Considering the perimeter of the triangle, it is found that the lengths of the sides are given by:

19 feet, 22 feet, 35 feet.

<h3>What is the perimeter of a triangle?</h3>

The perimeter of a triangle is given by the sum of the lengths of it's sides.

For this problem, we consider the sides as:

x, y and z.

The perimeter is of 76 feet, hence:

x + y + z = 76.

The second side of a triangular deck is 3 feet longer than the shortest side, hence:

y = x + 3.

A third side that is 3 feet shorter than twice the length of the shortest side.

z = 2x - 3.

Applying everything at the perimeter equation, we have that:

x + y + z = 76.

x + x + 3 + 2x - 3 = 76.

4x = 76.

x = 76/4

x = 19.

Then the other variables are:

  • y = x + 3 = 22.
  • z = 2x - 3 = 2(19) - 3 = 35.

The lengths are:

19 feet, 22 feet, 35 feet.

Answer: 43
Explanation: All triangles add up to 180. We can subtract angle Z to get 86. Since X and Y are equal, we can divide 86 by 2.

Radius question <br><br> * answers listed on pic but I just need a step by step explanation *
Rama09 [41]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A(x) be the area function of given rectangle.

Radius of circle = 7x

Therefore, length of rectangle = 14x

Width of rectangle = 7x

\therefore \: A(x) =l\times w \\  =  14x   \times  {(7x)} \\ =98x^2 \\  \huge \red{ \boxed{ \therefore \: A(x) =98 {x}^{2} }}

Let P(x) be the Perimeter function of given rectangle.

P(x) =2(l + w) \\= 2(14x + 7x)\\=2\times 21x\\= 42x\\\huge \red{ \boxed{ \therefore \:P(x)= 42x}}
