Answers:
Perimeter = 58.5 centimeters
Area = 163.15 square centimeters
===============================================
Explanations:
To get the perimeter, you add up the three exterior (aka outer) sides. So you add up everything but the length measuring 13 cm, as this segment is not on the outside of the triangle. Imagine this is a parking lot and you want to put fencing around the outer sides. You won't build any fencing to run through the middle of the lot (assuming you don't want to subdivide)
So we add up 15.4, 18 and 25.1 to get 15.4+18+25.1 = 58.5 centimeters. The units stay at centimeters. We don't go to "square centimeters" like we do with the area below.
------------
To get the area of the largest triangle, we multiply the base and height, then divide by 2. The base is always perpendicular to the height
base = 25.1
height = 13
area = base*height/2 = 25.1*13/2 = 163.15 square cm
You write "square" before the "cm" to indicate the proper units for the area. Think of a 1 cm by 1 cm rectangle which has area of 1*1 = 1 square cm. This idea applies to triangles as well because we can subdivide the triangle into smaller squares, or you can move one piece of a triangle to another side to reshape the figure into a rectangle.
Answer:
XS is 9 inches long.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that
YS is the perpendicular bisector of XZ.
Length of XZ = 18 inches
To find:
Length of XS = ?
Solution:
First of all, let us learn about the perpendicular bisector.
Perpendicular bisector of a line <em>AB</em> is a line <em>PQ</em>, which divides the line AB in two equal parts and is at an angle of 
with the line AB.
If B is on the line PQ, then 
and
Applying the above property in our given question.
Kindly refer to the attached image for the given dimensions.
S is on the line XZ.
So, the answer is XS is 9 inches long.
Answer:
Property of equality division
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
c = d
b ≠ 0 then c∕b = d∕b
Required
State the property used
From list of options a through d, only option A best fits the description.
This is so because property of equality division is such that
given two variables c and d where c = d
Provided that b ≠ 0
Take for instance;
b = 2; c = 8 and d = 8;
This implies that
Divide both sides by 2 (assumed value of b)
Answer:
0.73 is greater than 8/11 so the answer is B
Step-by-step explanation:
if you make 8/11 into a decimal its 0.727273 which is less than 0.73
