Answer:
The lengths of the sides of the playground are 14 feet, 6 feet, 7 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
At first, let us find the perimeter of the playground
∵ Perimeter of a triangle is P = S1 + S2 + S3
∵ The sides of the triangular playground are (2x) ft, (x - 1) ft, and x ft
∴ S1 = 2x, S2 = x - 1, S3 = x
→ Substitute them in the rule of the perimeter above
∵ P = 2x + x - 1 + x
→ Add the like terms
∴ P = (2x + x + x) - 1
∴ P = 4x - 1
∵ The perimeter of this playground is 27 feet
∴ P = 27
→ Equate the two values of P
∴ 4x - 1 = 27
→ Add 1 to both sides
∴ 4x - 1 + 1 = 27 + 1
∴ 4x = 28
→ Divide both sides by 4
∵ =
∴ x = 7
→ Substitute the value of x in each side to find their lengths
∵ S1 = 2(7)
∴ S1 = 14 feet
∵ S2 = 7 - 1
∴ S2 = 6 feet
∵ S3 = 7 feet
∴ The lengths of the sides of the playground are 14 feet, 6 feet, 7 feet
Brazil population: 1.907×
Mexico population 1.123×
To find how much more the population was in Brazil than in mexico, you would subtract the Brazil population to Mexico's population:
The 's would not cancel out because they are representing further decimal places that aren't written, so you would subtract 1.907 and 1.123.
1.907 - 1.123= 0.784
Brazil's population is 0.784× larger than Mexico.
