<em>Answer:</em>

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

<em>Explanation:</em>

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

<em> </em>

<em> </em>

<em> </em>

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

<em> </em>

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

<em> </em>

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

<em> </em>

<em> </em>

<em> </em>

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

<em> </em>

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

<em> </em>

<em> </em>

<em> </em>

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

<em> </em>

<em> </em>

<em> </em>

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

<em> </em>

Which gulf is off the southern coast of the united states?
Brums [2.3K]
<h2>Answer: The Gulf of Mexico </h2>

The Gulf of Mexico is an ocean basin that formed after the collision of the continental plates and the sinking of the seabed during the rupture of the former Pangea mega continent millions of years ago.

This gulf is also the ninth largest water surface in the world, which is contained among the littorals of Mexico, the United States and the island of Cuba. Therefore, this mass of water corresponds to the Atlantic Ocean in the northern part of the American Continent.
