Elena L [17]2 years ago

4 0

Answer:

3, 5, 7

Step-by-step explanation:

We can assign the first number as x. Since all the numbers are odd the next number will be x+2, and the last will be x+4.

3*(x+4) = 7(x)

3x+12 = 7x

12 = 4x

x = 3

x+2 = 5

x+4 = 7

What is the ratio of the length of one midsegment of an equilateral triangle to the sum of two of its side lengths?

mars1129 [50]

Given:

One midsegment of an equilateral triangle.

To find:

The ratio of the length of one midsegment of an equilateral triangle to the sum of two of its side lengths.

Solution:

All sides of an equilateral triangle are same.

Let a be the each side of the equilateral triangle.

Length of the midsegment is equal to the half of the non included side or third side.

$Midsegment=\dfrac{a}{2}$

The sum of two side is

$a+a=2a$

Now, the ratio of the length of one midsegment of an equilateral triangle to the sum of two of its side lengths is

$\text{Required ratio}=\dfrac{\text{Length of midsegment}}{\text{sum of two sides}}$

$\text{Required ratio}=\dfrac{\dfrac{a}{2}}{2a}$

$\text{Required ratio}=\dfrac{a}{4a}$

$\text{Required ratio}=\dfrac{1}{4}$

$\text{Required ratio}=1:4$

Therefore, the ratio of the length of one midsegment of an equilateral triangle to the sum of two of its side lengths is 1:4.
