Answer:

Find the perimeter of the polygon with the vertices UC - 2, 4), V(3, 4), and W(3. – 4).

Explanation:

this is a right triangle, where one angle is 90 degrees. Two sides are perpendicular to each other.

U to V have the same y values so the distance is the difference in x values or 3 - (-2) = 5

V to W have the same x values, so the distance is the difference in y values or 4-(-4) = 8

U to W is the hypotenuse of the right triangle, = sqr(sum of squares of the other 2 sides) = sqr(25+64)=sqr(89)

Perimeter = sum of the 3 sides = 5 + 8 + sqr(89) = 13 + sqr89 = 13 + 9.44 = 22.44

81 is 9 squared. 100 is 10 squared. 91 is about 9.5 squared. Rounded to 2 decimal places, it's 9.44

It might help if you plot the 3 points on a graph. That makes it clear you're dealing with a right triangle.

Or if you want, you could have used the distance formula on all 3 sides, but it simplifies to the above.

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Fewer methamphetamine labs are being operated and/or discovered in the United States.

Explanation:

Although it is difficult to establish a definite conclusion without more information, from what we do know there are few seizures of methamphetamine labs. This could be due to a reduced presence of attempted seizures, to an overall decrease in the number of labs, to more efficient means of hiding the labs from the authorities or to the increased importation of finished products from other countries.

Every year, plates under the ocean move approximately

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

The answer is (s.) 1-2 centimeters. Every year, plates under the ocean move approximately 1-2 centimeters. This movement is the earthquake under the ocean and can also be called Submarine earthquake when the intensity goes high. This movement can lead to tsunamis.

Thalia is interested in purchasing a hybrid car. which findings would most likely convince her to make the purchase? check all t

defon

"Going to the gas station fewer times per month" as well as "decreasing the effects of global warming" is most likely to convince Thalia in purchasing a hybrid car, Options A and B are correct.

<h3>What is a hybrid in a car?</h3>

When a car is powered by an internal combusion engine as well as an electric motor, it is called as a hybrid car.

The findings that could most possibily convince Thalia in purchasing a hybrid car would be:

Going to the gas station fewer times per month
decreasing the effects of global warming

Therefore, "Going to the gas station fewer times per month" as well as "decreasing the effects of global warming" is most likely to convince Thalia in purchasing a hybrid car.

Which describes the boundary where earthquake activity occurs along rift valleys?

Andreyy89

Answer:

divergent boundary on land

Explanation:

Divergent boundary involves the crustal spreading of two tectonic plates. Divergent boundary is the separation or rifting apart of two plates. Divergent boundary can occur between oceanic plates or continental plates.

Divergent boundary between oceanic plates , the convection currents lift the lithosphere producing a mid oceanic ridge. Extensional forces spreads the lithospheric plate apart causing an in flow of magma from the interior of the earth. The magmatic materials travels through fissure and oceanic ridges to the surface of the ocean floor. The volcanic material/magma later solidifies to form new oceanic crust with the youngest rock closest to the mid oceanic ridge.

Divergent boundary between continental plates , the convection current usually pull the continental plates upward due to the thickness of the continental plates. The continental plates are pulled thin by the extensional forces resulting to fracture. The fracture result into a rift shaped structure. Rift valleys are formed which is a lowland region. The two parts of the continents(lands) that are separated are likely to develop fault on both sides of the rifts. The fractured area along the rift valley is a region prone to earthquakes.

Rift valley are structures found in divergent boundary between continents(land) and are region of earthquakes activities because of movements and fracturing occurrence. The East African rift is an example of this kind of plates boundary.
