As shown in the diagram of the right triangles below, triangle: abc ~ triangle: def, ab = 7x, bc = 4, de = 7, ef = x. what is thr perimeter of triangle: def to the nearest hundredth?

since triangles are similar

4/x = 7x/7

=》 4/x = x

=》x^2 = 4

=》 x = 2

for right triangles a^2 = b^2+c^2

DF^2 = 7^2+2^2 = 53

=》 DF = 7.28

perimeter of DEF = 7 +2+7.28 = 16.28

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
