Hey ! there

Answer:

  • Smallest side = <u>2</u><u>1</u><u> </u><u>m</u>

  • Middle side = <u>2</u><u>8</u><u> </u><u>m</u>

  • Longest side = <u>35</u><u> </u><u>m</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we are given that <u>perimeter</u> <u>of a triangle is </u><u>8</u><u>4</u><u> </u>m , <u>longest</u><u> </u><u>side </u><u>of </u><u>triangle </u><u>is </u><u>7</u><u> </u><u>meters</u><u> </u><u>less </u><u>than </u><u>twice </u><u>the </u><u>length </u><u>of </u><u>shortest </u><u>side </u><u>that </u><u>is </u><u>x </u><u>and </u><u>middle </u><u>side </u><u>is </u><u>7</u><u> </u><u>meters</u><u> </u><u>longer </u><u>than</u><u> </u><u>the </u><u>shorte</u><u>st </u><u>side </u><u>.</u>

And we're asked to find the <u>length</u><u> of</u><u> </u><u>each </u><u>side </u><u>o</u><u>f </u><u>triangle</u><u>. </u>

<u>So </u><u>,</u>

  • Shortest side = <u>x m </u>

  • Middle side = <u>( x + 7 ) </u>m ( Because in question it is given that middle side is 7 metres longer than the shorter side )

  • Longest side =<u> ( 2x -7 ) m</u> ( Because in question it is given that longest side is 7 m less than twice the length of shortest side )

<u>We </u><u>know</u><u> that</u><u> </u><u>,</u>

<u>\underline{\boxed{\frak{Perimeter_{(Triangle)} = Sum \:of\: three\: sides}}}</u>

<u>Solution</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u> </u><u>-</u>

\longmapsto \qquad x +( x + 7) + (2x - 7) = 84

<u>Step </u><u>1</u><u> </u><u>:</u> Removing parenthesis and cancelling 7 with -7 :

\longmapsto \qquad x + x + \cancel{7} +  2x - \cancel{ 7 }= 84

<u>Step </u><u>2</u><u> </u><u>:</u> Adding like terms on left side :

\longmapsto \qquad 4x = 84

<u>Step </u><u>3 </u><u>:</u> Dividing with 4 on both sides :

\longmapsto \qquad \dfrac{ \cancel{4}x}{ \cancel{4}}  =   \cancel{\dfrac{ 84}{4} }

On calculating further, We get :

\longmapsto \qquad \red{\underline{\boxed{\frak{ x = 21 \: m}}}}\quad \bigstar

<u>According</u><u> to</u><u> question</u><u> </u><u>,</u>

  • x = smallest side

  • <u>Henceforth</u><u> </u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>smallest</u><u> </u><u>side </u><u>of </u><u>triangle </u><u>is </u><u>2</u><u>1</u><u> </u><u>meters </u><u>.</u>

<u>▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬</u>

  • x + 7 = middle side
  • 21 + 7 = 28

  • <u>Henceforth</u><u> </u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>middle</u><u> side</u><u> of</u><u> triangle</u><u> is</u><u> </u><u>1</u><u>3</u><u> </u><u>meters </u><u>.</u>

<u>▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬</u>

  • 2x - 7 = longest side
  • 2(21) - 7
  • 42 - 7
  • 35

  • <u>Henceforth</u><u> </u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>longest </u><u>side </u><u>of </u><u>triangle</u><u> </u><u>is </u><u>35</u><u> </u><u>met</u><u>e</u><u>r</u><u>s </u><u>.</u>

<u>Verifying</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u> </u><u>-</u>

Now we are checking our answer by adding all the sides and equating it with given perimeter that is 84 metres .

  • 21 + 28 + 35 = 84

  • 49 + 35 = 84

  • 84 = 84

  • L.H.S = R.H.S

  • Hence , Verified .

<u>Therefore</u><u> </u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>our </u><u>answer</u><u> is</u><u> correct</u><u>. </u>

Answer:

The percentage of workers not wearing the helmets is 5.3 %.

Step-by-step explanation:

A safety committee randomly examined 900 construction workers during their work, and found that 48 workers were not wearing helmets. Estimate the percentage of workers who do not wear protective masks during their working time with 98% confidence

total workers = 900

Not wearing helmet = 48

Percentage which are not wearing the helmets

= \frac{48}{900}\times 100 = 5.3 %%
