To answer the question above, let x be the shorter one of the pieces. With the variable, we can express the longer piece as 2x + 3. Based on the given, the sum of the lengths of these pieces should sum up to 14 ft.
2x + 3 + x = 14 ft, x = 3 2/3 ft
Substituting this value for the longer piece, we get 10 1/3 ft. Thus, the lengths of the pieces are 3 2/3 ft and 10 1/3 ft.
Answer:
8.5
Step-by-step explanation:
3x-7=5x=19
3x-7-5x=5x+19-5x
-2x-7=19
-2x-7+7=19+7
-2x=26
-2x/-2=26/-2
x=-13
:) Did you get that?
The answer is below
Step-by-step explanation:
Two triangles are said to be congruent if for the two triangles all the three sides are equal and all the three angles are equal to each other.
Given that ΔPQR is congruent to ΔSTU, hence all corresponding sides and corresponding angles are equal to each other.
∠P = ∠S = 59°
∠S + ∠T + ∠U = 180° (sum of angles in a triangle)
59 + 75 + ∠U = 180°
134 + ∠U = 180°
∠U = 46°
∠U = ∠R = 46°
∠Q = ∠T = 75°
Also, for the sides:
ST = PQ = 7 m
SU = PR = 8 m
