Answer:

Longest\ side=20\ inches\\\\Middle\ side=15\ inches\\\\Shortest\ side=6\ inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "x" the lenght of the longest side, "y" the lenght of the middle side and "z" the lenght of the shortest side.

The perimeter is:

41=x+y+z       [Equation 1]

We know that the longest side is 10 less than twice the middle side length. This can be expressed as:

x=2y-10          [Equation 2]

And the middle side length is three less than three times the shortest side length. This is:

y=3z-3         [Equation 3]

The steps are:

- Solve for "z" from the third equation:

y=3z-3\\\\y+3=3z

z=\frac{y+3}{3}    [Equation 4]

- Substitute [Equation 4] into [Equation 1]

- Substitute [Equation 2] into [Equation 1]

Then:

41=(2y-10)+y+(\frac{y+3}{3})

- Solve for "y":

41=2y-10+y+\frac{y+3}{3}\\\\41=2y-10+y+\frac{y}{3}+1\\\\41=\frac{10}{3}y-9\\\\41+9=\frac{10}{3}y\\\\\frac{50*3}{10}=y\\\\y=\frac{150}{10}\\\\y=15

- Substitute this value into [Equation 2] and into [Equation 4]:

x=2(15)-10\\\\x=20

z=\frac{(15)+3}{3}\\\\z=6

The two planes are flying on the two legs of a right triangle.
The straight distance between them is the hypotenuse of the triangle.

Since the speeds are in mph, let's work the time in hours.
Call the time 'H' that we're looking for.
It's the number of hours after they both take off that they're 650 miles apart.

After 'H' hours, the first plane has gone 500H miles north.
After 'H' hours, the second plane has gone 1200H miles east.
After 'H' hours, they are 650 miles apart.

Do you remember this for a right triangle ? ==>    A² + B² = C²

(500H)² + (1200H)² = (650)²

250,000H² + 1,440,000H² = 422,500

1,690,000 H² = 422,500

H² = (422,500) / (1,690,000) = 0.25

H = √0.25 = 1/2 hour = 30 minutes

One night a theater sold 186 movie tickets. an adults ticket cost $14, and a childs costs $10. in all, $2148 was taken in. How m
inna [77]

Answer:

72 adult tickets were sold and 114 child tickets were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=186, 14x=10y=2148

x=186-y

14(186-y)+10y=2148

2604-14y+10y=2148

2604-4y=2148

-4y=-456

y=144

x=186-144 : x=72

M<br> (9x + 2)<br> 1<br> (5х – 1)°<br> 740<br> What is mz2?<br> 39°<br> 570<br> ОООО<br> 67°<br> 740
Elodia [21]

Answer:

<h3>           m∠2 = 67°</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

m║n   ⇒   (9x + 2)° = 74°       {Corresponding Angles}

(9x)° = 72°

 x = 8

Angles: angle corresponding to angle (5x-1)°, angle 74° and angle 2 add to 180° (straight angle)

(5×8 - 1)° + 74° + m∠2 = 180°

39° + 74° + m∠2 = 180°

113° + m∠2 = 180°

m∠2 = 180° - 113°

m∠2 = 67°
