Answer:
The perimeter of polygon ABCD, to the nearest thousandth units is
22.227 units
The perimeter of polygon ABCD', to the nearest thousandth, would be 20.980 units
The area of polygon ABCD' is 19.5 units²
Step-by-step explanation:
The coordinates forming the polygon are
A (-4,-1), B(-2,3), C(2,2), and D(4,-3)
The perimeter then is given by the sum of the length of the sides as follows;
Length of line between two X and Y points distance, xi and yj apart is
length XY =
Therefore, the length between points AB is
length AB =
= = 4.472 units
Similarly, length BC is given by
Length BC = = 4.123 units
Length CD = = 5.385 units
Length DA = = 8.246 units
The perimeter is equal to;
length AB + Length BC + Length CD + Length DA
= 4.472 + 4.123 + 5.385 + 8.246 = 22.227 units
If the point D is moved up 2 units and left 1 unit we have
D' = x-1, y+2 where x and y are the coordinates of point D
D(4, -3) → D'((4-1), (-3+2)) = D'(3, -1)
The length D'A = =7 units
The perimeter of polygon ABCD'
length AB + Length BC + Length CD + Length D'A
= 4.472 + 4.123 + 5.385 + 7 = 20.980 units.
The area is given by the determinant of the 3 by 3 matrix using Cramer's Rule as follows
=
=
Triangle ABC we have
A(-4,-1)
B(-2,3)
C(2,2)
=
=
Triangle ACD'
A(-4,-1)
C(2,2)
D'(3, -1)
=
= 10.5 units²
Area of polygon = =
+
= (9 + 10.5) units²
Area of polygon ABCD' = 19.5 units².
1- Solution using graphs:
Take a look at the attached images.
The red graph represents the first given function while the blue graph represents the second given function.
We can note that the two graphs are the same line (they overlap).
This means that any chosen point on one of them will satisfy the other.
This means that there are infinite number of solutions to these two equations.
2- Solution using substitution:
The first given equation is:
y = -5x + 3 ...........> equation I
The second given equation is:
2y + 10x = 6 ...........> equation II
Substitute with I in II and solve as follows:
2(-5x+3) + 10x = 6
-10x + 6 + 10x = 6
0 = 0
This means that there are infinitely many solutions to the given system of equations.
Hope this helps :)
