<h3>Answers:</h3><h3>a. Vertices of triangle ABC are: A, B, C</h3><h3>b. Sides of triangle ABC are: AB, BC, AC</h3><h3>c. The side between angle A and angle C is: side AC</h3><h3>d. The angle between sides AB and CA is: angle A</h3><h3>e. Scalene triangle</h3>
=============================================
Explanations:
- a. Each uppercase letter represents a point or angle of the triangle.
- b. Connect two points of a triangle and you get a line segment. The order of the letters does not matter. So AB is the same as BA.
- c. Like with part b, connecting two angles or points forms a segment.
- d. Note how the letter "A" is in both AB and CA, so this is the shared angle between the two segments.
- e. Sides AB, BC, and AC are all different lengths, so we have a scalene triangle. If you had two sides equal to each other, then you'd have an isosceles triangle. If all three sides are equal, then it would be equilateral.
There is no need for a diagram, but if you want, you can draw one out. See the attached image below for the diagram. This diagram should hopefully answer any questions you may have about the explanations above. There are many ways to draw the triangle, so your diagram might look different from mine.
Answer:
At a speed of 57 mph for 8 hr a driver will travel 456 mi
Step-by-step explanation:
Here we have a summary of the letters for each variable:
Speed ---> r (in units of mph)
Time ---> t (in units of hr)
Distance ---> d (in units of mi)
These three variables are related by the next formula:
d = rt
In the data they give to you: 57 mph and 8 hr, they are telling you the r and the t, respectively:
r = 57 mph
t = 8 hr
The only thing you have to do is replace the values:
d = rt ----> d = 57 mph x 8 hr
d = 456 mi
<span>(3.5, 3) is the circumcenter of triangle ABC.
The circumcenter of a triangle is the intersection of the perpendicular bisectors of each side. All three of these perpendicular bisectors will intersect at the same point. So you have a nice self check to make sure your math is correct. Now let's calculate the equation for these bisectors.
Line segment AB:
Slope
(4-2)/(1-1) = 2/0 = infinity.
This line segment is perfectly vertical. So the bisector will be perfectly horizontal, and will pass through ((1+1)/2, (4+2)/2) = (2/2, 6/2) = (1,3).
So the equation for this perpendicular bisector is y = 3.
Line segment BC
(2-2)/(6-1) = 0/5 = 0
This line segment is perfectly horizontal. So the bisector will be perfectly vertical, and will pass through ((1+6)/2,(2+2)/2) = (7/2, 4/2) = (3.5, 2)
So the equation for this perpendicular bisector is x=3.5
So those two bisectors will intersect at point (3.5,3) which is the circumcenter of triangle ABC.
Now let's do a cross check to make sure that's correct.
Line segment AC
Slope = (4-2)/(1-6) = 2/-5 = -2/5
The perpendicular will have slope 5/2 = 2.5. So the equation is of the form
y = 2.5*x + b
And will pass through the point
((1+6)/2, (4+2)/2) = (7/2, 6/2) = (3.5, 3)
Plug in those coordinates and calculate b.
y = 2.5x + b
3 = 2.5*3.5 + b
3 = 8.75 + b
-5.75 = b
So the equation for the 3rd bisector is
y = 2.5x - 5.75
Now let's check if the intersection with this line against the other 2 works.
Determining intersection between bisector of AC and AB
y = 2.5x - 5.75
y = 3
3 = 2.5x - 5.75
8.75 = 2.5x
3.5 = x
And we get the correct value. Now to check AC and BC
y = 2.5x - 5.75
x = 3.5
y = 2.5*3.5 - 5.75
y = 8.75 - 5.75
y = 3
And we still get the correct intersection.</span>
Answer:
The perimeter of the base of the birdhouse is 36 units
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>The complete question is</em></u>
Chase is building a birdhouse in the shape of a regular polygon. He knows that the measure of the interior angle is twice the measure of the exterior angle and the length of a diagonal that passes through the center is 12. What is the perimeter of the base of the birdhouse?
step 1
Find the measure of the interior angle
Let
x ---> the measure of the interior angle
y ---> the measure of the exterior angle
Remember that
the sum of the interior and exterior angle in any polygon is equal to 180 degrees
so
----> equation A
we have that
the measure of the interior angle is twice the measure of the exterior angle
so
----> equation B
substitute equation B in equation A
so
That means-----> The figure is a regular hexagon
step 2
Remember that
The length of the diagonal that passes through the center of the hexagon is equal to two times the length of the regular hexagon
Let
b ----> the length side of the hexagon
so
The perimeter of the hexagon is given by the formula
substitute
The 1905 was 3.0 inches while 2004 was 4.2 inches since they are 1.2 apart and they add up to 7.2
