The length of the other two sides is 10 and 35 respectively.

<h3>What is a ratio?</h3>

A ratio is a quantitative relation showing the comparison between two or more numbers. It can also be written in the fractional form where the first part is the numerator and the second part is called the denominator.

From the given information:

  • The sides of the triangle = 2:7:8
  • The total sides of the triangle = 2+7+8 = 17

We are being told that the longest side is the triangle is equal to 40.

i.e.

\mathbf{\to\dfrac{8}{17}\times x = 40}

\mathbf{x = 40 \div \dfrac{8}{17}}

\mathbf{x = 40 \times \dfrac{17}{8}}

x = 85

Now for the other two sides 2 and 7, their length is as follows.

\mathbf{\dfrac{2}{17}\times 85 = 10}

\mathbf{\dfrac{7}{17}\times 85 = 35}

Therefore, we can conclude that the length of the other two sides is 10 and 35 respectively.

Can you chose which option it is
ohaa [14]

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

8x + 2 + 70 + 60 = 180 ( sum of all angles of a triangle = 180 degree )

8x + 132 = 180

8x = 180 - 132

8x = 48

x = 48 / 8

x = 6

Therefore 3 rd option is correct.

Hope this helps

You draw two cards from a standard deck of 52 cards. What is the probability of drawing a club and then a diamond consecutively
otez555 [7]

Answer:

There are 13 cards for each suit so the first fraction is 13/52 and the next one is 13/51 as there is no replacement for the first card you pulled.

Multiplying them you get: 13/52*13/51= 169/2652,

Then you divide both sides by 13 to get: 13/204

So, the answer is C.

I hope this helps!

In which direction must the graph of f(x) = |x| be shifted to produce the graph of g(x) = |x + 4|?
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Left on the x-axis

Step-by-step explanation:

The opposite of the coefficient's amount of units is how much the graph will be moved.

Table comparisons

g(x)=|x+4|

x  1   -2   <u>-4</u>

y  5   2    <u>0</u>

Underlined is the x-int of the equation.

f(x)=|x|

x  1  <u>0</u>  -1  3

y  1  <u>0</u>   1  3
