Answer:

The answer to your question a)   Perimeter = 12x² - 6                                                                             b)  Perimeter = 21 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

side 1 = 4x² - 3

side 2 = 4x² - 2

side 3 = 4x² - 1

Process

1.- Calculate the perimeter of a triangle

   Perimeter = side 1 + side 2 + side 3

-Substitution

   Perimeter = (4x² - 3) + (4x² - 2) + (4x² - 1)

-Simplification

   Perimeter = 4x² - 3 + 4x² - 2 + 4x² - 1

   Perimeter = 12x² - 6

2.- Find the perimeter when x = 1.5

   Perimeter = 12(1.5)² - 6

-Simplification

   Perimeter = 12(2.25) - 6

   Perimeter = 27 - 6

-Result

   Perimeter = 21 in

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining the perimeter of a triangle is expressed as

Perimeter = a + b + c

Where a, b and c are the lengths of each side of the triangle.

The side lengths of the triangular straw are 4x² - 3 inches, 4x² -2 inches, and 4x² - 1 inches. The expression for the perimeter is

4x² - 3 + 4x² -2 + 4x² - 1

= 4x² + 4x² + 4x² - 3 - 2 - 1

= 12x² - 6

When x = 1.5, then

Perimeter = 12(1.5)² - 6

Perimeter = 21 inches

Felipe planted some seeds for a science project. One of his plants grew 6 2/7 inches in the first week, and then it grew 5 11/14
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

<em>The plant grew </em>12\frac{1}{14}<em> inches</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Operations with Fractions</u>

Felipe planted seeds for a science project. One of the plants grew 6 2/7 inches in the first week and 5 11/14 inches in the second week.

We are required to find the total growth during the two weeks. We have to find the sum of:

6\frac{2}{7}+5\frac{11}{14}

Let's convert both fractions to improper form:

6\frac{2}{7}+5\frac{11}{14}=6+\frac{2}{7}+5+\frac{11}{14}

Adding the integers:

6\frac{2}{7}+5\frac{11}{14}=11+\frac{2}{7}+\frac{11}{14}

Now we find the LCM of 7 and 14 is 14, thus:

6\frac{2}{7}+5\frac{11}{14}=11+\frac{4}{14}+\frac{11}{14}

6\frac{2}{7}+5\frac{11}{14}=11+\frac{15}{14}=11+\frac{14+1}{14}

6\frac{2}{7}+5\frac{11}{14}=11+1+\frac{1}{14}

6\frac{2}{7}+5\frac{11}{14}=12+\frac{1}{14}

Rewriting as a mixed number:

The plant grew 12\frac{1}{14} inches

How does the value of 874.12 change if the decimal point is moved two places to the left?
Rashid [163]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

When you move the decimal either to the right or the left, you change the value. To divide any number by 10, move the decimal point one place to the left. For example:  

0.7

7

70

700

7,000

So, for any decimal, when you move the decimal point one place to the right, you multiply that number by 10.

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

y = 700x - 400

Step-by-step explanation:

A negative number represents an altitude below sea level.

Beginning: -400

y = mx + b

y = mx - 400

In 2 hours the altitude was now 1000 m.

1000 m - (400 m) = 1400 m

The altitude went up 1400 m in 2 hours. The rate of change is

1400/2 m/h = 700 m/h

The rate of change is the slope.

y = 700x - 400

Which set of angles can form a triangle
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

  2 acute and 1 right

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of angles of a triangle is always 180°.

Right angles are 90°, and obtuse angles are more than 90°. If each of the angles in the triangle is more than 0°, there obviously cannot be two angles that measure 90° or more. Just the sum of those two would be 180° or more, and that sum doesn't include the third angle.

So, any triangle can have at most one angle that is 90° or more (right or obtuse). The remaining two angles must be acute for the sum of angles to be 180°.

  2 acute and 1 right angle can form a triangle
