shortest side: 851

middle side:927

longest side : 1306

Explanation

Step 1

Let

x represents the shortest side

y represents the middle side

z represents the longest side

so, set the equations

a) the perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of the sides, so

\begin{gathered} \text{Perimeter= side1+side2+side3} \\ replace \\ 3084=x+y+z \\ x+y+z=3084\Rightarrow\text{ Equation(1)} \end{gathered}

b) The shortest side measures 76 mi less than the middle​ side( in other words, you have to subtract 76 from middle side to get the shortest side)

x=y-76\Rightarrow equation(2)

c) and the longest side measures 379 mi more than the middle side,( in other words, you have to add 379 to middle side to obtain the longest side)

z=y+379\Rightarrow equation(3)

Step 2

solve the equations

a) now, replace the x an z value sfrom equation (2) and (3) into equation(1)

\begin{gathered} x+y+z=3084\Rightarrow\text{ Equation(1)} \\ (y-76)+y+(y+379)=3084 \\ -76+3y+379=3084 \\ 303+3y=3084 \\ 3y=3084-303 \\  \\ 3y=2781 \\ \text{divide both sides by 3} \\ \frac{3y}{3}=\frac{2781}{3} \\ y=927 \end{gathered}

now, replace the y value in equatino (2) to find x

b)

\begin{gathered} x=y-76\Rightarrow equation(2) \\ x=927-76 \\ x=851 \end{gathered}

c) finally, prelace x and y value in equation (1) to find z

\begin{gathered} x+y+z=3084\Rightarrow\text{ Equation(1)} \\ 851+927+z=3084 \\ \text{add like terms} \\ 1778+z=3084 \\ \text{subtract 1778 in both sides} \\ 1778+z-1778=3084-1778 \\ z=1306 \end{gathered}

so

shortest side: 851

middle side:927

longest side : 1306

I hope this helps you

What is the approximate diameter of a tire that will make 775 complete rotations in one mile? (Note: there are 5280 feet
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

About 2.17 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>d</em> represent the diameter of the tire.

Then the circumference of the tire will be:

C=d\pi

So, the tire will travel dπ miles after one rotation.

After 775 rotations, the total miles traveled should be 5280 feet. Thus:

775(d\pi)=5280

Solve for <em>d:</em>

<em />\displaystyle d=\frac{5280}{775\pi}<em />

Approximate:

d=2.1686...\approx2.17

The circumference of the tire should be about 2.17 feet.

HEEEEEELP !

If you meant to write y=23x-4 then none of the lines are perpendicular.

I suspect you intended y=2/3x-4, then line D, y=-3/2x-4 is perpendicular.

For any line y=mx+b, you have to "invert" m to get  a perpendicular line. Inverting in this case means: flip numerator and denominator and add a minus sign.

So 2/3 becomes -3/2, hence answer D.

The 'inverted' m is called the opposite reciprocal. That's your word of the day.

Hello can you please help me posted picture of question

The correct answer to your question is 6, option B.

The degree of a polynomial is the highest exponent or power of the variable that is involved in the expression. In the above question we have only one variable which is x, and from the given terms we can see that the highest power of x is 6. So the degree of polynomial is 6. The degree of polynomials helps us to know about the end behavior of the graph.
