Answer:
Perimeter=22 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter Of A Figure
Perimeter is the distance measured around a shape. If the figure is line-shaped, the perimeter can be obtained by adding the individual lengths of each segment around the shape.
The figure shown is surrounded by line segments. We only have to add them all to find the perimeter. But we don't need each individual length to do so. We may notice the following (given all angles are right):
The sum of HG+FE+DC equals AB. So the upper and lower lengths are twice AB, or equivalently: 2*7 1/2 m =15 m
It can also be noted that AH+GF=BC+DE=2 1/4+1 1/4 = 3 1/2 m. It means that the two lateral lengths are twice this value: 2* 3 1/2 = 7 m
Thus, the total perimeter is 15 m + 7 m = 22 m
3.625 = 29/8 as a fraction. Is that what you're asking?
A rational number is any number that can be written <em>as a ratio of two integers</em>.
0.62 fits the bill, as it can be written as the ratio 62/100 (or simplified to the ratio 31/50)
Answer:
So, this triangle PQR can be broken into two right triangles, PNQ and PNR, with legs PQ = 39, PN =15, and QN = ? and PR = 17, PN = 15, and NR =? respectively.
Let's solve for what is easier first:
Since we know that 5-15-17 is a Pythagorean triplet, we can infer that NR is 5....like I said earlier, it is a right triangle, so this guess holds true.
Here comes the interesting part:
Now, we have one part of QR, which is QN.
The other part can be solved by using the Pythagorean theorem.
It is (39^2-15^2)^(1/2)..which gives you 36, the square root of 1296, which happens to be the difference between the squares of 15 and 39.
SO, QR = QN + NR
5+36 = 41
QR = 41.
Hope this helps!
