20 pts The vertices of a triangle are (3,-2), (5.-8) and (-2, 1). What is the approximate perimeter of
the triangle

23.56 length units

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the perimeter of a triangle, we need to calculate the length of all the sides, then sum up the lengths.

To calculate each side, we take the differences of the coordinates of consecutive vertices, square, add, and take square-root (Pythagoras theorem).

Side 1: (3,-2), (5, -8)

difference in coordinates=(2,-6), length=sqrt(2^2+6^2) = sqrt(40)

Side 2: (5, -8), (-2,1)

difference in coordinates=(7,-9), length=sqrt(7^2+9^2) = sqrt(130)

Side 2: (-2,1), (3,-2)

difference in coordinates=(5,-3), length=sqrt(5^2+3^2) = sqrt(34)

Perimeter

= sum of sides

= sqrt(40)+sqrt(130)+sqrt(34)

= 6.32+11.40+5.83

= 23.56 approximately

54 kilometers per hour

step-by-step explanation:

according to rules:

1 km = 1000 meter

which means that 1 meter = 1/1000 km

1 hour = 3600 second [ as 1 hour = 60 min = 60 *60 seconds ]

which means that 1 second = 1/3600 hour

therefore, 1 kilometer/hour =

thus to convert 15 meter per second to kilometer per hour, we multiply 15 to 3.6 kilometer/hour.

15 meter/second=   which is the required answer.

correct answer is c. just did it
