What is the perimeter of CDE?

<h3>Answer: 32.5 units (choice C)</h3>

This value is approximate.

=============================================================

Explanation:

To find the perimeter, we simply add up the lengths of the three external sides.

The horizontal side from D to E is 16 units long since |-10-6| = 16. I subtracted the x coordinates of the points and applied absolute value. You could also count out the spaces and you should count 16 spaces from D to E.

Unfortunately, the diagonal lengths aren't as straight forward. We have two options here: The pythagorean theorem, or the distance formula.

I'll go with the distance formula.

Let's find the distance from C to D, aka the length of side CD

C = (x1,y1) = (-1,-2)\\\\D = (x2,y2) = (-10,0)\\\\d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-1-(-10))^2 + (-2-0)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-1+10)^2 + (-2-0)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(9)^2 + (-2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{81 + 4}\\\\d = \sqrt{85}\\\\d \approx 9.2195\\\\

Side CD is roughly 9.2195 units long.

Repeat this idea to find the length of CE

C = (x1,y1) = (-1,-2)\\\\E = (x2,y2) = (6,0)\\\\d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-1-6)^2 + (-2-0)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-7)^2 + (-2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{49 + 4}\\\\d = \sqrt{53}\\\\d \approx 7.2801\\\\

Side CE is roughly 7.2801 units long

The perimeter of triangle CDE is approximately...

P = DE+CD+CE

P = 16 + 9.2195 + 7.2801

P = 32.4996

This then rounds to 32.5 units. The answer is choice C.

Answer:

(-6,-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

So there actually is really easy way to solve this problem(that many people will never teach you for some weird reason).

Find difference between two points first in x and y direction.

X difference = (-3 - (-8)) = 5

Y difference = (-1 - (-6))  = 5

Multiply 2/5 to each difference

X difference 5 * 2/5 = 2

y difference 5* 2/5 = 2

just add the two number to First point(point A)

-8 + 2 = -6

-6 + 2 = -4

(-6,-4)

Shira’s Shoes sold 875,000 pairs of sandals in June, which was 70% of the total number of shoes sold. How many shoes did the com
azamat

Answer:

1250000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of the total number of shoes sold be 'y'

y*(70/100)= 875000

70y = 875000*100

y = (875000*100)/70

y = 1250000

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

b. Do not reject H0. We do not have convincing evidence that the mean weekly time spent using the Internet by Canadians is greater than 12.7 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that in a study of computer use, 1000 randomly selected Canadian Internet users were asked how much time they spend using the Internet in a typical week. The mean of the sample observations was 12.9 hours.

H_0: \bar x =12.7\\H_a: \bar x >12,7

(Right tailed test at 5% level)

Mean difference = 0.2

Std error = \frac{6}{\sqrt{1000} } \\=0.1897

Z statistic = 1.0540

p value = 0.145941

since p >alpha we do not reject H0.

b. Do not reject H0. We do not have convincing evidence that the mean weekly time spent using the Internet by Canadians is greater than 12.7 hours.

May I have some help with this?​
madam [21]

Answer:

a. tanB= 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

tanA= p/b =:2/3

For angle A,

p= 2

b=3

For angle B,

p = 3

b=2

So, TanB = 3/2
