Answer:

20.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

J(-1, 5)

K(4, 5), and

L(4, -2)

Required

The perimeter of the traingle

Let us find the distance between the vertices

J(-1, 5) amd

K(4, 5)

The expression for the distance between two coordinates is given as

d=√((x_2-x_1)²+(y_2-y_1)²)

substitute

d=√((4+1)²+(5-5)²)

d=√5²

d= √25

d= 5

Let us find the distance between the vertices

K(4, 5), and

L(4, -2)

The expression for the distance between two coordinates is given as

d=√((x_2-x_1)²+(y_2-y_1)²)

substitute

d=√((4-4)²+(-2-5)²)

d=√-7²

d= √49

d= 7

Let us find the distance between the vertices

L(4, -2) and

J(-1, 5)

The expression for the distance between two coordinates is given as

d=√((x_2-x_1)²+(y_2-y_1)²)

substitute

d=√((-1-4)²+(5+2)²)

d=√-5²+7²

d= √25+49

d=  √74

d=8.6

Hence the total length of the triangle is

=5+7+8.6

=20.6

If f(x) is an exponential function where f(4) =17 and f (12.5) = 31, then find the value of f(18.5), to the nearest hundredth.
Svetradugi [14.3K]
Solution: f(18.5)=31.47

Step by step solution:
I started by making an equation in slope intercept form- I found the slope, 28/17, with the points (4, 17) and (12.5, 31). Then I found the y intercept, 1, with the point (4, 17). So the equation is y=28/17x+1. Then I just plugged 18.5 where the x is and solved for y

28/17(18.5)+1=y
28/17(37/2)+1=y
1036/34+1= y
30.47+1=y
y=31.47

Keep in mind that 1036/34 is not exactly 30.47 but that 30.47 was rounded to the nearest hundredth

Hope this helps :)

While walking between gates at an airport, you notice a child running along a moving walkway. Estimating that the child runs at
tekilochka [14]

The speed of the moving walkway relative to the airport terminal exists at 1.84 m/s.

<h3>How to estimate the speed of the moving walkway relative to the airport terminal?</h3>

Let x be the speed of the walkway.

(2.8 + x) = speed of child moving in direction of the walkway

(2.8 - x) =  speed of child moving against the direction of the walkway

Travel time = distance/speed

Travel time of child moving in direction of walkway = 23/(2.8+x)

Total elapsed time given = 29s

23/(2.8 + x)+ 23 / (2.8-x) = 29

LCD = (2.8 + x)(2.8 - x)

23(2.8 - x) + 23(2.8 + x) = 29(2.8 + x)(2.8 -x)

simplifying the equation, we get

23*2.8-23x+23*2.8+23x=29(2.8^2-x^2)

23(2.8+2.8)/29=2.8^2-x^2

x^2=(2.8)^2-(23*5.6)/29)=3.4

x=\sqrt{3.4}=1.84m/s

Speed of walkway = 1.84 m/s

The speed of the moving walkway relative to the airport terminal exists at 1.84 m/s.
