Answer:

10, 41, 42

Step-by-step explanation:

(n)+(4n+1)+(5n-8)=93 because triangle perimeter

10n-7=93

10n=100

n=10

Answer: 10 cm, 41 cm, and 42 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up an equation knowing the perimeter to solve for the lengths of each side. Then, we will plug the value of n into the different expressions that represent each side.

Perimeter of a triangle:

P = side a + side b + side c

Plug in our known values:

93 cm = (n) + (4n + 1) + (5n - 8)

Simplify and combine like terms:

93 cm = n + 4n + 1 + 5n - 8

93 cm = n + 4n + 5n + 1 - 8

93 cm = 10n -7

Add 7 to both sides of the equation:

100 cm = 10n

Divide both sides of the equation by 10:

10 cm = n

n = 10 cm

Solve for the lengths of each side:

n = 10 cm

4n + 1 = 4(10) + 1 = 40 + 1 = 41 cm

5n - 8 = 5(10) - 8 = 50 - 8 = 42 cm

Answer:

132.73

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation for area of a circle is A=πr*2

if your diameter is 13 simply take half of that and plug into the equation

π(6.5)*2 which when put into a calculator comes out to 132.732289

Dean put together first boxes for 5 of his neighbors. Each box cost $1.00 and contained a plant and a $3.00 pair of gardening gl

Scorpion4ik [409]

(5 Neighbors) x (($1.00 Box) + (? Plant) + ($3.00 Gloves)) = 42.50

5 x (1 + x + 3) = 42.50

Combine in parens.

5 x (4 + x) = 42.50

Distribute.

20 + 5x = 42.50

Subtract 20 from both sides.

5x = 22.50

Divide both sides by 5.

x = 4.50

Thats the cost of each plant.

Check.

5 x (1 + 4.50 + 3)

5 x 8.50 = 42.50

A force F1 of magnitude 6.00 units acts at the origin in a direction 30.0 above the positive x axis. A second force F2 of magnit

kumpel [21]

F1 = 6*cos(30) i + 6*sin(30) j = 5.20 i + 3 j
F2 = 0 i + 5 j 

R = F1 + F2 
Add the 'i's together (x direction) and the 'j's together (y direction) 
R = (5.20 + 0) i + (3 + 5) j = 5.2 i + 8 j 

Magnitude: 
||R|| = √(5.2^2 + 8 ^2) = √91 = 9.54 

Direction: 
Θ = atan ( Rj / Ri ) = atan( 8 / 5.2 ) = 57.0⁰

Nicole and adam are each saving money for a car. the total amount of money nicole will save is represented by the function f (x)

Yakvenalex [24]

For this case we have the following functions:
f (x) = 36 + 4x
g (x) = x2 + 15
By matching both functions we have:
f (x) = g (x)
36 + 4x = x2 + 15
Rewriting we have:
x2 + 15 - 4x - 36 = 0
x2 - 4x - 21 = 0
Solving the polynomial we have:
(x-7) (x + 3) = 0
x = -3
x = 7
Taking the positive root we have:
x = 7
Answer:
They will have the same amount of money saved after:
x = 7 weeks
