Answer:

  65.8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of strings required to tie each vertex to the other three will be ...

  (4)(3)/2 = 6

Those strings will be perimeter strings plus two diagonal strings. The lengths of the perimeter strings are given as 12 ft and 7 ft. The lengths of the diagonal strings can be found using the Pythagorean theorem.

  d² = 12² +7² = 144 +49 = 193

  d = √193 ≈ 13.892

Then the total length of all strings is ...

  L = 2(12.0 +7.0 +13.9) = 65.8 . . . . feet

The artist will need 65.8 feet of string.

Multiple similarity transformations are performed on a triangle. which elements must be preserved?
romanna [79]
Answer – Angle Measure
 Generally speaking, when similarity transformations are performed on a triangle, the angle measure is preserved, whereas the length of the sides may be enlarged or reduced depending on the scale factor of the transformation, thus giving rise to similar triangles with corresponding angles that have exactly the same measure and corresponding sides that are proportional. <span>
