the lengths of the sides of a triangle are consecutive even integers. one fourth of the perimeter is one less than the length of the shortest side. find the perimeter of the triangle.

Please help xD

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the shortest side be x, the other sides are x + 2 and x + 4

Perimeter is:

P = x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 3x + 6

It is given that:

1/4P = x - 1

Substitute and solve for x:

1/4(3x + 6) = x - 13x + 6 = 4x - 44x - 3x = 6 + 4x = 10

Perimeter is:

P = 3*10 + 6 P = 36
Answer 2

HERE,

the lengths of the sides of a triangle are consecutive even integers.

If one angle=a

other are=(a+2) and (a+4)

So,

perimeter(p) =a+a+2+a+4=3a+6

But,

one fourth of the perimeter is one less than the length of the shortest side.

[tex]\bold{\dfrac{1}{4}p=a-1 }[/tex]

so,

According to the question,

[tex]\tt{\dfrac{1}{4}(3a+6)=a-1 }[/tex]

[tex]\tt{\dfrac{3a+6}{4}=a-1 }[/tex]

[tex]\tt{4(a-1)=3a+6 }[/tex]

[tex]\tt{ 4a-4=3a+6 }[/tex]

[tex]\tt{4a-3a=6+4 }[/tex]

[tex]\bold{ a=10 }[/tex]

so,

Perimeter (p)=3×10+6=30+6=36

perimeter of the triangle is 36 .

B. 8.76 square feet
C. 5.16 square feet
D. 1.56 square feet

Answers

Answer:

B.76 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

SA=B+L

Answer: B)  8.76 square feet

=========================================================

Explanation:

The base is a square with side length 0.6 ft, so the base area is 0.6*0.6 = 0.36 square feet.

Each lateral triangular panel has base 0.6 ft and height 7 ft. The area of one triangle is 0.5*base*height = 0.5*0.6*7 = 2.1 square feet

So four of these triangles combined give a lateral surface area of 4*2.1 = 8.4 square feet. Add this onto the base area to get 8.4+0.36 = 8.76 square feet of total surface area.

A sign in a bakery gives these options:

40 cupcakes for $66
Find each unit price to the nearest cent, and show your reasoning.
Which option gives the lowest unit price?

Answers

Answer:

The lowest unit price would be last option

Step-by-step explanation:

We must divide the price by the amount of cupcakes we will be getting. Once we do that we'll get:

A. 1.77 cents

B. 1.75 cents

C. 1.65 cents

Hope this helped

Answer:

40 cupcakes for $66

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the unit price of something, dived the total amount by how may there are.

$26 divided by 15 cupcakes would be $1.7333333333, but if you round it up, it would be  $1.74

$42 divided by 24 cupcakes would be $1.75

$66 divided by 40 cupcakes would be $1.65

1. Simplify both sides of the
equation

and/or combine like terms).
2. Use inverse operations and
properties of equality to
"undo" what is happening to
the variable. (use the
reverse order of operations
because we are undoing)
3. Check your answer by
substituting your answer
into the original equation.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, in order to get rid of the parenthesis, you need to multiply 2.5 with whatever is in the parenthesis.

Multiply 2.5 on each side of the equation like this:

(12.75 x 2.5) (24.50 x 2.5) =188.75

Once you're finished, you should get 61.25 and 31.875x =188.75

Now in order to find 'x' you will need to subtract 61.25 to each side of the equation like this:

61.25 - 61.25 = 0

188.75 - 61.25 = 127.5

So now your equation should look like this:

31.875x = 127.5

You have to divide 31.875 by each side now.

Once you divide them, your final answer should be 4.

so x = 4.

I really hope this helps! ^^

Sue has to cut her grandma's grass this weekend and wants to know exactly how much area she will be cutting. Calculate the area of the polygon. Be sure to show all your work and explain your answer.

Answers

Answer:

Six-sided polygon that includes two isosceles right triangles, one with height and base of 25 feet,

Total area = triangle 1 area + triangle 2 area + rectangle area= 312.5 + 32 + 280 = 624.5

Triangle1 area = height × base2

Triangle1 area = 25 × 252/ = 312.5

The other height and base of 8 feet,

Triangle 2 area = height × base2

Triangle 2 area = 8 × 8/2= 32

And one rectangle measuring 35 feet by 8 feet

Rectangle area = height × base 

Rectangle area = 35 × 8 = 280

The area of the polygon is 624.50 ft².

The shapes in the polygon.

The area of the polygon can be determined by adding the areas of the shapes in the polygon. The polygon is made up of two right triangles and a rectangle.

Area of a triangle = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x base x height

Area of a rectangle = length x width

Area of the polygon

Area of the rectangle

Width = 8 feet Length = 35 feet

Area = 35 x 8 = 280 ft²

Area of the triangles

Area of the bigger triangle

Base = 33 ft - 8ft = 25 ftLength = 25 feet

Area = 1/2 x 25 x 25 = 312.50 ft²

Area of the smaller triangle

Base = 43 ft - 35ft = 8 ftLength = 8

Area = 1/2 x 8 x 8 = 32 ft²

Area of the polygon = 32 ft² +  312.50 ft² +  280 ft² = 624.50 ft²
