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

ABC has been translated 5 units to the right, as shown in the diagram. What is the length of A1B1?
kolezko [41]

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

If the triangle is translated ANY amount of units ANYWHERE, the length of each segment AND the angles will ALL be the same.

Why?

Because if you translate something, you are only moving it somewhere else. You aren't stretching the shape or making any modifications. You are simply moving it, and that will only change the coordinates the points will be at.

Show all work to multiply (2+√-25)(4-√-100)
ki77a [65]

Answer:

<h3>-42</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

given the expression;

(2+√-25)(4-√-100)

Note that √-25 = √-1 * √25

√-100 = √-1 * √100

According to complex number,  √-1 = i

√-25 = 5i

√-100 = 10i

The expression becomes

(2+5i)(4-10i)

Open the parentehsis;

= 2(4)-20i+20i-50i²

=  8-50i²

Since i² = -1

The expression becomes;

8-50i² = 8-50(-1)²

8-50i² = 8-50 = -42

Hence the product of the expression is -42

there are two pizzas. Conor ate 1/4 of a pizza, Brandon ate 2/8, Tyler ate 3/4, and Audrey ate 4/8. who ate the most of the two
katovenus [111]
Let's say that each pizza is sliced into 8 equal sized pieces, I have to make all of the fraction have the denominator of 8.
Conor: 1/4 * 2/2 = 2/8
Tyler: 3/4 * 2/2 = 6/8
Brandon: 2/8
Audrey: 4/8
Then I'll put the fractions in order from least to greatest. 2/8, 2/8, 4/8, 6/8. Then you would have to multiply each fraction by 2 since there are two pizzas that have 8 equally sized pieces.
Brandon: 2/8 *2/2 = 4/16
Conor: 2/8 * 2/2 = 4/16
Audrey: 4/8 * 2/2 = 8/16
Tyler: 6/8 * 2/2= 12/16
This means that Tyler ate the most of the two pizzas.
