Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the let be 5+2x and breadth be 2x

Now we have,

Perimeter=2(l+b)

88=2(5+2x+2x)

88=10+8x

8x=78

x=78/8

x=9.75

Again,

length=5+2x=5+9.75=24.5

Breadth=2x=2x9.75=19.5

when asked to write a point slope equation for a line passing through the points (-3,-5) and (2,4) a student wrote y-4=-9/5(x-2)

Eduardwww [97]

(-3,-5)(2,4)
slope(m) = (4 - (-5) / (2 - (-3) = (4 + 5) / (2 + 3) = 9/5

y - y1 = m(x - x1)
slope(m) = 9/5
(2,4)...x1 = 2 and y1 = 4
sub
y - 4 = 9/5(x - 1)....this is the correct answer

the student figured the slope wrong....it is 9/5...not -9/5

A certain building has a triangular shaped face to link up of the sides of the triangular base or 145 feet 257 feet in 290 feet

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

18617.66 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

sides of triangular base

a= 145ft ,

b = 257ft ,

c = 290ft

calculate the area of the base

The base is a scalene triangle hence the area is calculated as follows

s = ( a + b + c ) / 2

= ( 145 + 257 + 290 ) / 2 = 346

Area of triangle = $\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)} = \sqrt{346(201)(89)(56)}$

= 18617.66 ft^2
