, we sum up the sides of the triangle

i.e.

Perimeter = A B + B\ C + A\ C

AB is given in the question already.

So, we need to calculate B F and F C

To solve for BF, we consider triangle B F C

Using Pythagoras Theorem, we have:

B\ C^2 = B\ F^2 + F\ C^2

Substitute values for BF and FC;

B\ C^2 = 9^2 + 5.6^2

B\ C^2 = 81 + 31.36

B\ C^2 = 112.36

B\ C^2= \sqrt{112.36

B\ C = 10.6

Next, we calculate A C.

To calculate A C, we need to calculate A F, considering triangle B F A

Using Pythagoras Theorem, we have:

A\ B^2 = B\ F^2 + A\ F^2

Substitute values for B F and A B;

13^2 = 9^2 + A\ F^2

169= 81 + A\ F^2

A\ F^2 = 169 - 81

A\ F^2 = 88

A\ F = \sqrt{88

A\ F = 9.4

Since F lies on line A C:

A\ C = A\ F + F\ C

A\ C = 9.4 + 5.6

A\ C = 15.0

Recall that:

Perimeter = A\ B + B\ C + A\ C

Perimeter = 13 + 10.6 + 15.0

Perimeter = 38.6

<em>Hence, the perimeter is 38.6</em>

Consider the equality xy k. Write the following inverse proportion: y is inversely proportional to x. When y = 12, x=5.​
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

y=\dfrac {60} {x}   or   xy=60   (depending on your teacher's format preference)

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3><u>Proportionality background</u></h3>

Proportionality is sometimes called "variation".   (ex. " 'y' varies inversely as 'x' ")

There are two main types of proportionality/variation:

  1. Direct
  2. Inverse.

Every proportionality, regardless of whether it is direct or inverse, will have a constant of proportionality (I'm going to call it "k").

Below are several different examples of both types of proportionality, and how they might be stated in words:

  • y=kx      y is directly proportional to x
  • y=kx^2     y is directly proportional to x squared
  • y=kx^3     y is directly proportional to x cubed
  • y=k\sqrt{x}}   y is directly proportional to the square root of x
  • y=\dfrac {k} {x}   y is inversely proportional to x
  • y=\dfrac {k} {x^2}   y is inversely proportional to x squared

From these examples, we see that two things:

  • things that are <u>directly proportional</u> -- the thing is <u>multipli</u>ed to the constant of proportionality "k"
  • things that are <u>inversely proportional</u> -- the thing is <u>divide</u>d from the constant of proportionality "k".

<h3><u>Looking at our question</u></h3>

In our question, y is inversely proportional to x, so the equation we're looking at is the following y=\dfrac {k} {x}.

It isn't yet clear what the constant of proportionality "k" is for this situation, but we are given enough information to solve for it:  "When y=12, x=5."

We can substitute this known relationship pair, and find the "k" that relates this pair of numbers:

<h3><u>Solving for k, and finding the general equation</u></h3>

General Inverse variation equation...

y=\dfrac {k} {x}

Substituting known values...

(12)=\dfrac {k} {(5)}

Multiplying both sides by 5...

(12)*5= \left ( \dfrac {k} {5} \right ) *5

Simplifying/arithmetic...

60=k

So, for our situation, k=60.  So the inverse proportionality relationship equation for this situation is y=\dfrac {60} {x}.

The way your question is phrased, they may prefer the form: xy=60

Pint 16oz $3.98
LiRa [457]
Okay, so when dealing with unit rates you want to see how much you have of your main measurement. In this case your main measurement is ounces. Since you have 16 and 32 you are going to divide your dollar amount by those and round to the nearest tenth. 
Here are the equations that need to be used. Figure out the answers to them and round. This will give you your answer
3.98/16=
5.98/32=
