Answer:

  • 7 feet, 3 feet, 7.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the sides be a, b and c.

<h3>Given</h3>

The length of one side of a triangle is 2 feet less than three times the length of its second side

  • a = 3b - 2

The length of the third side is 3/4 of the sum of the lengths of the first two sides:

  • c = (3/4)(a + b)

The perimeter of the triangle is 17.5 feet:

  • a + b + c = 17.5

<h3>Solution</h3>

Substitute a with b in the second equation:

  • c = (3/4)(3b - 2 + b) = (3/4)(4b - 2) = (3/4)(4b) - (3/4)(2) = 3b - 1.5

Now substitute a and c with b in the third equation and solve for b:

  • a + b + c = 17.5
  • 3b - 2 + b + 3b - 1.5 = 17.5
  • 7b - 3.5 = 17.5
  • 7b = 17.5 + 3.5
  • 7b = 21
  • b = 3

Find the value of a:

  • a = 3b - 2 = 3*3 - 2 = 9 - 2 = 7

Find the value of c:

  • c = 3b - 1.5 = 3*3 - 1.5 = 9 - 1.5 = 7.5

The sides of the triangle are:

  • a = 7 feet, b = 3 feet, c = 7.5 feet

BRAINLIEST!!! he dot plot shows predictions for the winning time in the​ 200-meter sprint. The winner finished the race in 22.2
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer: Approximately 3.15%

Explanation:

The true finishing time is 22.2 seconds. The prediction furthest from this is 22.9 seconds. This is a difference of 22.9-22.2 = 0.7 seconds. Divide this over the true time value to get (0.7)/(22.2) = 0.03153 which is approximate.

Move the decimal point to the right 2 spots to get to 3.153%; round this value however you need to.

79.30 ---- 100%
The while store is discounted by 12% So subract 12 from 100

100-12 = 98

We have to figure out what 88% is

79.30 ---- 100%
X ------------ 88%

Cross Multiply

79.3× 88 = 100x

6978.4 = 100X

69.784 is without taxes

69.784 = 100% {100% because it is the total price.}

69.784 = 100%
X --------- 6.25%

Cross Multiply

69.784 × 6.25 = 100X
436.15 = 100 X
X = 4.3615


69.784 + 4.3615
74.15 is the answer
