Answer:

P = 5+5+x+x = 10 + 2x

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the perimeter of any polygon, all we have to do is add up the lengths of all the sides. In this instance, we have a rectangle with a given side of 5 inches. Unfortunately, this isn't enough information to solve this problem completely. We know that opposite sides of a rectangle have the same length, so two of the sides are 5 inches, but we don't know the length of the other 2 sides, so I will write the length of one of the unknown sides as x. So to find the perimeter, we add up all the sides:

How to find the circumference of a circle

Romashka [77]

C = πd. In this equation, "C" represents the circumference of the circle, and "d" represents its diameter. That is to say, you can find the circumference of a circle just by multiplying the diameter by pi. Plugging π into your calculator will give you its numerical value, which is a closer approximation of 3.14 or 22/7.
The radius is half as long as the diameter, so the diameter can be thought of as 2r. Keeping this in mind, you can write down the formula for finding the circumference of a circle given the radius: C = 2πr. In this formula, "r" represents the radius of the circle. Again, you can plug π into your calculator to get its numeral value, which is a closer approximation of 3.14.

Through: (6, 2), perpendicular to<br> y = -x-5 <br> in slope intercept form

True [87]

Answer:

y = x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -x-5

Slope of line is -1.

Slope of perpendicular to line is 1.

Point-slope equation for line of slope 1 that passes through (6,2):

y-2 = 1(x-6)

Rearrange equation to slope-intercept form:

y = 1(x-6) + 2

y = x-4

Can the vertex also be a solution of a graphed parabola?

stiv31 [10]

One important feature of the parabola is that it has an extreme point, called the vertex. If the parabola opens up, the vertex represents the lowest point on the graph, or the minimum value of the quadratic function.
